I agree, RP -- definitely a gutsy move. Then again, McCarthy probably realizes that he's got one season to turn this around or his neck'll be in that noose either way.

But still, wiping out the coaches on one side of the ball is nad-ly, for sure. I'm assuming they're trying to demonstrate how far they're willing to go to fix that side of the ball, and I do hope it works.

Personally I think it is gutsy. There is no doubt that if this does not work, Mike M. is putting his head coaching neck in the noose.



RP - It already is. He will be gone if we have another losing season. The NFL isn't very tolerant of losing (well, except if you're the Lions and your patience for losing is quite large).

I think the wipe out was more a desperate act. We as fans don't know how close MM was to being fired. Look at jsonline - it gave the Coaching staff a D-. That's not acceptable and heads had to roll. MM made sure it wasn't his.

My honest opinion is that MM and Ted Thompson feel pressure after this year and know that with another bad year both could be gone. With this move they are looking for a fix and have a built in excuse if we happen to struggle next year. The youngest team excuse won't work anymore. I liked the cleaning house and hopefully we bring in a big name DC ( i want either one of the Ryan boys) and if we get them i see us going after a suggs or peppers in free agency. So i think what DC comes in will tell a little bit about our Free Agency activity.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I think everyone is overreacting. The new DC will and should be allowed to choose HIS own coaches. Maybe a few of these guys will be hired back, but let's wait and see who gets the top job first.

Keeping certain guys and asking the new DC to fit how they do things into his plan when he's the one ultimately responsible for the overall success of the defense is stupid.

Another thing about McCarthy pulling the trigger. I am not surprised in the least that he went here and to the extent he has. You don't become a HC without an almost unreal competitive nature about you. I know. My father was a HC for 30 years in college and I NEVER saw a guy so competitive in my life. I think I'm competitive in nature and I'm sure most of you here feel that way too. Forget it. We are not on the same planet with these guys.

What I like about McCarthy is he puts 100% of his energy in positive motion and backs his guys to the nth degree. Now some will say "ah, he's to loyal, he won't see the forest for the trees. That my friends is BULL. He gives his guys ever opportunity to make what they do work and backs them all the way but NEVER mistake this for rose colored glasses.

If there is one thing I learned in all these years being around a Head Football Coach as much as I have been it's this:

WEAR YOUR BIG BOY SHOES AND BE READY TO PLAY WITH THE BIG BOYS.

There just aint no gray area here. They make no excuses and they hold no prisoners.

I would have been much more surprised had McCarthy NOT done what he did putting them all on the road. They had a reasonable amount of time and didn't get it done. End of story.

Ok just cuz its a new year LT doesn't mean you have to keep agreeing with me lol. Just giving you shit i think we could be very active in FA and it will all be from the heat Ted Thompson feels. The fans and board i don't think will accept him not doing anything.

No i am being honest..

I would expect him to do as he always has done..

but I am hearing things that this year he is being felt pressured ( I assume Mark M ) to use FA this year....as getting draft players to be very productive in their 1st year wont work...

also hearing that if they make a huge improvement in 2009, Ted is gone

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
