The Dallas Cowboys have climbed on board the pinnacle coach carousel, letting Mike McCarthy’s contract finish like a Dak Prescott slide. Right here at BGN we would like two issues in life: to see the Eagles succeed, and to see the Cowboys fail. However iron sharpens iron (not a factual assertion), having a aggressive NFC East is an effective for the Eagles, it forces them to not be complacent. So I’m going to be magnanimous and assist the Cowboys of their head coach search. Bringing in outsiders to seek the advice of on high degree hires isn’t out of the peculiar within the NFL, and I’m accessible and inexpensive.
Those that ignore historical past are doomed to repeat it. The Jerry Jones period has had its share of highs and lows, historical past tells us that the highs will be repeated and the lows averted in the event that they persist with a method that has labored for them. What the Cowboys want is a winner. The pinnacle coaches of the Jerry Jones period make that clear.
Jimmy Johnson gained a nationwide championship with the College of Miami. Winner. He in fact gained two Tremendous Bowls with the Cowboys.
Barry Switzer gained three nationwide championships on the College of Oklahoma. Winner. He too gained a Tremendous Bowl with the Cowboys.
Chan Gailey gained a Division II championship with Troy State. Winner. He’s the one head coach in Cowboys historical past to by no means miss the playoffs, and the one head coach in Cowboys historical past to by no means have a dropping report.
Dave Campo had by no means been a head coach when the Cowboys employed him. Not a winner. He went 5-11 in every of his three seasons and is the one coach in Cowboys historical past to have a dropping report for his or her Cowboys profession.
Invoice Parcells gained two Tremendous Bowls with the Giants. Winner. The Cowboys went to the playoffs in his first season, and he had three profitable seasons in 4 years, bringing the Cowboys out of the darkish days of the Campo period.
Wade Phillips failed as Broncos head coach and as Payments head coach. Not a winner. He was fired halfway via his fourth season.
Jason Garrett had by no means been a head coach. Not a winner. In 9 full seasons Garrett missed the playoffs six occasions.
Mike McCarthy gained a Tremendous Bowl with the Packers. Winner. McCarthy is the one coach in Cowboys historical past to win 12 video games in three straight seasons.
Not each coach who confirmed as much as Dallas already a winner had nice success with the Cowboys, however crucially each coach who confirmed up not already a winner had no actual success.
The Cowboys must have a coach who already has a championship ring, they will’t threat hiring an up and coming assistant like Ben Johnson. On this period of the NFL it could assist if that coach has been on the forefront of offensive innovation. They usually want a head coach who will hold them as a focus for speaking head exhibits, as a result of for Jerry Jones any consideration is nice consideration.
The Cowboys ought to rent City Meyer.
