Yep. The sooner Jags fans get over this pipe dream of landing Ben Johnson, the better.

I've gotten over it after Monday when we didn't fire anyone.  I had high hopes we could get Ben Johnson, but it's not going to happen.  

No up and coming flavor of the week HC is going to come here.  

But McCarthy...  I could see him wanting to redeem himself.  Maybe I'm wrong.  I usually am.  But of all the available options that are plausible, I think he'd be the best choice right now.

Yay. Another retread.

Quick question, how many coaches have won a SB in their 3rd head coaching stint on a new team?

How many coaches have gone to a SB with one team and then coached another team to a SB?  

We can do these rhetorical questions all day long.  I'm just giving you my opinion of something we could do that may work out for us, considering our current circumstance.

I've had a couple drinks...  So take this for what it is...

But we need to hire Mike McCarthy immediately after the Jerry fires him.

He knows how to win in the regular season.  He's dealt with divas in the front office and on the field.  He's made Dak Prescott look like an OK QB. 

I know I've been saying that I don't want any retread HCs.  But if we're gonna go with a retread.  I want Mike McCarthy.  Dude is gonna have a chip on his should, and he's gonna come in guns blazing.  Additionally, he'll probably be bringing in all his coaches that are salivating to prove Dallas wrong.  This would be the best retread option available.  And I'd bet McCarthy would absolutely sign here.

He'd be Doug 2.0 in my opinion. I don't get the sense that he is a players coach like Dan Campbell or an X's and O's guy like a lafluer/KOC/shanahan type.

Id prefer the latter but I think we need one of those 2 archetypes.

I'm just spit balling.  It's not like McCarthy is my 1st choice.  I'm just giving an idea to discuss.  He's not the worst choice.  He's also not the best choice.  I just don't know what else to talk about in this thread.

McCarthy achieved 1 playoff win with the Cowboys and their roster was one of the best in the league. Studs all over the place.

Hard pass.

I want nothing to do with McCarthy.

This franchise is such a [BLEEP] show. Fire the GM, get a new one, and let them make these coaching decisions.

---

I said before Sunday's game it was going to be that day, Monday or the end of the season for firings. I don't like the decision but I can understand the waiting until Black Monday.

The one thing I can't accept is the defeaning silence coming out the building. The fans deserve some statement or communication. I'd love to know where all these 'reports' came from before the game but I'm pretty damn angry how they are just trying to ignore everything going on right now.

I’m listening to outtakes from Doug’s presser and he’s simply flailing. It’s nothing but canned word salad with no substance. The guy is mentally checked out. Gone. Vacant.

He really needs to be put out of his misery, career-wise.  Making him keep going is not kind.  When a coach fails, the nicest thing you can do is fire him right away.  I remember we kept Gus Bradley way beyond when he should have been fired, and I felt sorry for the guy because he had to go out there and lose week after week and explain it to the media week after week and it was brutal.  This is like a fight where the referee needs to step in and stop it.

It also sends a message to the team that they’re not expected to perform. The rest of the games will just be scrimmages.

Shad Khan needs to pull his head out, and soon.

Yep, and what happens when players start coasting and not playing full speed? Injuries.

I get the feeling nothing is going to happen until after the season.

When you hire coordinators and assistants who also suck, they can't place anyone in an interim position so it is what it is for the rest of the season.

That's the problem with firing Doug right now. We have no one that can even qualify as an intern.

I think we have more talent than our record shows. I think the main issue is that our offense doesn't fool anyone and our defensive line doesn't have the right personnel for a 4-3. We still have a NT that isn't quite athletic enough for a 4-3 DT and our other tackles for the most part are really a bit undersized and and better suited for a 3-4 DE. Our coverage scheme is man, but our interior is weak and doesn't create enough pressure to make man coverage effective. Plus some of our DBs aren't very good at man.

What I see is a team that makes too many mistakes. We are leaving too many people uncovered which makes it easy for QBs to find an open guy. An interior DL that can't fill gaps and we get run over.. Our oline and RBs that get confused on blocking assignments.

Our playbook is too simple on offense. What happened to all the plays we had a few years ago that we could fool coverage? We struggle on defense to get pressure up the middle on QBs, yet we blitz less than any team in the NFL.

It almost feels like we always running vanilla plays like we don't realize preseason is over.

This!
Right!
Here!

He's burned out, heck I thought he was burned out once he left GB. I could see the malaise settle in with a quickness if he doesn't take time away to recharge.

ayuh. You gotta be careful or that apathy will spread throughout the locker room.

Watch the quit. It's already starting.

We are this craptastic with him, do you honestly think we'd be any worse with a peter-principled imposter in his place?

McCoy's done it before, I'm sure he could keep things afloat for the remaining weeks. We're not asking anyone to get us to the postseason. We just need someone who is going to lead. We are not getting that presently.

I also notice that other teams aren't scared to throw to their receivers even if we have a DB on their hip and let their receiver make a play. I can't believe how many crazy catches have been made on us this season.

Why do we hesitate to do that with Engram and Junior? If I saw either one in a one on one situation even with a DB on their back hip, I'm throwing it up to them because I know they can beat any DB in the league for the ball.

I remember on a game's highlights where a DB had great coverage on the receiver and the QB just threw it anyway and the receiver came down with the ball for a touchdown. The announcer said the reason that throw was made was because the QB knew his guy was better than theirs.

Unless the ball is badly under thrown, Engram and Junior are going to win that catch almost every time.

It's a missing element in this regime's strategy. 

Likely a byproduct of Pederson being constantly in TL's ear about avoiding picks.

Agreed. I do like seeing teams like the Bucs and Bengals getting Baker and Burrow to just sling it. They've got problems on both sides of the ball so let's just put it on the QB's arm and go for it.

I second this, or third whatever.  Let TL just play ball.
