Nah, not teams that get that much media attention and speculation. This way they control the message and can move on.

I am so excited for another year of horrible clock management, zero adjustment, no motion on the road, poor play calling and poor discipline. Was hoping for Belichick, it'd be audacious and perhaps a spectacular failure, but it'd be different and perhaps successful.

I do wonder if each side was quietly factoring in what their rival was choosing to do

Not that they'd outright flip their opinion, but if it was real close to 50/50 amongst the decision-makers, and you know the main rival for the division decided to keep their unpopular (amongst the fans) guy, maybe you feel like that tips things over into the conservative choice of "run it back"?

Feel like that probably factored into it

But feel like if a rival was running it back you’d swing for the fences and make a move and mix sports metaphors. Bill Belichick leading the Eagles against the fat mike boys, and vice versa, sounds real good

Happy the chargers have a better chance at harbaugh tho

I keep feeling like there's a more elegant metaphor here but the Eagles and Cowboys both seem to be drowning in quicksand, up to their necks, and doing nothing but staring each other in the eyes and thinking "well, as long as that motherfucker dies too".

Great season up until it mattered. I think it's just an ongoing perception of fat Mike at this point.

Think Marty except not loveable. And slightly better in the playoffs but not to the point where he's better enough. Does that mean he should be fired? Hell if I know, but I'm not exactly buying super bowl tickets if I had the money to for the Cowboys next year.

Dallas had a great season if you ignore the games where they ate an absolute ton of poo poo from teams that may not have had their record but clearly were better put together and/or coached.

Dak was briefly considered MVP candidate? Nonfactor for an entire half (this is officially A Trend of his in the playoffs)

Micah Parsons, pass rush extraordinaire? Nonfactor

Defense overall and turnovers? Nonfactors.

CeeDee Lamb? Dak was off, but Lamb was too until garbage time. The perpetually injury ridden Michael Gallup had a better game, and he's been nonexistent all season.

The offensive scheme was bad and clearly could not figure out the defense. That's on McCarthy, who is also the offensive coordinator.

The defensive scheme was lost and failed from moment one. Everyone in DFW from all walks of life said "well, if the Packers have success running the ball the game could get dicey." Understatement of the year. The Packers did what the Bills did what the 49ers did. Dan Quinn has not beaten anyone coached by one of his former coordinators, apparently. That's a problem!

It was a garbage performance we had seen 3 separate times this season as I will include the Cardinals game. 3 times it happened, 3 times and there wasn't a single person on this team that could figure out any way to address the issues in any way. A complete team failure repeated 4 times, with the 4th occurring when it mattered most.

Everybody has earned the chance to get fired from the Dallas Cowboys, but Jerry is too scared to start over because he's old and failing and desperate. Problem is, his methods haven't worked for near 30 years now. It is a statistical anomaly that the Dallas Cowboys have not even been to an NFC title game since the 90s. They win a lot of games!!! Good god there are franchises green with envy when you look at the win totals this otherwise pointless organization has obtained. But beyond the regular season there simply has not been a team talented enough, deep enough, mentally strong enough, or just lucky enough to make it past round 2 of 4 in the playoffs.

The failures of the 2023 Dallas Cowboys are not just on Mike McCarthy. It's on just about everybody except Bryan Anger. I don't think "run it back" is really the right call here.

Mike McCarthy is 1-3 in the playoffs in four years for a team with Superbowl aspirations. He hasn't even managed to get The Cowboys to the conference championship game.
Few believed in him when he was hired and he's done nothing to change anybody's mind about him.
Jerry Jones fires good coaches too soon and hangs on to subpar coaches too long.

Overall he's 11-11 in playoffs but I think you could make the argument that his playoff resume is getting worse as times going on.

I would be fine if he was the Panthers coach for like the next 3 years. He'd probably build us into a contender but I really wouldn't expect a deep playoff run. He's kinda like John Fox at this point just with one better record in the big one.

Mike is a big oak tree you don't take him down with a few swings. Sorry Dallas fans this is exactly the same as his tenure in GB which is why I predicted he'd be staying. He knows how to talk to ownership.

Tap "A" to drink!!!

The Sirianni thing baffles me. With all the cards down and no coordinators to lean on, he showed his whole rear end as a guy who couldn't get his teams ready to play. The optimal outcome - they get better coordinators and have a decent year again. Those coordinators move on and get promoted, back to square one.

Toaster Beef
Jan 23, 2007

that's not nature's way
That's absolutely a possibility. I have to think if they do bring in coordinators good enough to warrant head coaching nods elsewhere, they'll do more to try and hold onto 'em this time around. But there's probably only so much you can offer a coordinator that stacks up even halfway decently to being a head coach.

Crossposting from NFCE thread, today there was an Inquirer report that as of this morning that Sirianni hasn't met with Lurie yet. He's been essentially tasked with Howie's help to develop a list of coordinator candidates. Last time this happened, Doug was fired. Sirianni's not out of the woods yet.
