Meh. I feel like if they wanted Mike gone he'd be gone. Jerry is soft, but not that soft.
To me this is much like the Dez situation. Amari openly said publicly last year that he was "open" and not getting the ball. Dez did the same thing. He was gone shortly after. The unfortunate comparison is that both were overpaid for their production at that point. Amari had less than 1,000 yards, and didn't take ownership at all. Hate Dak all you want but he owns his failure. So did Romo.
Old school guys don't like excuses. They like accountability, and results.
Run with that a mile or 20+ years. I get it. I won't argue about results with Dak, Romo, Dez, or Amari. I'm simply looking at things from the outside perspective. This is a theme....... So is losing lately...
Regarless, Amari made a cardinal sin in Jerry world. He complained he wasn't getting the ball, but never showed up in interviews about any of his shortcomings. He just vanished in games, and said nothing. I respect Jerry for ditching him honestly. We've all said at times he seems lazy against great competition (same with Dak), and then he gives up (Dak doesn't, he's just not as naturally gifted).
Personally I'm fine with Cooper gone. He's the polar opposite of Dez, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. Dez was good for Romo because of how Romo played. Coop was good for Dak, because of his skillset that matched him. However, all good things come to an end. Much like with Dez.
Dallas needs a guy that has a bit of both to be Daks #1. Dog/Separation. Lamb is flashy, but not a dog. Fingers crossed we can get a guy like George Pickens in the draft. He's that guy. Stack 10-15 on him in a year or two and he'll have it all. Speculative for sure, but it's what I see. Or maybe I'm wrong about #88. Maybe he is that guy. He certainly has the talent.
