Cowboys, head coach Mike McCarthy reportedly part ways after five seasons | FOX Sports
The Cowboys are moving on from Mike McCarthy. The two sides failed to come to terms on an agreement before his contract was set to expire.

Now this makes no sense to me for Johnson. The division is stacked, they have no QB and he is going to have to outcoach Reid, Payton, and Harbaugh. How do you turn down the Washington job a year earlier with a far superior owner and front office and then take the Raiders job.
I think this would be career suicide for Ben and he would be really stupid to take what I consider to be a really bad job.
He won't last two full seasons with the Jets.AG as good as gone
Ben Johnson should be put away and his mental state questioned if he takes the Raiders job.
I follow these coaching searches every cycle and I've never seen a more pitiful list of candidates than I do for this Jets job and if thats not bad enough they are actually paying a search firm to come up with these losers.
The Jets job is the worst but I agree with you that the Saints front office is a problem. Its pretty funny that these teams are fighting over Aaron Glenn and I think whoever "misses out" will ultimately be better off.At this point for the Saints the front office is kinda the problem. Just pray they get lucky. It’s gotta be the worst of the jobs….not for the coach per se it’s just gonna be a tough build.

I've gotten on board with this line of thinkingI feel like it’s by far the best job available. Zero expectations. Assume tons of cap space coming and complete say in how the roster turns over and changes. Tank for Manning. Probably 3 year leash to begin even trying to compete.

Jets hired Mike Tannenbaum to find this group. Let’s take a failed GM that no one in the league will hire for their front office, and hire him to fill our front office. Brilliant.With Flores the Jets would get the added bonus of Ryan Grigson as GM. The fact that the Jets actually hired people to find them these losers tells you that the team should be forcibly removed from Woody Johnson. The Jets only hope is a Daniel Snyder like scandal.
The division is hard, no doubt...He won't go to a cold weather area. I've maintained that since the start. A dome or warm weather guy unless the Chiefs job opened.
121 million in cap space. 4 of the top 75 draft picks next year with his GM and probably trade for Hendon Hooker. Not a bad start. See what you got with Hooker or tank. Bowers will probably be the best tight end in the NFL in the next year or two regardless of QB. That's a big luxury for any QB. I'm sure Brady has given him assurances.
It is a division with super bowl coaches but Reid has what..2 years max left? Who knows with Harbaugh and Payton. Should be interesting.
I don't see how the Raiders ever compete in that division. Ok Ben Johnson doesn't want to coach games in cold weather; ridiculous excuse but whatever. I still say the Washington job that he turned down was great in every way possible and turning that down to coach in a brutally hard division with no QB is a mistake but good luck to him.The division is hard, no doubt...
That being said, KC will slow up a bit. They are the consumate franchise right now but the best years have come and gone. I'm not saying they aren't a SB contender coming up, just that we'll see more seasons like this one (which was truly a 6-7 loss season over the course of time).
Payton has done a wonderful job. I'd expect they continue to climb.
Same with San Diego.
The Raiders setup is nice except for the division. They need to be patient too and realize the next 2 years are throwaways.
I'm not sure if that's actually his mantra (the cold weather) or not.I don't see how the Raiders ever compete in that division.

Lions fans have had a love and hate relationship with AG for three years now.My question for Lions fans is when did Aaron Glenn get this reputation as some defensive genius cause all I see is a below average coordinator that has no business landing any head coaching job.
Jacksonville basically said that the coach can make an argument to dump Baalke and he would do it. That's the job he should take this cycle; the division is winnable in year one and Lawrence should have some appeal to an offensive guy like Johnson.I'm not sure if that's actually his mantra (the cold weather) or not.
I know Hunt feels that way or knows that.
Ben definitely about having his GM though. So, with any of these searches remember that GM and Ownership is SOOOOO big.
Was that a brilliant job last week or is Darnold just a choker in big games. Yeah I know exactly how this league works but lets just say the Jets have played ball time and time again with Saleh, Bowles, and Herm before that.Lions fans have had a love and hate relationship with AG for three years now.
Two years ago after the Halloween weekend loss to Miami moved us to 1-7 many wanted a change.
Now, think about the start of this year when he had a healthy bunch how good that defense was? You can take away Seattle game because that's just how that matchup goes for some reason.
Brilliant job last week as well.
I have honestly zero opinion on his status as a possible HC. I'd assume average at best though.
You know how this league works Brew....

I'm in shock how Jets fans have convinced themselves that Glenn is a great hire and are especially excited that he was a former player with this loser franchise. You would think the guy had the cache of Joe Namath or something.
Anyway whats done is done and I will be all over the Jets under win total next season if its at a somewhat reasonable level.
Lets set the Aaron Glenn two year win total as Jets coach at 8 and I will take the under. This guy is incredibly a big downgrade from Saleh and while I never have high expectations for the Jets he is literally the worst case scenario hire.Darnold can't choke if that gameplan wasn't drawn up.
Bottom line.
AG was brilliant last week. He knew how to get that offense rattled.
Rolled the dice and cut the snake off at the head.

There's a lot about the AFC West that is on the decline since this whole thing is projection
KC in general have peaked, and incredibly so. But age and lack of desire sets in when you're successful. That's not disputable.
Patyon has made a ton of mistakes this season. He won a Super Bowl....cool but so did Fat Mike. If that scares you, you aren't HC material in the first place. Denver looks promising and Nix is in overperform mode after this season but nothing I'm getting too worked up about.
LAC, while according to Ivy they will likely be LA's team in two years, still has a situation. They have a top 5 QB in the NFL and a coach that doesn't use that the way top 5 QBs tend to like to be used.
Why would that division scare someone like Ben Johnson away other than away games at Denver and KC, one of which would likely be early in the season?
I get what you are saying but Washington now has a good owner and he would have had Jayden Daniels. Unless he wasn't high on Daniels which is possible that was the spot though I agree I'd rather be in Vegas than Virginia or wherever the Redskins play.It's his preference. Some coaches don't want to be in the cold with a shitty organization. He's a an atlantic coast/south east guy. Now if Buffalo/Baltimore/KC is calling with those proven QBS that's a whole different story.
Yeah I keep hearing this culture change bullshit but it won't make a difference when you continue to have a bottom five offense in the league as has been the case most of this century.It's essentially the same hire. I think the Jets are looking for a culture change, Sean Payton and staff started it all with the Lions guys.
Idk conference has mahomes Allen Jackson burrow in their prime. If sb is goal tough nut to crack. Bowers and Crosby are complete studs but otherwise not a great roster. Reading Hooker comes with him but not sure that big a deal. Agree expectations very low. If Brady is as bad at evaluating talent as he is in booth he's a nothing burger for this. Still don't get not taking Washington job but probably was money. But again AFC just has the best qb now.The division is hard, no doubt...

True. Great discipline if so. I think Jags a bad situation too. Saw a post a few months ago. Did u know Lawrence career stats almost identical to Daniel Jones yet look how each one is viewed. Shit Lawrence has stadium named after him. But another low expectation gig. $60m or more guaranteed doesn't really matter i guess though i know most want to win.Possibly...I still think Jags not out of this. Ben wants it all perfect and how can you blame him? He wants his GM and a fuck ton of money. Maybe he just simply wasn't ready to be a HC last year. People forget he's only been calling plays 3 years including this year.
I still have no clue how good or bad Lawrence is because he's never been surrounded by competency anywhere. Line, coaching, weapons, etc. I at least saw how bad Daniel Dimes was when he had time to make decisions and it was very evident he was poor at that. All it took was a little bit of time a competency at coach to make Bryce Young a very capable NFL QB and we had all thrown him out to the wolves.True. Great discipline if so.

I think Lawrence has digressed since leading the comeback vs Chargers. I think the talent and coaching has been bad on both teams. I just think it's NYC expectations vs Jacksonville. Lawrence lucky he ended up in Jacksonville. If he gets Johnson he'll have alot more pressure. Dont look now but if McCarthy falters or gets hurt I think Vikes will go with Jones. That would be interesting.I still have no clue how good or bad Lawrence is because he's never been surrounded by competency anywhere.

I simply don't know how you can compare a dude that had no offensive coaching/WR/anything to a guy that had Saquon/OBJ/Nabers and remotely make that comparison. It's literally like a rotten apple v an elegant orange. Granted I haven't done fantasy for years and don't watch virtually any part of Jacksonville football if I can avoid it....line is all time terrible. But That Duke twat at least had a million weapons and failed. Maybe Thomas is the guy they need at #2.. If you need to compare those two you're just bored.I think Lawrence has digressed since leading the comeback vs Chargers. I think the talent and coaching has been bad on both teams.

They are clearly waiting for the MNC game to finish. You know where I'm going here.The Bears have no plan whatsoever. Interviewing everyone under the sun and inquired about a trade for Tomlin.

I honestly think the dude has never remotely had a chance to succeed and if you're a smart agent, you need him in a two year/no questions start which sucks at his age. The hope is he hasn't been ruined.I don't think either is good right now, just like Trevor's ceiling more than Dimes.
Have they interviewed Mike Locksley yet because that interview has all others beat in terms of sheer stupidity.The Bears have no plan whatsoever. Interviewing everyone under the sun and inquired about a trade for Tomlin.
So watching this first half, who would you rather have … Glenn or Ben?Have they interviewed Mike Locksley yet because that interview has all others beat in terms of sheer stupidity.
Ben wisely wants nothing to do with the Jets but I’d rather contract the franchise than hire Glenn.So watching this first half, who would you rather have … Glenn or Ben?
