I don't want Payton unless we're rebuilding. This team is where it is at the key positions. No HC is going to get more out of Dak or help him develop in year 7. If this was Daks first couple of years, I'm all over a guy like Payton to either help Dak develop or know it's a losing game and move on.
But MM isn't going anywhere after back to back 12 win seasons, regardless of what happens in the playoffs. And even if he does go, who do you promote? Do we keep Quinn and KM? Do one of those guys get elevated to the HC position?
None of those options are appealing to me.
I'm really getting worried about you Amigo.
I'm sure Johnny Walker GM and Spawn read your words and can breath easy knowing people are satisfied with some regular season wins and no postseason success. I can just see Spawn saying "see Dad, everything is fine if we just get into the playoffs"
Based on what we have seen the last 6 weeks or so if we fail in the postseason again I'm all for burning down the coaching staff (only guy I'd like to see us keep is Fassel). You make a good point about Dak probably being all that he is ever going to be and is not going to develop much more, but you also have to start thinking about the future too. Just because Dak doesn't benefit from a new coach doesn't mean a young guy they draft wouldn't, and I could definitely see them taking a QB this year or next.
That said I do think Prescott, as well as the rest of this team could greatly benefit from a different style of HC. This franchise needs a hardass attitude from there.
