I guess the legacy angle makes sense, but that certainly wouldn't be my decision in his shoes. 

 

If he does go back into coaching my guess is Dallas. The Cowboys have some talent, and he probably thinks he could win there sooner than later. I don't see him signing up for a rebuild at his age by going to the Jets or Giants where it will take some time to turn it around.

Is it a coincidence that every coach on that list, outside of Landry a million years ago, had either the best or second best QB in the NFL?

Staubach was top-tier

BB and JJ would NEVER work.

No it is not

Both have egos the size of Texas. Jerry is getting up there and wants to win one more while he still has time. Maybe would do his best to try and make it work. I think McCarthy is definitely getting fired so the Cowboys will be looking for a new HC.

Not to be a hater or anything (I’m in the camp that says any replacement will be worse), but his 11th win last year came in week 18. The rest of those guys did it with a 16-game season (or less).

I was going to say this. I'm a big McDermott supporter, but the 17 game schedule makes that a tad easier.

 

I wish the NFL would have stuck with 16 games and not added more playoff teams. That was the perfect format.

The single bye for the top seed is a special kind of bull#### IMO.

 

The Patriots had a bye as the #2 seed four times during their run before the second bye was taken away.

praised yet ridiculed by fans. you can post all the success he has had and it will still come down to winning in the playoffs and advancing to the sb. if he doesn't do that for some, he and all his success will go along the wayside.

That's a remarkable accomplishment. CRAZY really. 

It's almost mathematically impossible for this team to NOT make a Superbowl, and SOON. 

I see a different TEAM this year, and I think they're going all the way. 

Not true. Even the best teams in the NFL only have a small chance of getting to and winning a superbowl. That's just how it is. You get into the playoffs and you try to go on a run. You need a little luck, too.

 

Nobody should ever expect a superbowl because superbowls are not ever likely. Hoping for one makes sense. Believing that you have a shot at it because of the team, the QB, etc. makes sense. But expecting one is never wise.

I’ve been critical of McD in the past, but there’s no disputing his regular season success. A ton of luck goes into reaching, let alone winning a Super Bowl, but championships are how these guys are typically judged. I hope he gets the breaks and finally gets his.

My prediction is you won’t get a straight answer. Usually it is something like “an offensive minded coach” or some garbage non-answer like that.

More impressed with Tom Landry now.

 

Most of the really good teams - Miami, Pittsburgh, Oakland - were in the AFC during that run (1976-1980).  Only the Rams were comparable to the Cowboys over that stretch in the NFC until the Eagles emerged in 1980.  By contrast, McDermott has been in the better conference pretty much his entire run IMO.

I think this is a pretty jaw-dropping statistic.

I'd love to know who people think would walk through the door and be an upgrade over this...
 

 

 

Jeff Fisher, obviously.

Yeah, he did it in an era when there was only 14 games for most of his career, although the final couple of years it switched to 16.

He's had success in the playoffs too, though. The Bills have won at least one playoff game every year for the past handful of years. Only the Chiefs and the Bills have done that.
