Only guy I can think of is belichick
That actually might be it. I've seen Kyle Shanahan's name mentioned, but I don't know why since he has a job. I guess if San Fran fires him, but I'm not sure Jerry'd even be hands-off with him. Parcells brought a certain amount of NFL authority with him and Jerry let him bring in his FOBs and help reshape how the team approached the draft.

Which is why I kind of want to see Belichek get the job. Don't give him full control over the draft though.
I think the Joneses have established the draft as a collaborative effort, with the coach having a certain amount of influence in the players he wants. I guess if Belichick was hired and McClay suddenly quit, we'd know that Belichick demanded and received draft control. I do think it is important to note, though, that Belichick was given near-complete control of football operations when he was hired in New England. He split some of those duties with Scott Pioli, but Belichick had final say. That worked out pretty well until having a subpar QB brought him back to NFL reality.

Take the QB position seriously for the first time since Aikman.

Stop building teams around these 4th round/undrafted losers that will fail.

It’s incredibly simple.

You get a QB and it changes everything overnight.

Look at Washington, Pittsburgh, Texans, Lions, Falcons, Vikings, Broncos, Bucs, and Packers.

That’s 9 teams that got a new QB within the past couple of seasons and are currently in the playoffs or on the bubble.

Cooper Rush is 2-2 through 4 games this year just like the 60 mil man was through the first 4 games.

Finding a QB that can change things isn’t as hard as some of y’all want to believe it is.
You speak very general......which tells me you're off the cuff, perhaps.....and back to just Dak, it seems.

Our GM this past year alone:
Decided on Dak/Cee Dee later than sooner, that cost additional money
Had a Trey Lance experiment going that failed miserably in preseason and a Cooper Rush to look at now
Failed to acquire a RB and allowed Barkley to be in Philly and Henry no call (didn't even entertain for Mixon or keep Pollard, at minimum)
Brought Zeke back, just like he did with Witten
Watched too many guys leave that were starters and BEFORE the two big pending contracts above.....to stabilize the defensive interior.
Only addressed the glaring LB position initially with Kendricks, and previously with failure toward Bobby Wagner.
Didn't bother with addressing another WR on offense.....instead dependent on short Cooks as a WR2.
Addressing the safeties....at least one of 'em.
Salary Cap money still available.
GM pays Coaches lower than the contenders. (But GM is masterful in marketing)

Seems we need to hit rock bottom (we haven't yet, believe it or not) like some of the teams you mentioned, we just needed a retool......where's a Howie Roseman when you need him.

And while you mention Romo as a loser too.......many would say he didn't have much to work with (GM?). That's what they tell me on the board. I can't even mention Dak/Romo comparisons/similarities before some come forth with hasty & angered spirit. Jerry did Romo and the team wrong with first-time HC Jason Garrett (BFF Club) too long and has been a failed GM since Jimmy was shown the door. Dak (replacing Romo due to injury) was a surprise that enabled this to not be as bad as it could have been.

For many to see our team on opening day.....before injuries.......has been fools gold .....certainly by game 2 against New Orleans. Carr passed less than 20 times. Just my take, thanks MountaineerCowboy.

You can’t get everything you want. The salary cap just doesn’t allow it. You can’t build a perfect team.

Romo AND Dak had elite offensive lines and elite run games. Dak more so than Romo, but Romo still had it towards the end. Dak had it his first like 6 years before Zeke completely crashed, but the OLine was always elite.

Dak had defenses that multiple times led the NFL in turnovers and two years in a row held the 49ers under their average PPG and still failed to score enough points.

When Dak or Romo is your QB your margin for error is incredibly small. You have to hit on everything else from offense to defense. When Jerry is your GM you’re not going to hit on everything you need.

Therefore, the QB needs to be the priority for a Jerry Jones led organization to succeed. You need a QB that is good enough to offset everything else not being 100% perfectly aligned.

Wut? Romo? Yes it was Romo who couldn't make "The Catch"...it was Romo who fumbled the ball back to QB> Oh wait...that was Dez and Murray.

Your memory is faulty.

Romo playoff stats are pretty good...maybe not superb but pretty good. Good enough to win.

Total611418561.61,3167.1219.38293.04.31.122170

The box with "2" in it? That 2 interceptions in 6 games.

His last two playoff games? 125.8 RTG

The last thing Jerry needs to do is listen to Dak.

Manning can't even win the starting job at Texas. He'll get a shot at the NFL because of his name but so far hasn't shown much.
He is a freshman behind Ewers, he was never going to start over him. He will get his chance starting next season and he has every tool in the book to work with. He was also the #1 recruit coming out of HS. His pedigree alone gives him a high ceiling and I think he will develop nicely. Time will tell…..

Mike and Dak, they deserve each other and deserve to be together on any team.

But this one,

I think the whole gang should get a life time of massive pay checks with zero accountability. Anything less seems mean.
