Ben McAdoo New OC

[philw5289]

At least he has experience benching franchise qbs that shouldn’t be benched. He’ll fit right in

Some interesting thoughts from the Cowboys board:

He seems to have been the primary candidate to replace Kellen Moore as their OC if Moore gets a HC job, so either that wasn't really the case, McAdoo didn't want to risk waiting and losing an offer in hand from Carolina, or Dallas is confident Moore is sticking around.

I mean, I get it; there's probably nothing short of firing Matt Rhule that will excite the fan base at the moment, but this doesn't mean McAdoo is automatically a bad hire. He's had some results as as an OC. I'm more interested in his philosophy (queue @Mr. Scot)!

Somebody did give evidence that he wasn't a fan of Sammy before Sammy became Sammy, so that speaks to some competence in QB evaluation (just to make you feel better).

You think we’ve gotten a fair eval of Sam with the O Line we have? He’s lucky he’s not dead

So what kinda program is this building? This obviously wasn't part of Rhules initial vision so what are they actually trying to work towards?

Woof.

The interview question from Rhule that sealed the deal for this hire:

Matt - What were your thoughts on us benching Cam Newton for Sam Darnold late in the year?

Ben - Genius.

Like I said before, I’m convinced everything since 2016 has just been a dream when I went into a coma right before Super Bowl 50 started.

The more that I think on this, the more that I like it because it means we will be going into the 2023 season with a brand new coaching staff and over $150M in cap space?

Did we do a second interview with McAdoo?

The only guys I remember hearing about getting second interviews were Scottie Montgomery and Jay Gruden.

I'm assuming that 2nd interview was today. "Don't let the guy leave" mentality.

According to rappaport.

this franchise is a dumpster fire. Thanks Dave.

Well, what can we do about it?  Maybe this will work out.  Maybe it will not.  All I can say is; Tepper you made your bed now you have to lay in it.  I'm just not looking forward to next year.

There are some fairly consistent issues that Sam has even when we were going 3-0. He tends to hang on to the ball and gets mixed up fairly easily by pre-snap disguises by the defense.

He's got an NFL arm and athletic ability but in regards to being a leader, having football smarts, and soft mentality he's lacking. Those aren't things that can be fixed overnight.

     Welcome aboard McAdoodoo. I think we can actually win the number one this season.  This guy shat on Sam so it's very possible he fed Rhule how to do QB another way. I'm still laughing, these people are fun in all the wrong ways.

Hindsight stuff but McAdoo was allegedly in love with Mahomes pre-2017 draft and "begged" Jerry Reese to trade up for him. Decent sign for his QB eval abilities.
