No matter what else goes wrong for the Valley Ranch lads, and no matter the loud and constant yelping for his removal (me included), Jerry the GM has a lifetime, no-termination contract.
The owner, you see, loves him some Jerry.
I've wasted ink and airtime for years in attempting to convince the owner that he's a dolt for continuing to employ that dolt.
But in failure, can there be compromise?

Stupid article...like having a different guy as gm would change where we are right now. We're 0-2 with a talented team. We're in transition where Garrett is in love with his wideouts for once, throwing even fewer plays to Witten and running less. O-linemen injured or coming back from injury. Things don't gel overnight.
After this many years in the league, Jerry is probably as much a football guy as most other gms. Very few gms ever played or coached football...they've just been around it. Jerry does a great job of putting a team together for whomever his coach is.
The problem we see on the field right now is all about coach and player, and hopefully it's short term since they are basically the same guys we finished with last year and were high on this year before two sloppy games. The gm would have no affect on this team right now; the gm doesn't go into the locker room and coach or threaten players.
Overall, a silly knee-jerk article that is way premature for this season. I guess if we hired a different gm to find players and do contracts, we'd have won several more super bowls by now...silly.

Galloway gave up caring for what he actually wrote when he got 'training bra' to share bar tabs and social 'esteem.'
Jimmy definitely knows what he's talking about. And we do have better talent, but our idiot owner turned it over to Wade and Garrett. Wade has never been a great HC. Garrett is in over his head and there is no real leader with Jerry trying to be the shadow HC. It's not rocket science, but Jerry refuses to do what's necessary and we keep paying for it.

I'll do a happy dance the day Jerry retires and Stephen takes over. Can't come soon enough.

Jones is the one constant. His massive ego won't allow him to cede control to real football people. Jones is a great promoter, a great owner and a terribel GM.
How many years since he and Johnson couldn't co-exist have we had to put up with third rate coaches? How many years has Dallas had sub par special teams? How many years has Dallas been looking for a quality kicker? How long has it been since Dallas developed quality depth on the offensive line? Since Woodson we have constantly had inferior safeties. If you don't think a good safety makes a difference watch Pittsburgh.
How many years has this team made stupid penalties and coaching errors? It actually took injuries to get Austin on the field, not some coaching revelation.

Funny though, how other teams don't have that one constant ego, have talent and still can't win. Look at hte Bears, the Eagles, etc. There are no meddling owners there and the GMs have always been football guys. The head coaches are highly respected and still these franchises can't claim a Super Bowl or Championship victory younger than 25 years. Those are some comparative facts that Galloway conveniently left out because if he thought of includung them he wouldn't an article to write.

So you're saying they should rid themselves of their GM's too?
Pretty sure that's what some of us want. Meddling owner/GM, remember?

Let me consult an 'outside' source:
fa ce' tious (fa se shes) adj. humorous; joking
and the noun form is facetiousness, but I think you were actually trying to be more...
fac tious (fac shas) adj opposing; contentious
...so a point subjected to such drama loses credability beyond....
fac ti tious (fak ti' shas) adj. aritificial; sham; made-up
...rendering the presentment as invalid due to
gra da' tion (gra da' shan) n the act or process of classifying by grade
thus providing degradation, and you can look up that meaning, understand?

I would take the Eagles record over the last ten years over ours in a heartbeat. When's the last time we sniffed even an NFC Champ game, much less came within a drive and a puke of winning the SB?

If Jerry would just do 2 things he be a solid GM.
1. Hire a real coach.
2. Step back and let him work.
He's hired good talent evaluators for drafting, he's even learned (some what) how to draft.
He just needs a coach, then he'd be getting all the pats on the back he would deserve, and be one of the elite GM's.
BUT NOOOOOOO!!

Seriously. I've been saying this for 15 years. But it's obvious Jerry is more concerned about himself than about winning.

Cant wait for Jimmy Johnson commentary on whats wrong and how to fix it. If i am Wade & Jerry....I implement every single word he has to say.
Yes Jerry. Hire a real coach so we can simply "win it all."
Like maybe... Bill Parcells.
Sorry, had to be said. :)
Not saying that Wade & Garrett are above reproach. But people want this all to be a simply formula. It's not.

Great article. Jimmy obviously hit's the nail on the head. Team is sloppy and arrogant in every way and that all boils down to the coaches and owner.

Huh?
Parcells was an improvement, as evidenced by the Cowboys improved record during his tenure. But Bill's best days were behind him. He was way too conservative and lacked an understanding of how the game was changing.

It would at least give us a fighting chance and would be far better than the repeatedly failed formula Jerry keeps trying.

What is it about the players on this team that would make you write that? They have a top 5 quarterback, three running backs who could start most anywhere in this league, three solid, play-making wide receivers, and a defense with the likes of Ware, Ratliff, Spencer, Brooking and Newman.
The only poor GM decision that Jerry has made was wiring Wade. Scratch that, two bad decisions, keeping him as head coach.
