Many cooks in the kitchen, without a chef!

[Cowboyny]

The whole Cowboy Organization has lacked a central leader in many areas within the team:

-We have heard that picking the draft picks was a team effort, where Jerry was the tie-breaker if it came to that point. As we have seen, the front office/coaching staff & the scouts haven't been on the same page. S. Floyd was high on their team board, yet when he fell to them, they refused to take him cause he didn't fit Marinelli's profile as a 3T DT. We are all aware of the whole Watt/Taco debacle. MM stated this year that the organization should empower the scouts and Will McClay as they do all the work on evaluating the players. On paper, the Cowboys has one of their best drafts in several years.

-We have heard that it's a team effort putting the offensive game plan together, the likes of Kellen Moore, Jason Garrett, Nuss, Kitna & even Dak all were involved in the process. So many men, probably so many different opinions. Why hire a OC if they don't trust him to put together his own game plan? We aren't sure of all the logistics how it we all work between MM & Moore, but it is clear, they are in charge.

-Do we even need to discuss the Defense, having two so called DC's not being on the same page was an absolute disaster. What we do know now is Mike Nolan is the team's DC, he will be implementing his own scheme, making his own calls and having the entire unit being on the same page.

So many cooks in the kitchen, without one Chef!!

Well the best chef the Cowboys ever had Jerry fired.
Jimmy Johnson new how to prep the meal, cook the meal, and how to serve the meal.

Because, as we all know, Tom Landry was just some spare guy in a funny hat.

Hey, I grew up with Tom, and liked him a lot. But Tom lost 3 Super Bowls -Jimmy won every Super Bowl he was in. Also Jimmy took the team he got from
Tom in 1989(Worst Team in NFL) to back to back Super Bowl Champs in 5 years. Also Tom never won back to back Super Bowls.

Just to clarify, I agree with your assessment about the previous coaching staff. But, are you ending your post with a conclusion about the new staff or just reiterating your original premise about the old staff?

It's was about the old staff.

Dallas needs some more Super Bowl wins- like that 60 years you have on your page, this might be the time for another dominant run like the 90's
Go Cowboys

McCarthy is the main chef. Everyone will follow his drumbeat. I feel 1000% more confident in the current coaching staff over the last one. As we have found out the last few months, it was dysfunctional as heck.

That’s what happens when you have a puppet like Garrett running your team. He was way over his head as a HC. He would also be one of my last choices for OC.

I can't recall another team's staff being like this, but I'm sure if there was, we would have been in the top 3.

I always heard many cooks do not eat their own meals, but in this case I think Mike is the exception.

But notice how much of it was hidden?

Not only from the media, but by the media in many cases, because they were 'friends' with those guys. And certainly by fans, who will shoot every messenger that might bring a message that casts the team in anything less than a favorable light. Many people don't want to know the truth, if that truth might not be pleasant.

Tom in 1989(Worst Team in NFL) to back to back Super Bowl Champs in 5 years. Also Tom never won back to back Super Bowls.

Wait, nothing against Jimmy, believe me, but Tom produced the most winningest team in NFL history, won two Superbowls (like Jimmy) while in 5, nearly showed up in several others, oversaw a team that was always in the competition in the playoffs, generated a whole era of football fans/media that called the Cowboys "America's Team', he done this for over 20 something years and without the help of a 'Hershel Walker' trade.
Jimmy had a good run of 4 years, but he was no Tom Landry.

Good stuff -- that central leader you mentioned early-on, imho, is none other than Jerry Jones! As an owner, he's a super salesman but as a qualified GM, he's far less! The vast majority of Cowboys fans are in agreement on that. He allowed Garrett to linger on for a decade, despite his lame handling as their HC. He allowed Rod Marinelli to keep insisting upon hiring lightweight DTs, despite their inability to contain the run. Once Will McClay entered the picture, things improved in the draft but not so much on gameday. Now it's Mike McCarthy and a new staff to do all they can to renew the glory days for Dallas.

With the oncoming of a new day now, the Cowboys have finally rid themselves of JG's archaic schemes. Enter Mike McCarthy, who had been a castoff of the Packers but one who is generally considered an improvement over the former HC. It may take a while for the new regime to get their "legs under them" but surely, time will tell the tale with them. Most fans, like myself, are hopeful of better days to come. Yet, we've yet to discover how all of this unfolds.

Well the best chef the Cowboys ever had Jerry fired.
Jimmy Johnson new how to prep the meal, cook the meal, and how to serve the meal.

Let's say the 2 best Jerry ever had, he fired. Amazingly enough, Jerry was the only owner to have had all 3, Landry/Johnson/Switzer SB winning HC's on his payroll.

He fired Landry one day after closing from purchasing The Cowboys. Jones stated he did not give consideration to retaining Landry for even a season, as he said he would not have purchased the team unless he could hire Johnson as HC.

And to think some of our fanbase says Jerry is "stupid" etc....
