Conn Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) 9 minutes ago, BurgundyBooger said: Belichick would never go to Dallas. He turned down the Jets to go to New England for the same reason he's going to avoid the Cowboys, namely ownership issues. He needs 20+ wins to become the winningest HC before he retires. His standards may relax a bit to take over a talented team that can coast to 10+ wins per season and a playoff berth with the right defensive coaching. It has been reported he’s developed a decent relationship with both Jerry and Stephen Jones over the years. I’m not afraid of him landing there, but just from the perspective of legacy I can see the appeal. I think he’ll have a hard time convincing that locker room of his Patriot Way culture though, given the Cowboys manage to craft their own weird identity despite no playoff success. Jerry manages to bluff that team into thinking it’s a prestige destination and builds an arrogant culture despite having nothing to show for it for decades. That may be tough to contend with, if you’re Belichick and trying to change how they operate. Whether he’s washed or not as a coach.

DWinzit Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I want Dallas to keep McCarthy. He has been a great replacement for Garrett. If they were to fire him, Belichick would be a great replacement. That whole Patriot Way he created that @Connbrings up, would fail miserably, love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he intends to implement a different offense or bring in McDaniels, not sure if coasting to 10+ wins would be a given. How will Dak/Lamb respond? Will they struggle under a new philosophy? The way I see it, for Dallas to keep getting their 12-13 wins regardless of coaching changes they'd have to maintain continuity on the offensive side of the ball, which means running a similar or compatible scheme to what they're already using and I'm not sure Belichick goes for that.

The Rooney Rule | NFL Football Operations The same link says the following Quote In 2021, the NFL approved changes requiring every team to interview at least two external minority candidates for open head coaching positions and at least one external minority candidate for a coordinator job. Additionally, at least one minority and/or female candidate must be interviewed for senior level positions (e.g., club president and senior executives). The portion you cited sounds like recommendation by the diversity committee that is still under consideration (I guess requiring in person interview with at least one external minority candidate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philibusters Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I think Belichick could be a good coach for the Cowboys, but my confidence level is not high. If he took the opportunity to get a fresh start and hire an OC that has not traditionally been a part of his staff with the Patriots and gave up player personnel control, I think he could do just fine. Despite a lot of injuries at pivotal positions, that defense in New England was still in the top third of the league and they lost their top 2 corners and top pass rusher for the season fairly early in the season. But that was the worst offense in the NFL. It was bad because it had bad schemes AND bad player personnel. I feel like Dan Quinn is a good DC, but Belichick is better, particularly against top offenses. So I could see Belichick being a decent short term fit for the Cowboys, I just don't have a high confidence level in that take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjinhan Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I am now way overthinking it and perhaps going down a rabbit hole... If we go in the way of Mike Macdonald (Ravens DC), I wouldn't hate the scenario in which Mike bring in Greg Roman as OC. Trade for Fields and keep Howell as backup. Trade #2 pick for bunch of picks. I am not convinced that Caleb Williams or Drake Maye are guarantee to work out here in Washington. As much as I would love Ben Johnson or Slowik here for the new hot trendy offense system with young QB, I think this is much higher risky proposition than going in the route of Greg Roman and Justin Fields.

NickyJ Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I'll give you credit, if we got Greg Roman as our OC, we'd never have to worry about teams trying to poach our OC to be their head coach. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profusion Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I don't get the impression that Josh is looking to get cute with off-the-wall personnel choices. It may be that someone blows the advisory committee away during interviews and vaults themselves to the top of the list, but I doubt there'll be a strategy of being tricky with this hire. It's a franchise-defining hire for Josh (and Adam), so it's not the time to be too clever by half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJ Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Adam Peters could go DC for HC but he's a former TE and with us having a DC minded HC and in need of a QB and sitting at #2 to take one, it really makes the most sense to go OC for HC. Let's see though because none of us know Adam Peters yet and how he will operate with this team yet. Exciting times. Yes? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdaddy Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Question for the ranks: Can we hire Ben Johnson or Slowik before their teams have been eliminated or does the announcement of that have to wait until their team is eliminated? I assume it's gonna be pretty competitive for some of these guys services. 3 minutes ago, kingdaddy said: Question for the ranks: Can we hire Ben Johnson or Slowik before their teams have been eliminated or does the announcement of that have to wait until their team is eliminated? I assume it's gonna be pretty competitive for some of these guys services. Additionally, no contract, contract announcement or contract agreement is permitted until after the end of the employer team’s season. I just got the answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdaddy Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 This is great; there is a lot of talk today in Philly that the Eagles are interested in making Ron Rivera their DC, in part, so that if they do have to fire Sirianni mid-season next year they'll have a secure voice to step in as interim head coach. Many fans are calling in saying they want RR and that they like his style. Didn't know where to put this so I put it in the coaching thread. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
