I see this site littered with trade this and trade that. All these grandiose plans to get rid of expensive players and rebuild. All of these plans means going back into the hole for several years as you accrue draft picks, make selections, and then coach 'em up.
And in the end what do you have? A hope and a prayer things change.
But the problem will still be here. That is the culture of this franchise. They can make all the Three Inch Headline trades and acquisitions, but the problem starts with the GM. To an extent even Garrett may not have been as bad as we thought, because there is not a day the sun shines on this franchise that the GM is not accessible to the players. His access undercuts all authority in this paradigm.
Every corporation creates a culture for success. It is on a daily to do list to work on creating a progressive and fertile work environment, with a structure in place to keep morale at the highest, and acquire talent to is able to succeed. But I can think of no corporation that has a General Manager, who also is the owner, and allows the worker bees an open door policy, and overrules the managers in place to who are there to keep the culture on track.
Until Jerry changes the structure of this team's policies, all the movement in talent and coaching pretty much is doubtful.
BUT!!!
Mac and his crew have to go. Weird off season, crazy rules for interaction, and no pre-season affected this team like no other. Now marry in a season of injury I have never seen with this franchise in my life. And I saw the very first game this franchise played.
Don't tell me about all teams have injuries. The entire offensive line save for Connor Williams went down. And of all the players on that line you can ill afford to still be playing, if you could chose which got injured, Connor Williams is not the last man standing any of us would pick.
Until this team gets a coach who can rule with an iron fist. Coaches who can create innovative schemes, and some much needed talent to replace aging players, the 8-8 Redhead may be the high water mark for the Dallas Cowboys for a while.
The bones are here for a team that can win it all. The hopelessness some think, which devolves into these wild-eyed trade scenarios is a mirage.
A thoughtful FA season bringing in talent for the OL, and one stud tackle for defense. Then a solid defensive draft would go a long way.
But Mac ain't the guy. Neither is his crew of coaches.
And above all., Jerry JOnes needs to get a real football man that knows talent and trundle his butt to the booth and get out of the way. Stephen needs a good dose of "you ain't all that," too.
I am not rash and want to toss the baby out with the bath water. But the culture changes when you have a Jimmy Johnson hard butt calling the shots and a GM that stays out of the limelight, does not give interviews, and closes his door to the players. Let the head coach run his ship with an iron fist.
Some here have said this for years and the rebuttal is you don't need a tyrant at head coach. That just is not needed in this new age.
The proof is sitting in the standings columns and play-off success over the last two decades.
Wonder if Belichik would be interested in turning this around?
