We might get a break if Seattle makes a play for Vrabel instead of Quinn.

Quinn has close ties with Pete Carroll and their GM. I think unless he tells teams he doesn't want to leave again, he's going to get that gig if he wants it.

I agree

It wouldn’t surprise me if he is announced as the new HC before we make it to the NFC Championship game

Which sucks, because I don’t want any type of distraction for the team. With how much everyone loves DQ on the defense it would be a distraction.

I have always thought that all teams should have to wait until after the SB before requesting permission to interview currently employed coaches

Yeah I've never understood why the league allows this. Make it fair for everyone involved (all the coaches being interviewed or needing new jobs elsewhere, plus the teams still in the playoffs those coaches work for) and just make a rule that says new coaches can't be interviewed or hired until the season is completely over (after the Super Bowl). If everyone starts the same day, I don't see how that wouldnt be the most fair and something that all teams and the league office should support.

Flat embarrassing …. No excuses. McCarthy will be fired and Our”Franchise QB” will get a record contract and Jerry will go to his grave without a championship and ridding himself of the ghost of Jimmy Johnson! Go Texans!

Not convinced Dakota is getting his extension now. He's had too many of these type games.

If we don’t extend him he will make $59M next season with a no trade clause

We don’t have much of a choice

Post June 1 release is a possibility.

That said, if he were somehow cut prior to June 1 you're creating a huge 1 time cap hit, but then its done. You also save the 29 mils in salary he is scheduled to make.

Most likely he gets another yr here but I guess it depends on what they do ultimately with McCarthy and a new HC.

For what it’s worth, Prescott gave McCarthy a vote of confidence.

“He’s been amazing,” Prescott said. “I don’t know [McCarthy’s future] can be [in doubt], but I understand the business. In that case, it should be about me as well, honestly. That guy, I’ve had the season I’ve had because of him. This team has had the success they’ve had because of him. I understand it’s about winning the Super Bowl, and that’s the standard of the league and damn sure should be the standard of this place. I get it, but add me to the list in that case.”

Well if one takes Jerry at his word (and more often than not, he actually tells the truth about stuff) then it seems like a foregone conclusion that McCarthy is going to get fired.

Last week after the really nice win in Washington to 1) win 12th game 2) win NFC East and 3) get #2 seed, Jerry told people after the game he didnt want to talk about coaching contract extensions until after he saw how the postseason played out. He was admitting the coaches fate was probably tied to postseason success.

The game was laughably uncompetitive. The team was uninspired and unprepared.

Then from the memory banks, Jerry was furious after they lost to SF after the 2021 season and by many accounts, had to be talked out of firing McCarthy after that game by Spawn.

The Packers took a big cap hit when they traded Rodgers and made the playoffs anyway. Of course, they also had a great draft whereas we whiffed completely.
