    This should keep MM busy enough that he won't get into trouble harassing high school refs.

    Also this ends any speculation of MM poaching Packers front office personnel.

      Yeah, it'll be interesting all right. As I have said, as a fan - second to the Packers - of the Cowboys, I would have preferred they not hire McCarthy. I have to think Jerry Jones, rightly or wrongly, figures he will still be the boss, and McCarthy, while a good football mind and teacher, will be fairly compliant when it comes right down to it.

      Is McCarthy averse to running the ball a lot? Who knows. He didn't have a decent O Line in Green Bay; He probably will have in Dallas. He had a GOAT QB in Green Bay; He will have a very good QB, but not quite as good in Dallas - assuming they re-sign Dak.

      I never hated McCarthy or wanted him fired. I just thought he was kinda mediocre, and the success the Packers had under him was a. not his doing and b. not maximized - which maybe he does get the blame for a little bit, although Ted Thompson is the main culprit in the Packers not winning more championships under McCarthy.

      So unlike ya'all Cowboy haters, I will be cheering for them/him - as long as they aren't playing the Packers.
      What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

        Welcome Mayhem.

        Mike does value familiarity with his coaches.

        While the killers in high places
        Say their prayers out loud
        But they've summoned, they've summoned up
        A thundercloud

            Wow. So Haslett doesn't get the call?

            I was certain the McCarthy project was going to get all three (Cignetti, Haslett and McCurley) new Cowboys jobs/swag.
            Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

              Have Cowboys fans realized what Nolan and McCarthy accomplished the last time they were together?

                Yes, I imagine he has a real fire in his belly after being dumped. But then again, the Packers brass had a gutfull of M3's stomach churning playoff losses.

                I find it surprising he was handed that job on a sliver platter.

                    Congrats to M3. He will do well there IMO.

                          Not where I thought he'd land. A month ago I would've put my money on Cleveland but I think Dorsey's departure killed that.

                          I think he'll do well in Dallas. Hard to bring myself to wish him luck there though...

                            Yeah, me too.

                            Haslett might get tabbed to coach LB's.

                            Beats no job, ya know?

                              Maybe on Tuesdays he can taco bout the menu for success.

                                Spinning back to Cleveland, Mike McCarthy was hired in Green Bay when the Browns coach was Romeo Crennel, seven head coaches ago! Browns owner Jimmy Haslam had a coach, Rob Chudzinski in 2013, who lasted one year. Haslam goes through coaching and front office personnel the way Pete Carroll goes through Chiclets. And, of course, how have the Browns stabilized their front office? By hiring a triumvirate that worked together in Green Bay: John Dorsey, Alonzo Highsmith and Eliot Wolf. And that group will certainly give strong consideration as their next head coach to, yes, Mike McCarthy.
                                A Browns Joke and a Pete Carroll joke all in one. Fantastic!!
