Who else is gonna work for a meddling owner/GM that makes all the personnel decisions? I’m surprised he hasn’t named himself HC yet.

Let's face it, there's a lot of prestige in being the friggin' head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. That's going to be extremely attractive to a lot of coaches, regardless of Jerry Jones. Meyer was gushing about it and I think he meant it. Coaches are arrogant and they think they can work with Jones.
Besides, as I mentioned earlier, Jones is an old man (78). He could die any time, which is a very good thing. That would have to be in the back of any potential coach's mind.

Talk about a pressure job, Urban better stay in college. At least in college he can do 5 years at a job before it gets too much for him to handle. Don’t know if he could handle 5 games as Cowboys coach with Jones breathing down his neck the whole time.

There's less pressure than you might think. Jason Garrett has been a joke for 10 DAMN YEARS and he's still there. Where's the pressure?
I personally think there's significantly more pressure in college than the pros.

I’d love to see Meyer give it a shot...but he seems like a college guy to me. I think Lincoln Riley would be a good fit. I wanted Green Bay to go after him

I don't think Lincoln Riley has any intention of leaving Oklahoma. I've also always seen Meyer as a college guy but I would love to see if his mind games would work in the NFL.

Jones has one foot in the grave, he wants another title before he croaks. They'll be immense pressure to please him.

Jones has openly said this is the best roster he has had since the mid 90's (regardless if true or not) and in his opinion (the only one that matters) has extremely under achieved. When you combine that with Stephen Jones and Will McClay trying to put their stamp on the team, which through the draft they have draft very well. How could you not see the pressure. Garrett is on the last year of his deal, with a change in ownership vision and expectations on the rise. In my opinion he has lost his job outside if they make an extreme improbable Super Bowl appearance.

They won't win another game. Bank on it. I've seen this picture before when players quit on a coach.....you lose to teams like Georgia Southern.

I don't disagree, the game against the Bears showed it. Garrett lost the team, and they know he isn't the final word on the team.

Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder, for some reason, just haven't figured out they're the main reasons for their teams failures aside from the 3 Super Bowls for the past 25-30 years. Not just the coaches.

I didn't say there was no pressure, my point was there's a lot more pressure coaching at major college schools than the NFL. In the NFL, you can lose six games and still have what is considered a great season. There's no room for error anymore in college football.

I think the pressure comes from the fact that you have to be the difference. I'm not discounting the importance of having good coaching at the collegiate level, but as much as you may have high expectations at a high level job, there's generally a talent disparity in at least 50% of your games. So you go into half of your games at minimum with a better squad, knowing that even if the opponent keeps it close, your talent and depth will eventually win out. Coaches in the NFL don't have that. Teams aren't all equal, but it's a lot closer than college, which means it all falls on your shoulders, every week. So despite not having recruiting to do, they spend all offseason trying to scheme and design things to gain an advantage. Andy Reid used to spend days at a time in his office, sleeping on a couch and not even going home. In like May. It's not as taxing from a travel, visits, NSD standpoint. But I think it's equal or more pressure overall.

Exactly, College Coaches have to worry about recruiting... but in the NFL it's about scheming. The in game coaching in the NFL is much more important than in college. Take for example UF.... .there are 4 games a season where we are will play a team with equal or better talent than us (we should win every year). We are currently lucky that two of those programs have horrible in game coaching and roster management (FSU/Tennessee). So any coach that gets less than 9 wins it's a complete dumpster fire as a coach with the 12/13 game schedule. The difference in talent in the NFL (outside the NFC East dumpster fire) the difference in the haves and have not will be at a particular position but the overall talent level will be roughtly equal for all 16 games. Which puts a premium on in game coaching and roster management.
