Arthur Blank must not have been overly impressed with Mike McCarthy since he chose to stick with DQ.

[Falcons Fan MVP 2,613]

If Arthur Blank and his hiring firm was overly impressed with Mike McCarthy or anyone else they probably would have made the change after missing the playoffs 2 years in a row even though DQ has built a good culture in the locker room. I'm sure Blank took a very close look at McCarthy (who he knew would be available) when we were 1-7 and 3-9.

The decision to keep Quinn didn’t have a **** thing to do with overrated Mike McCarthy. Can we stop now that he is Jurry’s new puppet and Q is staying?

Can Christmas come REALLY early this year in the form of another pinned thread??

Impressed, or not, it's a moot point now....we have DQ and Jurry has McCarthy.  

Let it be written....so let it be done!

Quinn being retained had nothing to with McCarthy, or any other coach besides Quinn and the second half performance of the team. 

[HouseofEuphoria 3,488]

McCarthy got all emotional in the video of his potential return to coaching. 

Personally, I'd like a guy with a little more intestinal fortitude.

That being said, i think he's what Dallas needs.

he might be just what Dallas need and Mike Nolan will be their DC.

So Dallas is going back to a 3-4

[CrimsonFalcon 3,704]

Didn't hire a firm to look for a new coach this time... he knew all along that he was keeping Quinn.

 

Now if he hires a firm to look for new fans that might be interesting

Considering we have to go play at Dallas next year, i'll definitely be keeping up with them.

I wouldn't be surprised if to see a Falcons vs Cowboys playoffs game. Both teams will have a good chance to win their division next year.

It may take McCarthy a few games to get everything aligned, but he'll definitely bring some better coaching to that team. Division title is not out of the question.

Cowboys? Playoffs? LOL

[octoslash 14,896]

 Mike McCarthy is a little bit better than Jason Garrett, but that's not what Dallas needs.

Anybody who thinks this is a great hire that's going to put Dallas in the Super Bowl is nuts.

If McCarthy told Blank Nolan was going to be the DC that's a big reason not to hire him. We've already dabbled in bringing back ex coordinators and it hasn't worked out for us yet.

Not necessarily.

 

Nolan has experience in a 4-3 as well.

 

I honestly believe that moving to a 3-4 wouldn't fit their current d-line. Although they'll spend more time in nickel. DeMarcus Lawrence and Robert Quinn(if he returns to Dallas next season) are better suited as 4-3 ends.

I like that a superbowl winning coach can be overrated.

With Lee VanderEsch inside lb

Smith and fa/draft olb

Do you know what a 3-4 is?

Smith is not a 3-4 OLB and Lawrence/Quinn arent 3-4 ends. Especially Quinn.

They could be if that's what Dallas wanted to do this is Dallas we are talking about.
