Cowboy buzz from NFP

Better not be true.

A real head coach needs to be able to build his own staff.

This kind of stupid reasoning is what keeps good coaches away.

Parcells came because he had full control, build it his way and he did.

We won't get another good one until the same situation exists.

Keep losing and he's gone.

Ed Werder, who has been a close Jerry observer for 20 years now, also thinks there was a big change in Jerry's postgame demeanor last night.

If he had his choice, he would give Jason another year. but
as much as Jerry loves Garrett; Jerry loves Jerry more.....and he would throw his own mother under the bus, to "stir the pot". He is beginning to feel the heat from fans and media.....and worst of all, his ego is being bruised.

If you're not going to let a new coach pick his own staff, you might as well just keep Garrett.

Doing otherwise would just send a message that you're already undermining the new coach's authority.

We're screwed.

Exactly. Which is why I've felt all this talk about firing Garrett and bringing in Payton/Holmgren/whoever was irrelevant. As long as Jerry is in charge, it won't matter who the head coach is. If he's weak, he won't succeed. If he's strong, he'll be frustrated from constantly being undermined.

Any coaching change that doesn't result in the new head coach getting to pick his entire staff is doomed for failure. Mr. Jones should have no say in who a new head coach has on staff. It is the head coaches staff. This has been the problem since Coach Johnson left.

Here's the problem, imo. Jerry Jones is a man divided.

There's Fan Jerry. He's almost certainly reacting like most of us today; mad as heck as the inexplicable losses mount up, mad as heck when he sees Romo do a QB sneak on a first down, when he sees the game-killing, absurd penalties continue unabated every week, and mad as heck when he's confronted with mounting evidence that JG is totally in over his head. So, Fan Jerry probably rants and raves as we do, only not publicly. Well . . . at least not until he's ready.

Then there's GM/Owner Jerry. Owner Jerry is trying to be more diplomatic and patient, all the while bewildered by the regression. Owner Jerry wisely realizes that frequent head coaching changes are not a good thing. He doesn't want to make another costly mistake. Therefore, he'll be slow to admit that hiring JG was a mistake. So, Owner Jerry will be careful to say the right things to the media, all the while rehearsing a "You're Fired" Speech.

After yesterday's debacle, enquiring minds(me) want to know if there has finally been a come-to-Peter meeting between Fan Jerry and Owner Jerry. I believe there has. What are the implications of that meeting? That Owner Jerry will fire Red immediately? No. He'll wait until the season plays out. That Fan Jerry might put out some feelers to SP, or MH before the season ends? Yes, I believe he will.

Good point-Jimmy brought his own staff in from Miami with him-and it worked out well

[Risen Star]

I'm going to pretend I didn't read this. It would be another completely horrific decision from the owner. No head coach should ever have his staff dictated to him.

Hopefully Tom Ciskowski changes his mind about this.

It worked out better than you're willing to admit.

[17yearsandcounting]

Nope. Clear out all the losers.

Get rid of the Garretts in the front office.

Airbrush Jason out of team pictures.

No trace stays around.
