A new paint job is not enough

[Eightneight]

IMO, When fans say, “Jerry owns the team...he can do whatever he wants with it”, they are perpetuating this ongoing problem with this team which has led to nearly a quarter century of playoff failure. Yes, we all know Jerry paid $147 mil for the Cowboys in ‘89, so technically he can drive this franchise off a cliff if he wants to. In fact, that’s exactly what he’s done.

But shouldn't we also say that’s stupid? There’s a reason 30 of the 32 owners in this league hire real football people to run their organizations. It’s why the last 23 Super Bowls have been won by owners who hire football people. It doesn’t work anymore, and we have over two decades of evidence to prove it.

Jerry is THE BIGGEST PROBLEM. He’s created this culture and lack of accountability. Sure Garrett is a bad coach. But without changing how this franchise is run and just turning around and hiring another coach with the same culture and lack of accountability...it’s like a new paint job on The Titanic. There will always be an iceberg. Hiring Urban Meyer, Lincoln Riley or even Bill Belechick without changing the fundamentals of how this team is run will not save this team.

We’ve had nearly a quarter century of icebergs with 6 different coaches. And ONE GM. I know Jerry “has the right” to do what he wants, but shouldn’t we also recognize that If he doesn’t change, the results won’t either?

Ditto. Been saying this as well for a long time. There really is nowhere else to look anymore. 2 decades of coaches and players but yet the same results. There is a sick culture deep inside the organization that lacks accountability and results. The last person to instill those traits was Jimmy. Period point blank. Great Post Bobhaze

When did winning the division become the goal of the Dallas Cowboys?

Of the first 30 Super Bowls, the Cowboys played in the NFC/NFL title game 15 times and reached the SB 8 times. Over the 23 SBs, the numbers are zero and zero.

But keep on defending Jerry. He, the one constant with his meddling ways, couldn't be the problem. It has to be the half dozen coaches during that time.

Paints a picture don't it? That's how dallas became Americas team. Jer turned them into a punchline.

I think because they are neutered the door before they ever blow their whistle.

On exposure...good point point but it will be interesting to see if Garrett has success elsewhere. Every HC that leaves this place has gone on to not have much success as a HC elsewhere. I guess you could argue Jimmy took the Dolphins to the playoffs. And Parcells and Switzer retired. But Campo, Gailey and Wade never accomplished anything else as a HC despite their “exposure” as DC HC. It’s almost like every coach Jerry hires loses their mojo.

Most valuable sports franchise in the world. Jerry is a businessman. He doesn't have any problems.

You’ve found the right franchise, lol. As fans, I think Jerry thinks we are supposed to be thrilled that we are #1 in revenue.

Yep, #1 in revenue, most profitable, best stajum artwork, and our owner and "GM" set the nfl owner high score for number of call girls in a given week.

Winning is not a priority with Captain Hubris!

This team needs a head coach that can change the culture of this team.

Let's see another shot of Dumb & Dumber in the owner's box looking puzzled, the only two Cowboys supporters who are surprised to see this happening again.

Okay maybe three, if we count Rockport.

And Jerry is the only person in America that is surprised by this performance.

And sadly Greggo, Jerry is in one of the lifeboats every time this ship goes down even though he’s the ship’s designer and captain.
