The Boy Wonder and Quinn are tremendous. 

Bones is actually good, too, but what a rough game he had yesterday. 

When the time comes to choose between MM and the WizKid, I know which team Dak has sided with.

I don’t think you can let Kellen go somewhere else. We will regret that forever.

Allah Sean Payton.

We’re going to end up really disappointed when he takes another job this off season.

This is the great debate. Do you let him leave, knowing that you’re losing an elite play caller? Do you try to make him the highest paid OC in the hope that’s enough to compel him to stay? Or, do you promote him to Head Coach, knowing that he isn’t ready, but has the potential to be a Sean Payton level head coach when he’s matured in the job?

We got bit by letting Payton go. Unless we win the Super Bowl this year, you let McCarthy go and promote Moore.

So you would fire MM if Dallas wins 12 games and gets to NFC title game and replace him with the kid? 

That’s pretty wild.

Such a great question. First and foremost you have to evaluate MM. do you want to potentially make the same mistake as Chan Gailey? Jerry has stated numerous times his biggest mistake as a GM was letting Chan Gailey go to soon. But on the flip side, you have the Sean Payton conundrum. Keeping an aging Bill Parcells for 1 more season and letting Sean Payton walk to New Orleans.

I’d very strongly consider it.

I agree that is wild. The Cowboys F.O. were in the same position back in '08 (I think) when they had Jason Garrett. They thought he was the next Payton and made Garrett the highest paid OC when Wade was here. We saw how it played out when JG got promoted to HC. Kellen Moore is not ready yet. 

If this team wins 12 games and gets to the NFC title game, I think you have to keep MM.

The team quit on Wade and immediately played hard for Redball. 

Redballs lack of growth doesn't change the fact it was the better decision to fire Wade.

Thought experiment:

Take Kellen Moore out of the team, and make MM the de facto OC (which he would be if Kellen left). Does making it to the NFCCC even feel like a realistic goal?

To me, it doesn’t. 

If I can keep the status quo, I would do that. But if Kellen is going to leave without being promoted to HC, I think I would make the change. Fortune favors the bold.

Hes young. Dak is young. They are friends, teammates, direct QB coach and then offensive coordinator. Kellen is Dak's Sherpa. You live with the growing pains when he eventually becomes HC and screws up.

Garrett was a great hire for us though? I dont understand why Cowboys fan bash it. The issue wasnt hiring Garrett, it was holding on to him for so long. 

 

But the reason we held on for so long, is he was an excellent coach from a culture and drafting stand point, so we were never truly a "bad" team under him, outside of when Romo went down.
