Watching the firestorm with Jerry moment after moment day after day with him responding to questions and the continuing pressure punctuates where our core issue still resides.
The culture and climate is still too toxic for anyone to have success and or any control in Cowboys Football.
The conflict of interest with Jerry wearing both hats of owner and GM continues to be our greatest obstacle with him promoting his product on one hand and football decisions on the other. It’s a disaster.
It’s time for Garrett to walk after this season even if we were to win out which I wouldn’t bet the farm on. It’s likely to get worse. It’s just not a healthy climate in Frisco. I’d get the hell out of dodge ASAP. Good luck to the next puppet in this media circus climate with the biggest Bozo in the NFL.
there's absolutely some validity to what you are saying but the fact is, it's been done before.
Jimmy proved it. IT just takes a guy who is more strong willed, more hard headed, more stubborn and insistent and focused than anyone we've had since Jimmy (Parcells included)
it literally takes someone like Jimmy who was willing to basically get in Jerry's face and tell him to shut the blank up when needed
I think Parcells to some extent was that guy but I also think at that point in his career, Bill P was tired and didn't want to fight. I think if we had Parcells from 20 years earlier for example (during his prime with the Giants) then he could have made it work here also.
So, the next question is--is that guy out there? Who is that guy who is not only a top coach, but also has the stones to tell Jerry to go pound sand and cut checks?
if that guy is out there, that guy can win here. For my money, the only guy that comes close is Urban Meyer.
I honestly don't see another option out there that gives us any real chance of being a contender in the near future.
You are correct, the chain of command here makes it more difficult to win than anywhere else in the league with the possible exception of Detroit or Washington.
