As for would he be a good bridge HC... 4 or 5 years ago, I'd have said possibly for a dysfunctional franchise that needed an adult in the room. There was certainly a time when I thought the Bears made some sense. But not now. He is 65. I think his time has passed. Expand I think the age isn't so much a factor. Andy Reid is 66. John Harbaugh is 61. Pete Carroll is in his 70s and getting some interest. Dallas just moved in from McCarthy who is 60 himself as is Todd Bowles, Jim Harbaugh and Sean Payton. Aside from McCarthy and obviously Carroll, every other coach 60 or older got his team to the playoffs this year. There's something to be said for experience. And relating to players, which according to the Bills that played for him, Frazier seems to still do well. I agree, Frazier can be a steady coach for a team that needs stability. The Raiders for instance would make a bit of sense to me. The Jets would make some sense to me. 1 Quote

If you were a coach working your way up through the system and you have moved your family from city to city.....and you are still fighting to get through.....and then Jerry Jones hires Jason Witten as the Head Coach. Other coaches would be livid if that happens. Not that The Jones family cares but it really is a slap in the face to the profession that a guy like witten could even get consideration. Jerry did the same thing with Jason Garrett in 07. He was upset he let Sean Payton go and was looking for a guy he could say was his payton and it was garrett. Now he has two guys he is doing it again with, Jason Witten and Kellen Moore. Jerry wanted Witten on McCarthy's staff the first year and McCarthy said no. Jerry gave him the benefit of the doubt at the time but he won't do that going forward. Dallas is going to hire someone that Dak wants offensively and someone who will bring witten aboard. They probably hire Kellen Moore dak's buddy who apparently was so fed up with McCarthy offering his opinions on offense that he couldn't wait to get out. The kicker is Dallas has had a lot of former cowboys and nfl players on recent staffs and none are being considered. If you are one of those guys you must be shaking your head. Either way nothing is changing in Dallas anytime soon. Expand They could do worse than Moore. Probably could do better too, but I think he'd be at least a credible hire.

Expand I like Leslie Frazier but this appears to more of a Rooney rule interview. Jerry Jones is a businessman and he knows he can’t sell hope with Frazier as head coach. Plus I don’t feel Dallas is a very good situation. Looking back, it’s a shame Houston hired David Culley over Frazier. But considering Culley and Lovie Smith were patsies set up to fail, I’m glad he didn’t coach there. On 1/16/2025 at 5:51 PM, klos63 said: Did Deion interview or just discuss with Dallas? Expand He released a statement publicly statement, making it sound like he wants to at Colorado without using those words. So my guess is that he’s interested. “I love Jerry and believe in Jerry. After you hang up, and process it, and think about it, it’s intriguing. But I love Boulder and everything there is about our team, the coaches, our student body and the community.” According to what I’ve read, he has not interviewed formally but both parties seem to be interested 1 Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 16 Posted January 16 He’s the type of personality Jerry Jones wants. Quote

Expand Just picture how many veins would blow out of JJ head, as he's screaming at Frazier about such a soft Defense, and how Dak becomes enamored with Checkdown after Checkdown, and the only reaction he is getting back is that blank, emotionless stare and no body motion. That would be priceless to watch. Might be gone faster than Mayo in NE. Quote
