David Moore on The Ticket just said Deion is definitely Jerry's preferred hire for HC. Also noted Deion will be here all next week for the East-West Shrine all star game on 1/30. (the game itself is at AT&T and his QB kid is playing in it)
Moore also dropped this nugget, that Mike Vrabel's preferred destination as HC was Dallas and that's why Kraft & New England moved so fast to get him signed.

i think moore dropped a nugget of dogshit because i dont believe vrabel wanted to be in dallas at all
i think new england was always his destination
i think brady and the raiders were the dark horse team that was hot and heavy for vrabel but ultimately i think vrabel wanted to be in new england and was going to go there no matter what

Before any of these hiring processes Jane Slater had previously said Vrabel asked her to set up an intro to Jerry for him.
Moore's usually pretty solid so if he's putting something like that out there it's probably got some truth behind it.

Just say no to the guy who proved he couldn't get us over the hump in 5 yrs.
He was stupid. If hiring Witten is truly what he didnt like because he thought he had another job in the bag, then fuck him.
The weird thing is they were reportedly going to need another TE coach anyway because they were seriously consider a new (and improved) role for Lunda Wells.

If true, he has no idea how big of a bullet he dodged!

Jerruh got caught with his pants down because he never gave it not one single thought that Fat Mike wouldn't just kiss his ass. So he was completely unprepared for a HC search. Just like his teams are always unprepared for post season play

He said he wanted Fat Mike back. Fat Mike said he wanted to be back.
From the reports of many, Fat Mike balked at Jason Witten getting an assistant coaching job. Fat Mike assumed he had other jobs in the bag, so bailed.
He overplayed his hand it appears.

He put his house on the market after Jerruh declined to extend his contact. You don't do that if you intend to stay. Fat Mike was one of the lowest paid coaches at 4mil/year. New agent wasn't having it and yeah, I'm sure that's the same guy who convinced Fat Mike there'd be a clamoring market for him. Making the grand total two on earth who thought that. Well, three counting Cowherd.

He supposedly had a 2nd house in Dallas, you know that right? He put up that house for sale during the NFL season, not after.
Jerry never declined to extend his contract. He let the one he had play out and before the end date they tried to negotiate a new deal.
Fat Mike was not one of the lowest paid coaches either. He signed his contract in 2020 and at the time the deal put him well in the upper half of the league for coaches contracts. According to this article McCarthy averaged 8 million per yr under his 5yr contract. We dont know how much of that is salary and how much is/was incentives, but this was written 1/13/25 when they would have been able to see total compensation numbers. Coaches salaries are not publicized like players salaries and contract details.
ESPN's Todd Archer reported McCarthy's contract averaged $8 million a year.
Whereas every fan knows what NFL players earn, there isn't as much transparency with coach salaries. Based on the available data, $8 million would put McCarthy in the middle of the pack.
Sportico's Kurt Badenhausen reported in October that at least 10 head coaches were getting $9 million or more annually. The Los Angeles Chargers are paying Jim Harbaugh twice as much ($16 million) as the Cowboys did with McCarthy, and even Seattle Seahawks first-year head coach Mike Macdonald managed to land a deal worth $9 million a year, per Badenhausen.
He did nothing to warrant getting a new contract and he certainly didnt warrant MORE money. He accomplished nothing here unless you count daily calorie intake as a positive. The mistake wasn't not paying McCarthy more or failing to extend him, the mistake was made the day after that Green Bay debacle when it was grossly apparent to everyone that he was never going to be capable of getting the team over the hump. He should have been fired.

Are Dallas fans that fucking dumb? Don't these idiots realize that it's not a timing issue? Vrabel, BB, Harbaugh or any other good coach never had a shot here. Not a chance. And I'd bet some of these coaches don't want to come here with guarantees regarding staff and personnel. And Jerry and Spawn would never go for that.
