Changes to be made at minimum for the Cowboys to be successful next season

[Avenging Hayseed]

In no particular order...

New offensive line coach with some recent chops. Zone running scheme,...tough hard nosed run game.

Draft another D.T high and sign one as well.

Draft another inside linebacker, another OLB too.

Draft another WR, sign one to replace Cooks.

Draft a true lead back,...1st round, second at latest.

Upgrade the offense with more motion,.... a lot more motion.

Sign some decent depth.

I am not a McCarthy hater, so if he stays I wouldn't totally be against it either. But yeah,...I would just as soon see him gone. Next head coach cant be a yes man,....he has to have a little fire in his belly or modern players will walk all over him. Wouldn't mind seeing Mike Vrabel brought in,...for my money he can bring Jim Schwartz to run the defense too.
Vrabel accomplished a lot for the hand he was dealt with the Titans,...never had an Uber talented team although he did have some great talent in spots like Derrick Henry. Tennessee has been known for quite some time as a team that doesn't spend in Free agency,...between that and a couple questionable drafts it kept them out of the super Bowl IMO.
In fact, Vrabel reminds me a lot of Dan Campbell,....but Campbell was given much more control.

Draft WR's that EXCEL at getting seperation!!!! (Post of your life coogi)

The Cowboys have real needs at every position.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Hmmm...I thought for certain curtains would be involved.

They can do everything you suggest and this team will still not be successful.

Because the main problem will still be making 60 Mil next season.

 

[Carson]

- RB1 and bring back Dowdle as depth
- WR2
- Slide Smith to LT, release Steele, move Guyton to RT. Bass or Hoffman start at RG and upgrade LG

- Edge rusher
- More beef at DT
- MLB
- Replace the safeties

- Solid draft and a 3rd place schedule should help out a lot

I don't think he is the MAIN problem. I think that problem lies much higher in the org chart.

Yep, it’s like putting lipstick, earrings, a wig and some makeup on a pig…. Still a pig.

None of this will matter w the scrub we are paying $60m.

We’ve fielded better well-rounded rosters and he still couldnt get it done making LESS money

A new GM. The rest is moot.

That's not saying much....

 

[CATCH17]

This team needs Kaleb Johnson in round 2.

Not sure I agree there Bob.

They seem pretty set at corner, and there’s some nice players on OL. The LB room has improved.

They absolutely need another play maker on offense, and heaven forbid they ever bother to fix DT the right way. Safety is going to end up a problem again before long, but I wouldn’t say they are in terrible shape across the board.

This team could potentially be much better with one off-season….if they used FA and didn’t screw it up, but we know they are afraid of paying big money to players they never heard of, so….I expect another mediocre 2025. They truly believe it’s about bad luck.

Your first paragraph is the grand slam for me. I have never seen a more inept trio of McFraud, Schott and Solarski with regards to their inability to design and execute a 2024 style run game.

For all of Schott's and Solarski's long ago success as run game guys they are truly pathetic.Throw in McCarthy and his run the ball and rest the defense lie and it's literally a 3 stooges operation of run game malpractice.

Fix the run game/oline blocking schemes and the transformation will be night and day.

Any of these "This is what we should do for future success" posts that don't have "Begin the search for a QB immediately" as the #1 priority cannot be taken seriously.
