1.) Name me one team that doesn't tip their hand. It's way more professional to sit down, discuss the best way and then bring it forward while keeping things general to the media and onlookers until the final decision is made.

2.) I am pretty sure that that it was a decision made by Stephen, Jerry, McClay, and Garrett. Ya know. Sitting down and discussing the season and taking TIME to retrospect and discuss a plan before you just go off half cocked. Make sure there are a couple OC's to target worth the upgrade and discuss again and again if this is the right move. I don't want this team to do things on a whim.

3.) Landry didn't have Clint. Clint was totally hands off. Tex Schram was the President of the Dallas Cowboys and who Landry answered to, also Landry and Bum Bright (The Cowboys 2nd owner) absolutely despised each other. To the point that part of the deal to sell the Cowboys in 1988 was to have it in writing that anyone who bought the Cowboys would have to fire Landry because Bum knew the heat it would bring. But he backhanded Landry in a way that Jerry could never have done. Jerry wanted to put Landry as President, but we all know what happened after that. The Media snuck in at the Dinner Party with Jerry and Schram and overheard that Tex was going to fire Landry and retire. The next day it was in print and Jerry took all the blame, but contractually it had to happen and even if it wasn't contractually Landry most likely would have been fired anyway. When Jerry realized the Media had leaded it, he found Landry at a Golf Course in Austin and explained that the media had gotten it wrong, he wanted Landry to assume Tex's role, and Landry refused. So to say that Landry didn't have Clint.. He had much worse than Garrett has, he had Bum Bright who literally tried to flush this team down the toilet and is the true villain in this long story. Jerry has had his share of mistakes and deserves blame for things, but lets be honest. Give ONE owner in this league or any other that can keep a Franchise #1 in popularity, financial, and player popularity without a Championship in literally a quarter of a century. You can't find one. So yes, the lets jump on Jerry stuff gets really old after a while.

Blaming Jerry for firing Landry was an all-time low (stupidity) by the fans that did it.

How often does the owner or CEO of a big company travel to the employee's location to fire him?

That was a sign of respect. Jerry could have fired him over the phone like they did with Rob Ryan.

Fans that continued to blame Jerry after the 92 season and Super Bowl win have to have been non-functional in real life if their emotions are that volatile.

The Cowboys are a clown show. They need to hire Lincoln Riley in order to restore credibility and prestige to the organization.

They like there own, will probably promote the acting QB Coach (used loosely) as the next OC.

Cowboys run the ball 98 percent of the time off tackle on 1st and 10.

I addressed Johnson and Pete Carroll in a follow up post ... Jimmy had no Salary Cap to deal with and FA hadn't quite paralyzed the League the way it does now. For those two who've been successful, although Pete had prior pro experience with the Jets, the road is littered with failures (Saban ring any bells), of those who got it handed to them and ran away with their tails between their legs.
you'll never roll seven if you don't roll the dice.
