This is what I would do this offseason, not what I think the Cowboys might do:

-Fire DC Matt Eberflus, we need to bring in a modern defensive scheme. Brain Flores would be my top target if he fails to land a HC job. He runs a modern, hybrid scheme and has gotten results without stars. Jim Leonard from the Broncos would be my fall back option.

-Time to open up the books and move some money to the post Dak years. They have the ability to create over 100 million in space. Franchise Tag George Pickens. Give him one more season to prove himself. Resign Javonte Williams, Stewart Move on from Diggs, Steele, Hooker.

Free Agency

-Trey Hendrickson Cincy Edge (his value is about 22 million right now)
-Quincy Williams Jets LB (reunite him with his brother)
-Reed Blankenship Eagles S (solidifies the deep secondary)
-Boye Mafe Seattle Edge (young, inexpensive rotational piece)
-Kelvin Beechum Swing Arizona Swing Tackle (inexpensive, experience Tackle, Guyton/Thomas can still improve)

Draft

Sonny Styles LB Ohio State (rangy, athletic, elite coverage type of linebacker)
Dillion Thieneman Safety Oregon (a versatile safety prospect)
Add another #2 RB for competition, more trench depth

Sounds good but sounds like a lot of spending for Jerry to do that he's not comfortable with doing he or stephen. This bargain bin stuff has taken its toll

If Jerry wants one last chance of a SB before he retires, this is the time to make it happen. When Dak leaves or retires, that's when a full rebuild is expected to happen.
 
Not to go into details (site rule #5 & #7) but Jerry Jones would be the last owner to hire Brian Flores. Jones has history of suing the league. He does not support other people doing the same.
This is what I would do, not Jerry.

A few thoughts

- Eberflus does have to go.

- Ehhh on Reed Blankenship. He's mediocre. If you buy into PFF ratings, he's currently rated the 93rd out of 95 qualified safeties. He's not as bad as PFF claims but he certainly isn't all that much of an upgrade over what we have.

They need a tackle in here, one that can play. Steele has to go.

I want Rex Ryan

Live in Philly now and see all their games. Blankenship is the key guy for their communication on the back-end. No, not a star, but a solid starter that will help prevent those blown coverages. He would be a huge upgrade over Wilson as that roof safety.
 
First thing you mentioned won't happen.
Likely but I think there is the small possibility that if this team kind of fizzles a bit here at the end and the defense gets exposed in another game, Jerry may realize he likely only has a couple of seasons left to get this right.

I too live in Philly and he's a mediocre safety. Always has been. He was a big fan fave here for a bit but many are coming around to the realization he's kind of blah and that likely isn't long for Philadelphia.

I quibble with the notion that he'd be an upgrade on Wilson.

I was with you until you said Reed Blakenship. Yuck.

Blankenship is one of those guys that for some reason people overvalue.

He's the Eagles version of Jeff Heath, a guy people for some reason think is way better than he actually is. Although as I said above, while a fan favorite early, many fans in Philly are coming around to the mediocrity that is Reed Blankenship.
 
If I’m going to hire a coach, I want a new young upstart ,who the league hasn’t already scrutinized.
It’s a different league, it takes different thinking, that’s from an old school cowboy

In my view, he is in the right positions and makes plays.
