Firing everyone is a popular idea until - then what?

[Bobhaze]

Amidst the calls for Brian Schottenheimer and Chris Parker to be fired, there are two sizeable problems standing in the way. One is a stubborn cheapskate soon to be 84 year old owner/GM/micro manager, and the other is….then what?

Jerry won’t fire Schotty with two and half years left on his contract. Why? Because he’s cheap. Even when he fired Wade Phillips in 2010, Jerry only had to pay him for a year and some change. He famously wouldn’t fire Big Mac after that embarrassing playoff loss in Jan 2024 because he had one year left and JJ didn’t want to pay him.

CP’s contract terms were not disclosed but he’s on at least a two year deal. I contend JJ may be willing to eat that. But…then hire the 6th DC in 6 seasons?

So there’s that.

Secondly, then what? Who’s Jerry going to hire in October that makes this Titanic of Jerry’s own design any better? Lipstick on a pig? New paint job of the Titanic? This is a very young and inexperienced coaching staff and who on that staff can make this mess any better?

This team is clearly teetering on looking completely lost…again.

And the person most to blame is the guy that obviously still thinks 500 guys could coach this team. He continues to hire HCs like Chan Gailey, Dave Campo, Jason Garrett and now Brian Schottenheimer who were neither ready for the job nor in high demand by other teams. No surprise we are where we are.

Whatever frustration, anger and finger pointing fans want to do, make sure it starts in the owner’s box. Because America’s team is being run by the oldest GM in sports history, supported by his unqualified children. And we are supposed to think he knows what he’s doing outside of business and marketing when we have decades of team building failure receipts.

Again point the finger first at the owner’s box. That’s where all this mess starts.

I’d fire Parker. I mean how could the defense get any worse? He’s obviously in way over his head.

Jerry has been around football his entire life and even played at Arkansas so I cannot believe he's this inept. He's also had plenty of time to learn and he repeats the same mistakes over and over.

I don't get it but my patience has run out. If we don't hire a real head coach after this season I will not watch another game until we do. They aren't good for my health and I certainly don't enjoy watching them, win or lose.

 

[loublue22]

The problem with firing is who does the subsequent hiring.

 

[Captain-Crash]

*High five* the Jerry hate threads are on.............



Arthur......" best thread ever bullet"...............lol


*buys a Dak jersey* just because he's the best.......


Lets fire, and cut everybody, we should win the super bowl this year if they do.......

The problem is the next coach will be chosen by Jerry again.

That is exactly the problem.

I don't get it but my patience has run out. If we don't hire a real head coach after this season I will not watch another game until we do. They aren't good for my health and I certainly don't enjoy watching them, win or lose. It's as frustrating as watching r'd kids on roller skates.

Here’s the thing though. Just because someone played football in college doesn’t make them a good football personnel executive. Just like many HOF players make lousy coaches.

I know lots of people in lots of professions who have years of experience who would never make a good leader in that profession. Experience does not equal talent. In fact, talent is more important than experience over time.

Jerry is really good at business and sales. He has proven that. And he has also proven he is not a good builder of football rosters. That is now a proven thing. He won’t accept that though and here we are,

You are correct, the grass isn't always greener, or as green as it looks from here on the other side.

 

[ShortRound]

That is exactly the problem.

Looking back, the years with McCarthy/Quinn, were our best chance. Gonna take a miracle for that to happen again.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

When he made the 500 guys comment it put a hex on the team and the only thing that can fix that is the grim reaper

 

[big dog cowboy]

Then you introduce your new head coach.

I've long believed Jerry likes high powered offense with just enough defense to get by. He wants the Cowboys to light up the scoreboard because it makes for excitement. That philosophy sometimes works to get in the playoffs, but fails to advance very far when it does. He would rather win 38 to 35 than 10 to 3.

 

[Bobhaze]

Jerry used to let people like Jimmy, Big Tuna and Big Mac build his teams. Then he would try to step in for the credit that of course never comes because he screws it up.

He’s like the guy in the story who held his pet mouse so tightly he just choked it to death.

That’s Jerry in a nutshell.

 

[Bobhaze]

Then you introduce your new head coach.

Who’s 82 and would never take this job again for anything.

 

[Rayman70]

Put manicans on the sidelines as coaches and we'd get the same results last night.

 

[Captain-Crash]

lmao we can Boo the team and only buy dak jerseys so it hurts the jones.......
I'd just write threads and support the crap out of this awesome team led by General Jones.......go Jerry.....

 

[CoachD]

When he made the 500 guys comment it put a hex on the team and the only thing that can fix that is the grim reaper

He also made a deal with the Devil and the Devil is collecting big time.

This is why I don't get all the people on this site that like to berate people that have a negative outlook for this team or refuse to buy into Jerry's BS every offseason. There is 0 hope for this franchise with these clowns in charge. I for one refuse to pretend that there is..

IMO the NFL stands for Not For Long for players, coaches and GMs.

Eventually the game changes and either the player slows down, the coaches are stuck in their outdated schemes or the GM just can't build for the current era of football.

What may of been relevant even 10 years ago, may not be now.
I think Bill B is one of the greatest coaches of all time. His drafts were great, he could out scheme anyone, until he couldn't any more.
His later drafts turned out more busts than players, and his ability to confuse offenses went out the window.

 

[Asklesko]

So what you're saying is there's no hope
