If you were interviewing to be the HC of the Cowboys, what would be your demands?

[kskboys]

If you were interviewing to be the HC of the Cowboys, what would be your demands? Mine sound like deal breakers until they are explained.

1 – Final say on the entire coaching staff. Jerry, as Owner/President/General Manager you hire and fire the head coach…I handle the rest of the staff (including trainers). I would want to discuss the various positions with you because there may be a good reason why you want someone on the staff so badly, and if the two final candidates are almost even, I would put value on that reason. However, it there is an impasse on who to hire…I get the final call.

2 – Final say on playing time. There are very few ways a head coach can basically hit a player up-side the head with a 2 x 4 to get their attention…playing time is a big one. It can impact what bonuses they earn in their contract, their endorsements and it impacts personal stats (and therefore their standing among their peers). I would explain that obviously I’m not going to sabotage the team and the season, but if a player needs to be benched for a bit, he gets benched.

3 – Significant input on players. This is the flip side of the staff coin. There may be something I see in a player that will allow me to do something I have had to table because of personnel. However, if I am doing my job as head coach correctly, I haven’t spent a lot of time scouting players on other teams and probably haven’t spent a lot of time with the scouts (yet). Since my knowledge is more limited, if we are at an impasse on who to draft/sign…Jerry gets the final call.

4 – The contract must contain a clause that if anyone in the front office attempts to overrule my decision(s) on numbers 1 and/or 2, I can exercise the exclusive option to “resign for cause” and receive a Golden Parachute of $70 million.

I would then assure Jerry that I could not care less what he tweets, if he talks to the media, players, janitorial staff, etc.. I'll be doing my best to win and get us one of those gaudy rings.

DT's and S's.

I agree with everything you’ve stated except one thing:
The open door policy for players to go whine to Jerry has to stop. It’s part of the entitlement culture Jerry has cultivated.
Everything else is spot on.

I would let Ownership know that:

If I can't assemble my entire coaching staff
Won't have veto power over all player personnel decisions
Won't be directly involved with player scouting and development philosophy
If I can't expect zero ownership meddling with the players

I'm out.

1. Jerry Jones will have a no-contact order with the locker room.

2. Jerry will not field any questions about a player’s status, coaching decisions or any matter that is typically handled by the Coach.

3. Spaulding Jones is not allowed in the War Room during the draft. Heck, Charlotte and Jerry Jr. have no role in the draft process, so they can also take a hike. Time to get serious. Family fun time is OVER!

4. Jerry will install blinds of some sort to block out the sun at AT&T stadium. So dumb. Also, close down some of the stores in there. This Mall-like atmosphere is a joke. Once again, time to get serious. Do you want to revive the football culture in Dallas? Then friggin act like you care more about the product on the field than the $$ off the field.

5. Demand that Mickey Spagnola gets frog-marched out of the Star the minute I walk through the doors. Tell Derek Eagleton he’s got 5 minutes to fit everything in a cardboard box (not supplied) and hit the bricks before he’s also “escorted out”. No more free lunches for these deadbeat shills. This franchise needs objective coverage/feedback. The days of coddling are OVER!

 

[nalam]

Only one thing, Fire himself as a GM and go back to be the owner only.

 

[TheHerd]

Same as Garrett's. Just pay me 6M and make sure that the checks clear.

 

[doomsday808]

All questions asked by the media will be directed to the Head Coach.

 

[Blue64]

How about.... well Mr Jones would you be selling the team or going into retirement?

apparently you're not a Cowboys fan. Or maybe you want to edit your post to clarify.

I think we should move cheerleader practice to my office

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Get the stench of carrots out of the locker room.
