I cannot convince myself that whoever Jerry hires will make a difference because the guy calling the shots is still Jerry. Only the Jerry we have now is losing his mental faculties, IMO.
I raise the same point again, we came out of the 2023 season after being beaten badly by Aaron Jones and the GB Packers. Jones had a million yards and 100 TDs I think. But we all knew the problem. Our DL stinks. We need some better players there. What did Jerry do? He let Armstrong and Gallimore, and Hankins and Fowler leave. Not that Gallimore was that good or anything, but he was a body. But the point is, Jerry did nothing to replace these players really. Yeah, he drafted Kneeland. And Rogers. Signed a couple of guys as undrafted free agents. But the reality is, he did not even try to improve on what they had before. The Cowboys finished 4th worst in the league in run yards allowed per game. They were awful. That's not on McCarthy or Zimmer. That's on the guy who buys the groceries.
The other obvious problem was we couldn't run the football. Our best RB left for free agency, again, Jerry made no serious attempts to re-sign him. Instead we went into the season with Zeke, Vaughn and Rico. Is there another team with a worse group of RBs? No matter what you think of Rico, he was not an upgrade over Pollard.
If you ask me, MM worked miracles to win 7 games, and almost beat Washington again despite not having his only skill position threat on the field and a bad backup QB.
The problem in 2024 was not Mike McCarthy. That doesn't mean McCarthy doesn't have warts. He does. But no matter who Jerry hires he will fail because Jerry is not buying groceries in 2025 either. He'll pick leftovers out of the dumpsters behind restaurants like he's been doing while telling us his draft picks are all home runs.
One ther thought. Jerry is 82. Will his new coach have a new owner before his contract is expired?
