Urban to Cowboys?
- Thread starter Mr. Potter
- Start date
I did hear on the radio this morning that he said if the Cowboys wanted him, he would do it. That pesky health problem that only pops up when he needs to bail out of a trouble situation.
I hate remakes its already been done, Urban Cowboy....
If Urban thought he worked hard in Columbus or Gainesville, he hasn’t seen anything like an NFL grind.
He’s a great coach, but I struggle to see how he has the desire to make that jump at this point in his career.

IIRC they have a prohibition relative to the players and the cheerleaders, I wonder about the coaches??I'm sure that pesky "health" problem won't resurface in Dallas
That’s a really interesting observation. I would think that without the constant year round grind of recruiting an NFL coach would be able to concentrate on X’s and 0’s especially if he didn’t have front office responsibilities. I have a hard time believing that the pressure to win is much greater at any NFL job than OSU. But then again that’s just my take since I’ve never done either.
they just fired the coach at Gettysburg college, and he doesnt make anywhere near what these guys go!! The pressure is the same everywhere. While in the pros you dont have to recruit, but you do have to get ready for free agency, the draft, off season etc etc.
On the flip side, there are no recruiting and practice rules to worry about. It'll be a huge relief for him to not have to pretend he's complying with anything.
Being an NFL coach is a 24/7/365 job. These guys get about 4 weeks off after the May mini camps and before training camp in July. The rest is all prep work, game planning, practice, film, draft and free agency prep, etc. It never ends for NFL guys.
I lived in DC when the Redskins tried this with the ol’ Ballcoach. They couldn’t get him to stop playing golf and focus on the task at hand. It did not go well and neither would this.
The guy is a legend and worth well into 8 figures. Wtf would he do this for in his mid 50s?
Confused. I always thought Jerry Jones was a pretty smart business man.... He is willing to name a "CEO" of his multi-billion dollar organization to a guy with "heart problems" and "head problems". Gheez. I wonder if good old Urbs got miraculously cured and convinced Jerry he is fit for the long haul.
I agree. I have to choke down my own bile to admit this out loud, but Urbs is really good at this analyst thing. I'd bet between Fox, ABC & ESPN he could more or less demand his own asking price to be a studio analyst for them. ..... Why would a guy is 55, and supposedly has health issue, be willing to give up the cushiest gig on Earth as a studio analyst, making tons of $$$.... for what is probably the most stressful job in North American sports. Think about it. Is there a more stressful head coaching job in North American sports that the Head Coach of Jerry Jones' football team?
Spurrier is a fantastic reference point for Urban. There are lots of similarities there.
Because his health issues are overblown and he has an enormous ego.
I think it will come down to Lincoln Riley or Josh McDaniels. Just don't see Meyer in Dallas.
The coach that almost every NFL owner would love to hire - based on his previous, unbelievable NFL success - is, of course Jim. But the owners know he's locked into UM is on the verge of great things..

That’s what I love about you Wolvie. My mother just died, my daughter was kidnapped today by sex traffickers and my brother was just sentenced to life without parole. But you’re posts are just so damn funny I just forget about everything and laugh.
Guess this means he'll bring Zach Smith in tow?I'm sure that pesky "health" problem won't resurface in Dallas
I don't think they still have facilities near Irving, but if they did... They have some banging restaurants out there in Irving/Las Colinas. Dallas is a freaking smorgasbord of amazing food... And the women...!
I would consider living there if I got a great job offer.

No practice rules to worry about?? NFLPA might have something to say about that.
Twice the coaching work in the NFL. You can’t simply out-talent 80% of your opponents in the NFL. You have to coach your ass off and that requires round-the-clock work.
If you think Jerrah is going to give up the reigns as GM you're nuts. And therein lies the problem.
I am convinced that the great CFB coaches enjoy that aspect of it most. It’s easy compared to real coaching and schematic film work.
Urby Heartaches and Headaches. What a fraud. Best front man for a corrupt cartel. Would be perfect for the cowboyz
I have no first-hand information to the contrary and you may be completely right, but I think you're overstating the workload of an NFL head coach. I can't believe they're burning the midnight oil doing "real coaching and schematic film work" for much of the 6 months between the end of the regular season and the start of training camp. I'd love to hear from someone who has been both a college and an NFL head coach on the time commitments of each.
