Thank you for being constructive and giving and actual opinion instead of “you’re stupid”. I’m glad we actually have people here willing to have an actual conversation.
You’re probably right on this. The front office (the entire Jones family) more than likely just has no fucking clue what they’re doing. Shit rolls downhill so therefore the coaches have no idea what they’re doing. Nolan is a MM crony so Jerry is just letting him stay on the staff because MM “owes it to Nolan” for whatever reason. Because of all that this team is in crash and burn mode. This is the most likely scenario for this season.
I just brought up the conspiracy theory again because of Jerry’s attitude toward this season. Again, he sounds almost giddy over it, not upset at all. Even when this team was at its worst in the past he always seemed extremely upset. That’s not the case this season. So that’s what makes me think something is up.

That MM "owes" Nolan and brought him on is no surprise. Garrett and Jerry have done it too but with them it was nepotism, from Jim Garrett on down to his kids. At least Nolan is a life long coach with some actual experience. Same with MM. For that reason alone, I give them a lot of latitude.
I firmly believe this is the players way of rebelling. No one is accountable so they blame the coaches. All the while we see their effort, or lack thereof, on the field. It's really embarrassing. Zeke got paid and he regressed. Lawrence got paid and he regressed. Crawford got paid and he regressed although he was never all that to begin with. I think they paid him as a gamble he was going to break out. Cooper also got paid and he regressed. The guy doesn't even run his routes. The Gimp got paid and he regressed, if there is/was such a thing. Collins got paid and couldn't stay in shape. Tell me ONE player that got paid that we can claim has earned his contract? Maybe an OL? Martin? Fred? Tyrone Smith?
Even the FA players we acquire fall into the rut that they see. That mind set is a cancer but worse because it's contagious. It spreads through and permeates the locker room. The bigger issue is that, after all these years, Jerry doesn't see it. Stephen may or may not see it but he won't pay anyone like the old man. Only a few types of coaches can overcome Jerry. Jimmy and Parcells come to mind. People were scared of these miserable fucks but they could coach. Only time will tell if MM is one of these coaches.
