This team is soft **. They need someone that’s going to come in here and build a physical, tough, mindset. Mental and physical toughness is sorely lacking. You have a bunch of guys that worry about their brand. Can that be changed with Jerry at the top, I’m pessimistic.

but these guys need someone to drop the hammer.

if that’s Greg Roman, I’d be fine with it.

I don't know/ I've got a feeling that Jerry is going to swing for the fences and make the biggest push of his life at Belicheck. Brady's contract is expiring and who knows what he's going to do. I think Jerry is waiting for the Patriots to finish their post season and he's going all in on Bill.

I have no empirical proof, of course, but the fact that Jerry said he's not worried about who else anyone hires and that they can hire all the big names out there and it doesn't matter, tells me that he's willing to put every bit of capital it takes (including draft capital) to get Belicheck in Dallas and, for the second time ever (the first being Parcells), take a step back and let a coach do his job.

I could be way, way off here but it's a feeling I can't shake, right now.

the internet and cowboys zone would explode if this happens. i like the way you think.... :D

I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

Our offensive players are perfect for Roman. I've been wanting him since he turned yet another mobile QB into a powerhouse.

Roman, with this OL, QB, and RBs, would be amazing.

What? Dak was named Offensive Rookie of the year in his rookie season.

Let's see IF your Lamar has this skill set next season. I highly doubt it. Like Mahomes the season prior, someone else always comes around as Lamar did to oversee Mahomes.

Silly comment.

Lamar Jackson is the NFL's top running threat at QB. Like Mahomes last year, right now defenses don't have an answer for him.

Dak Prescott is a much better pure passer than Jackson, but to compare the skill set of the two is apples and oranges. Jackson is really unique among league QB's right now.

You know as soon as Bill becomes HC of the Cowboys, Goodell will only then suspend him for a year minimum because of the newest Spygate. Maybe that is what the delay on Red is for. Jerry promising him a year of interim HC while we wait for Bellichek to get off suspension.

Dak was really good his first year, who’s to say Jackson won’t drop off like Dak supposedly has in year 2

I’d be happy with that. Dak has nowhere the skill set of Lamar but he also made Colin K into a pretty good QB.
What an asinine post? As a rookie, Prescott started all 16 games with 3,667 passing yards, 282 rushing yards, 29 total touchdowns, and only four interceptions, and his 67.8% completion percentage ranked No. 4 among NFL quarterbacks in 2016.

With the Cowboys finishing the season with a 13–3 record, the team clinched the NFC East title. Let's see IF your rookie Lamar has this skill set to even come close to Prescott' rookie season numbers.

Oh, and toss in offensive rookie of the year.

"Nowhere the skill set of Lamar", PLEEZ..:lmao:

Lamar' won't continue playing at this level next season either. Like Mahomes the season prior, someone else always comes around as Lamar did to oversee Mahomes.

Well, you're thinking well ahead of where I'm at but I just don't know if Jerry has enough of a finger on the pulse of what the league might do with the new allegations to plan out that far ahead. If BB is, in fact suspended I don't think it would bother Jerry a bit to clean house after next season if Bill became available after a suspension. The dude is 77 and time is running out a hell of a lot faster than his money is.

I think if he became available, Jerry would vacate the entire staff (contracts be damned) and let Bill come in and do his thing.

Writeup about Roman

Roman, who is a long-time coordinator and assistant, has yet to get his crack at becoming a head coach. However, given what he has done in his first season as the playcaller in Baltimore, and the success he has had with Lamar Jackson in the former Heisman winner’s first full season as a starter, it’s worth pondering just how much of a difference he would make in the Lone Star State if he were making the game decisions in Dallas.

Roman has spent the last three years with Baltimore, but this is the first season where he has been responsible for calling the plays. And the Ravens have responded with one of the most dynamic offenses in the league on their way to a 9-2 record where they sit atop the AFC North.

Roman has also made stops as an assistant in San Francisco and Buffalo. He was the offensive coordinator for the 49ers during the Jim Harbaugh era, which included an appearance in Super Bowl XLVII where, coincidentally, they lost to the Ravens. Spanning the years in which he has been coordinator, he has three straight seasons with the No. 1 rushing attack in terms of yards and touchdowns.

The Dallas Cowboys are built to run the football, which is a big reason why Roman would make some sense. This season, Dallas has had more success as a passing team, but there’s no question that they are designed to run. With Roman’s past successes, a union with him and the likes of Ezekiel Elliott and the elite offensive line would bode well in punishing opposing defenses.


For that reason alone, it feels like a match made in football heaven. Roman has also worked with mobile quarterbacks like Colin Kaepernick, Tyrod Taylor, and now Jackson. And while Dak Prescott doesn’t match up with those guys as far as running the ball, one could imagine that Roman could find a way to get a competitive advantage with the former fourth-round selection turned MVP candidate. Dallas is often better when Prescott makes things happen with his legs.

The Cowboys most recently struggled to score nine points against the Patriots just a couple weeks after Roman’s Ravens faced that same squad. While, yes, it was a home game for Baltimore and a rain soaked disaster at Foxborough for Dallas, Roman found a way to attack the New England defense and used Baltimore’s advantages on the ground to beat Bill Belichick and the Patriots 37-20 to hand them their only defeat of the season.

Should things continue to look mediocre by the time the season ends for the Cowboys, it is worth kicking the tires on a fresh perspective from the coaching staff and, while there are surely big name candidates that will likely get a look, Greg Roman should definitely be on top of that eventual list.

Roman has paid his dues and should be looking to run his own team and the Dallas Cowboys have a roster that would make any prospective coach salivate.

Do you think it’s time to make a change at coach for the Cowboys? If so, share your ideal candidate with Patrick on Twitter @DraftCowboys.

The Ravens are 20-4 with Lamar as a starter.

Clearly you're not familiar with Greg Roman's resume.

Should look it up.
He made Tyrod Taylor a QB
He made Alex Smith a good player
Dak is not the super runner he has now but he likes using QB runs and mixes run and pass well
He also has worked around some dang good defenses so should know a good DC
