8 NFCE champs


now give me the list of GMs with better resumes....and see if you can respond without saying "17 years and counting" or "Jimmy did it"

Stephen Jones, is that you?

I love Jerry but he does step it from time to time, not everytime. Garretts offense is struggling on the details and and his HCing is struggling with the detail side of it. bringing in a OC to call plays or getting calahan to do it, could be a huge blessing in disguise for Jason. Jaosn Garrett studies great leaders of teams and does his best to instill their principals on his teams. This move could very well free up RHG to be the leader we all hope he can be.

He was on the "Petros and Money" radio show in Fox Sports Radio tonight. They asked him about the moves and he said Jerry is stripping power from Garrett with the coaching moves he's made and that Cowboys players in Hawaii at the Pro Bowl are wondering what's going on. Also said people he's talked to in the NFL are confused by the Kiffin hire.

[View Full Quote]Before Glazer is branded as a "hater", he actually said in this interview that he thought the team was headed in the right direction under Garrett. He said all the players he's talked to said he gained a lot of respect with how he guided the team through the Josh Brent debacle. I believe his exact quote was that he "they had something good going on there" before Jerry intervened. He said he'd rather have Garrett calling plays than Bill Callahan.

Just passing the info along.

Well, Glazer is one of the few guys that actually has some inside info and he doesnt just make crap up like Werder does. So, if he says that Jerry is stripping powers from Garrett, you can believe it.

Now, is this a good thing or a bad thing? I think this is a good thing no matter which side of the fence you sit on regarding Garrett. If you think he is a complete idiot and has no business being HC, then you are happy Jerry is stripping Garrett of responsibilities. If you are a Garrett supporter you are happy as well because Jerry chose to strip Garrett of powers instead of just flat out fire him.

What I think happened was that Jerry and Jason had a nice long talk on the plane (after everybody else was told to get off) and Jerry broke it down for Jason, that he desperately wants him to succeed but 8-8 seasons are not going to be tolerated.

That brings us to 2013 and even the most hard core Garrett supporters realize that this is the make or break season. There is virtually no way Jerry can keep Garrett on and sell it to the fans if this team does not make the playoffs. Simply stated, if this team does not make the playoffs Jason Garrett will be fired at season's end.

I am pretty sure this was explained to Garrett on that plan in no uncertain terms.

It's a complete distortion. Any fan who paid attention when Jerry bought the team knows he wasn't an active GM during the dynasty. When you have to use those years to justify these, it's absolute desperation.

His 24 years as a GM doesn't mean anything. Why? Because he didn't earn the position and didn't have to perform to keep it. Give him 44 years at the helm, it'll mean just as little.

He played college ball. That's great but does not make him a qualified candidate to head the football operations for any NFL team.

While I tend to agree with you, its kinda a moot point.

[newlander]

you've turned this team into a .500 laughingstock and best of all pitted cowboys fans against each other. We are the Raiders of the NFC....have been for awhile now. Commitment to excrement indeed.

I don't think the real reason why the Cowboys aren't any good anymore is a moot point. It may be a tired point, or a frustrating point but not a moot point.

There is simply no way to justify the GM and the VP of Personnel on this team having no prior background in personnel. And an even harder case to explain how they've held those positions through all this futility. Not even an ounce of concern for their job security.

Well I mean its a moot point because it is not going to change, unless Jerry decides to sell the team and I dont see that happenning either.

You don't think Stephen may change things once he takes over?

I hold out hope that he will.

It's not even debatable IMO. Anyone who thinks Jerry came straight from the Oil business into the NFL being an active GM is absurd. Jerry was extremely green in the early years and deferred much more to Jimmy and the coaches. As his knowledge base grew thru osmosis, so too did his ego and by the mid 90s he was ready to take over. Start 17 years of misery.

Try clickiing your heels together, and wish Jerry and Stephen away.

There yea go.

You can act like no one makes a difference but we do. Everyone makes a difference, and Jerry Jones changes with the wind. ... or whatever you want to call it...hot air.


Plus that 10% drop in public viewing locally for 2012 should help. Could be another 10% on the way for 2013.


We have to all stick together to make a difference....but everyone, every single fan is counted on to save our franchise...there is no other hope.

So what exactly do you think YOU can change posting on a message board?
