Does Jerry Jones fire McCarthy on Monday? The GM too?

[Mister Defense]

What a mess Jerry's team is.  Makes me appreciate what we have in Buffalo even more. 

 

Today against the Eagles they looked unprepared, undisciplined, and unmotivated.

 

They have the worst rushing offense in the NFL.  And the 3rd worst rushing defense.

 

They have given up 44, 29, 47, and 34  points in their four home games this year, losing them all in blowouts.  Right there in Jerry's giant soulless castle, a building that effectively symbolizes his leadership.

 

Even though Jones likely realizes the best way to get out of this mess is to have a great draft this year, so the more they lose the better, I don't think he can handle the humiliation any more and sets McCarthy loose on Monday. I assume when CBS cut to the king's throne room  late in the game, and his was empty, he was already setting this up, a done deal.

 

What do you think?

 

Will Jones also replace the GM? He must realize that the guy is obviously not cutting it, and at 82  he would love to win one more Super Bowl.  I bet he would give up most of his wealth, and all of his fame, to win one more. Will he look himself in the mirror and do what he needs to do to have that opportunity again?

How bad does Trey Lance have to be to not be able to beat out Cooper Rush? Holy cow

A very good point, one I had not really considered: today we see another fatal flaw in his team, a very poor back up quarterback situation too.

 

And with the lack of offensive play makers, running backs and receivers, and ditto for the defensive personnel, today he embarrassed himself even more.

 

He knows full well that tomorrow the criticism of the very poor depth at quarterback will grow louder and louder.  Prescott is out for the year, and what we saw today may be what we see for the rest of the year. Yikes.

 

He had two days to get someone else in here, knowing that Prescott may be lost for the year.  But he ignored that in the same way he simply ignored their player needs in the off season.  The sutff is likely to really hit the fan for jones--and he has not been handling it very well lately.

The only person needing to be fired by Jones...IS Jones.  It's 100% on him.

But they traded a 4th for Jonathan Mingo.

No not the fame - ir is connected to his ego which is enormous.

Jerry Jones IS the GM for partly that reason and what you mean will he fire who has been his 2nd in command.

yup, makes sense, was thinking along the same line when I wrote that, realizing that the thing that would likely give him the most satisfaction in winning another Super Bowl is the attention, the spotlight, shining brightly on him.

 

Without that, he would likely not want one as much.

They put up a stat:

 

Last two home games zero touchdowns and TEN turnovers.  Yikes.

Wow, add that to the rest-- and it is absurd to continue on this path for another day, don't you think?

I would not be at all surprised if McCarthy is fired.  The GM could be, but he is mostly a figurehead IMO.  Jerry Jones makes most of the big personnel decisions.  That means the team is likely to remain dysfunctional regardless of who is the coach and GM.

Isn't Jones that actual GM?

Who would they get that would be good enough to keep them “competitive”.  Today should have been an audition for Lance in the 2nd half, he’s the only one with tools to even be a legitimate QB on that team, even though he’s looked pretty awful in every opportunity, there’s no time like the present to try to get him some time.  If he’s good, you have a trade-able asset for the draft next year.

Well, another head coach may also be fired tomorrow, Aaron Rodgers. If so, I cannot imagine a more perfect fit.  He could be their quarterback too.

 

Really, it can be Joe Schmo. Maybe someone who can at least instill a little discipline, structure, attention to detail, to end the year with at least the hope, or the attempt to improve.

 

Then, with an 'interim head coach', it will be much less embarrassing for Jones than having his beloved team look so awful playing for a coach who has won the Super Bowl. He can rationalize it was because teams don't usually do that well under interims..

Yes he is! I don’t understand why. But I love a good ole cowboys melt down.

Jerry doesn’t believe in firing coaches in season but man knowing they have not won a single home game this year something is going to happen.

You're right.  Jerry does have a VP of Player Personnel he could fire as a handy scape goat.

That would be very funny, and very bold of him.

He fired Wade Philips in season and replaced him with Jason Garrett. Its not unheard of for him

 

Funny enough, I dont think McCarthy is the problem there. They are built like a kid collecting cool named players. Thats on the GM

[BuffaloBillyG]

It's pretty well documented that there is no team Jones hates worse than Philly. I don't know if he makes a coaching change tomorrow...but if anything would prompt one it would be not only losing to but being completely humiliated by the Eagles. At home. Even without Dak.

 

If he doesn't make the switch tomorrow or Tuesday, McCarthy is likely safe for the year.

[Sojourner]

The GM runs everything past Jerry. Make no mistake about that. He’s just a fall guy for things ever going wrong. 
 

McCarthy should have been out last year. Surprising he got another go. Won’t be surprising that he’s gone. Monday or the end of the season, he’s out the door.
