yep, how can you be tough, when you as the head coach come out and say, its against the rules, that i cant talk to you
that stuff goes right to the players too
so how can those players respect a head coach, when he says he will formulate a plan, but not he cant talk
bottom line, all of this lays at jerry jones's doorstep,
jerry jones has opened pandoras box by allowing no head coach to have total authority and control of the team
like some of you suggest, why should players or coaches respect the head coach when they know the buck stops with jerry jones
thats the main biggest problem on this team
just like i wrote awhile back;
since 1996 how many QBs have we had, at least 10,
how many rbs, at least 9 or more
how many linemen at least 12 more more,
and list goes on, with more players at each position
but how many general managers and owners have the cowboys had since 1996? one, Jerry Jones
till jerry jones sees that, and realizes that players are going over the head coach and griping and complining to him, knowing that the players wont get fired, but the head coach and coaches will get fired
till jerry jones sees that and puts a stop to it, nothing is going to change on this team
now at the same time, that maybe why a gag order has so called to speak, been put on all of the coaches, till the team comes back, and jerry jones and wade phillips addresses the team and lays down the law
till then it will be the same ole same old thing
