Cowboys Hire Mike McCarthy

[Joemailman]

Fosco is right. Packers coach of 13 years deserves his own thread.

This will be a different situation for McCarthy. With Ted Thompson's aversion to public appearances, McCarthy was the face of the franchise when it came to talking about player personnel matters. Now he'll be able to stay in the background more and just be a coach.

Last year everybody was hiring the young offensive geniuses at HC. This year it's been Ron Rivera and Mike McCarthy, 2 guys with a combined 22 years of NFL head coaching experience.

M4 might never have to step to the podium again.

Good Luck Stubby...Prove us wrong and show us you can Coach. Hope that Texas BBQ sauce doesn't make your playbook unreadable on Sunday Afternoons.

[George Cumby]

This is gonna be interesting.

Super talented roster.

Jerrah.

Locker room issues?

A real litmus test for M3.

I always thought his strength as a coach was his leadership skills. We will see if that pans out.

Hope the bbq sauce does not make him fat.

Now why would you think that?

It will be interesting. My first and amateur impression is that it may not be the best fit. We know MM's aversion to committing to the run, yet his best talent on offense is at running back. He's got a slightly-above average QB.

Wonder who he'll hire as DC. I feel like it's Mike cut loose to do what he wants. Will be interesting.

He was pretty good about feeding Lacy. With a good O line and back likely to get him results, I think that part will fit. Pass offense will be more interesting.

[Zool]

He was always right around league average in attempts per game. Remember AA had free reign to change the call at the line.

[Mayhem]

Looks like it going to Mike Nolan as DC.

What's with all the food references in this thread.....?

I don't know. I just know after getting fired last year, McCarthy will be hungry to prove his doubters wrong. Being unceremoniously dumped like that had to be hard to stomach.

Wait until you see his first cram session.

Its a lot to digest, but McCarthy has prepared for this his whole life.

He is going to dine out on this hiring for months. Puts a feather in his cap and calls it macaroni.

I feel an Andrew Brandt column about McCarthy/Favre/Rodgers is forthcoming. Any minute now.
