I can see them moving on from both, especially if the team struggles. A new coach will want his own coordinators, and key players, like QB, to fully implement their vision.

How many times have fans and media lamented Jerry saddling the incoming HC, OC and/or DC with leftovers (coaches or players) from the previous failed regime? Often resulting in a mishmash of players not fitting, or being able to adapt to, the new coach's or coordinator's scheme.

We've seen 4-3 zone players trying to play 3-4 man, 3-4 man players trying to play 3-4 zone, 3-4 zone players in 4-3 zone, all without the right players for the scheme. The same goes for the offensive side, though at a lesser extent. Garrett/Linehan were all about the running game, stretching the field vertically, back-shoulder throws and a focus on large, tall receivers that could fight for contested passes. Moore was more about gadget plays, bubble screens, and outside runs. McCarthy with his West Coast roots is more about quick reads, timing, accuracy, stretching the field horizontally, receiving out of the backfield, and YAC.

Dak is ill-suited for the WCO with slow/poor post-snap reads, questionable accuracy, and poor anticipation/timing which all stifle RAC.

If they don't extend Dak and the team struggles (.500 or less), missing the playoffs or another one and done, they absolutely should move on from McCarthy, and Prescott. That why I'd like them to resign Trey Lance now to serve as a bridge with potential for more. And, if he doesn't fit the new coach/coordinator's scheme, easier to trade while bringing in QB's that fit.
