It's the HC. Always has been and always will be. When you listen to his press conference, the D failed because Ware was injured. He mentioned that if he held them to 20 points, that we'd have a chance which was an underhanded slight against JG and the offense. He's an excuse maker and the team has taken on his persona. I know it's an overused cliche but I think it's true.
What I think is more inexcusable is that, to this day and with all our woes, we continue to underestimate the importance of a strong HC who is a leader. How can this happen considering the impact of Landry, Johnson and, to a lesser extent, BP who had to help rebuild the franchise? It's because of Jerry's need to be in total control that he hires a weak HC and we've seen the results on multiple occassions in the post Jimmy Johnson era. To me, I'm not as concerned with the X's and O's if/when JG takes over as I am with the hope that he's a strong leader.
Jerry has never fired a coach during the season. Maybe I'm being drastic, but Wade needs to go and go now. Give JG the reigns and lets see what he does with it and how he (and the team) responds with the season on the line. This team does not respond to Wade except in the media, not on the field where it matters.
