Dom Capers has been offered a position by the Cowboys as...

[Kobal]

Guys....my sister dated George Dunham's best friend in high school, and they keep in touch even today. So, the other day she tells me "hiring Dom Capers is totally Wade's idea, man"....and I'm all like "No wai! srsly? Sounds like a Jerry move, to me"....and she's like "Totally cereally....George Dunham told his BFF in the hot tub." So take it for what it's worth fellas. I could care less if you believe me or not. I have connections like that, you wish you had my connections. I once had Sherman Williams over for dinner.

:laugh2:

Nevermind the fact that it was the offense that failed us down the stretch and in the playoff game, not the defense.

 

[Woods]

Just FYI, Wade called the defensive plays. Stew may not have had the right expertise when preparing game plans, etc.

Yes, and I think most on this forum agree that Capers is better qualified than Stewart at this stage in their respective careers.

I don't have an axe to grind against Stewart, but IF we can upgrade the position, I'm all for it.

 

[Beast_from_East]

I don't see Phillips releasing him. I think he would be unhappily demoted. Stewart may be a guy on the rise, but he may not have been ready for the position.

Guys, look at it like this.

Wade knows that if this thing goes south next year, he is the first one out the door. So Wade is going to give some help to Stewart because in the end he is actually saving his own skin.

I have never seen Jones as upset as he was at the end of the Giants game, just standing there on the sideline after the game was over staring off into space. Like he said, "we all deserved better".

Translated that means "you have one more shot Wade or your fired". Does anybody actually think Jerry wouldnt fire Wade in a heartbeat if we lose in the playoffs next year?

George Dunham is on the Cowboys payroll as the stadium announcer, knows multiple employees inside the Ranch, works for the Cowboys flagship radio station and has Jerry Jones on his radio show weekly ... yeah, he must really hate Jerry Jones. I'm sure he's so desperate to make Jerry look as bad as possible that he's willing to just make stuff up.

You guys are so fervent and frothing at the mouth to defend Jerry at any and all costs that you lose common sense.

and there are not people so fervent and frothing at the mouth to bash his every move? i don't defend jones in as much as i just argue the stupidity about the things that he's taking heat for.

Right.... Jerry get on with it, it starting to look very transparent

That's irrelevant. Half the people on here couldn't find their own butts if you gave them a map and a GPS.

Finding your own butt is seriously over rated as a thrill.

then give me my map and GPS back when you're done trying.

I can't believe Wade wouldn't have taken that approach last year. I'm going to assume that the reason he hired Stewart for the DC position in the first place is because he thought he was the right man for the job and fully capable of handling all duties.

 

[Chevyman08]

Why not just get rid of Stewart and hire Capers? Problem solved.

Not to mention the fact that the main reason Wade was hired in the first place was because we had the 3-4 in place and Wade is known as a great 3-4 DC. Wade was HC and overseerer of the defense, being the 3-4 expert and all, and he handpicked Stewart to be his DC, although it was definitely Wade's defense.

Capers is an excellent 3-4 coach as well. But we don't need him and Wade. Of course when Garrett takes over, Wade won't be here, which apparently is why Jerry is trying to bring in Capers. But it makes no sense right now, unless you just go ahead and get rid of Wade now and get on with implementing Jason as HC.

It is real transparent, Garrett was going to hire Capers as his DC in Baltimore if he took that job, now suddenly he's popping up in Dallas. Yet people try to convince us, or themselves, that it's really Wade that is making these decisions.

For better or worse, Jerry is back in total control making all the decisions. It's so obvious, I don't see why people are so insistent on denying it.

I don't see why it's cause for alarm if he's making solid football moves. This isn't Switzer, Gailey, or Campo as HC kind of moves.

Maybe last year Wade did think that Stewart was the best man for the job.

Wade may still think that Stewart is a good DC (or maybe not).

That said, maybe someone who is potentially much better is on the horizon?

Why not upgrade the team, including the coaching staff, where you can?

Agenda boy needs a wolf to cry about.

 

[newlander]

this is starting to play out like I speculated on this board a couple days ago. I never thought Capers was brought in to interview for a position job. He's a DC and a very good one. We'd be lucky to have him, but it's looking dicey because Stewart's feelings are hurt. Oh well, I seriously doubt Wade would stand for this if Stew would've done the job he was paid to do last year. I don't buy the "It was the offense, not the defense's fault" either. Sure the 'O" had a down game against the Giants but so did the whole team. The defense was unorganized and underachieved in critical moments last season: including the NY playoff game.(see the 70 yard, 40 second drive) The only reason Stew hasn't been fired yet is because Wade has some loyalty and would offer him a demotion. If he didn't take it and walked, that's on him. I really hope this happens.

why are you so insistent on pointing it out. will it change anything?

no.

will jones read your wisdom and suddenly know how to work his GPS?

it really gets annoying when someone keeps riding on a billionaire when the probably have their name sewn to their shirt but can feel superior in knowledge to said billionaire despite the fact they still live paycheck to paycheck unable to use these smarts they seem to be overflowing with to do the things that they seem to feel are so easy to accomplish.

you've GOT to be doing this on purpose.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I'm glad we have an owner that is 100% committed to winning and will do anything in his power to bring the glory back to the star. So far this has been a great off season.

That's just it. I'm not saying it spells disaster. I'm just saying that it doesn't seem to make much sense to install the next coaching staff now. It seems rather obvious Jerry is behind many of these decisions. The thing is, that doesn't mean it won't work. What's funny is how so many seem to bend over backwards to try and claim Wade is calling all the shots, as if admitting it is actually Jerry or Garrett then there's a problem.

This is complete crap. It was the offense that failed us. The defense gave them the ball back twice in the final quarter, and the offense had 3 drives to score and came up with squat.

If anything we should have brought in Cam Cameron to help out Garrett.

 

[Cowboys22]

Why has noone mentioned that Wade wanted Spagano for his DC last year but San Diego would not let him go. They did let Stewart go. Maybe thats because they knew he wasn't as good a coach. Anyway, my point is that Wade actually settled for Stewart because he was the only defensive coach from San Diego that was available. It is entirely possible that after a year as a DC, it is painfully obvious to everyone that Stewart is in over his head and needs assistance from someone with experience. If he's not willing to accept it, then let him go and bring in Capers.
