Firing everyone is a popular idea until - then what?

[GoCowboysGo]

I only want to fire all Jones’s from anything to do with the franchise.

 

[Cowboy4ever]

Let Dak run the offense and Q run the D.. honestly, how much worse would it be

 

[JayFord]

What would it matter?

Seriously…

If you fired every coach on this team can we guarentee you wouldnt get the same results youve been getting?

 

[DandyDon52]

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

you gave me an idea lol why not have a team of AI agents coach the team ??
An AI HC, micro second decisions lol.
It almost could not be worse, and jerry and cap boy would like it as you dont have to pay an AI ,just pay server costs.

 

[shabazz]

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

You've made this declaration after a whole 5 games?

Some "fans"

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.

Who would Jerry be able to hire ? Ben Johnson and Sean Payton are taken . Mcavey won’t be available as his boss who owns the rams is a much bigger billionaire and winner than Jerry.

 

[Havic]

Id keep Parker but get a consultant to help him and if there is no improvement by seasons end he has to go.
Shotty needs to go
A real headcoach can be hired from OUTSIDE the organization.

 

[irishline]

He only played at Arkansas because he was born affluent and wealthy.

I hate Jerry Jones, but this is not true. His family was a middle class/upper middle class family. And far from affluent.

Was Jerry Jones Born into Money?

Now I hate you for making me type that (I kid, I kid... but it did hurt).

Did you read the OP? No one is coming to the rescue.

this would be the smartest. but who knows, im not expecting Jerry to change after 30 years.

 

[nightrain]

My guess is Schottenheimer would cut everyone loose, if he has that authority, to keep his job.

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

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.

Rich kotite and Dave Campo were around football for a long time. Doesn't mean your good at it.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

It makes me wonder if part of the problem is that Jerry sees this team as successful. Financially, it actually is. I think the Cowboys might even me the most valuable sports franchise in the world. Then there's some modest success on the field since Super Bowl XXX that he can point to:

Since Super Bowl 30....
NFC East Titles: 9
1996, 1998, 2007, 2009, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2023

Wildcard Berths: 4
1999, 2003, 2006, 2022

Playoff appearances: 13

Playoff victories: 5

If you showed that to someone who doesn't know American Football, they might be impressed. And every one of those are things that the team should want. It's just that, they're all milestone goals to get to the goal of a Super Bowl title. You want to win your division so that you might be able to go to the Super Bowl. The same thing is true of wildcards, playoff appearances, and playoff wins. It makes me wonder if Jerry sees that and thinks it means the team is doing well.

I'm on record already. Let this prideless group of athletes figure it out on their own at this point.

 

[StarLord]

As long as he’s breathing, Jerry will be large and in charge. His skull is too think and his skin is too thin for him to ever admit fault or failure.

If he ever says anything is his fault it’s in the same discussion on why he fired the latest scapegoat. Accountability for himself and his son? Zero.

As long as Jerry is doing the hiring…The next coach of the Dallas Cowboys is someone no other team would hire.

I wish his skull was too think!

 

[JW82]

I'll take my chances on the devil I don't know over the clown I do know.

 

[MikeT22]

Schotty is likely among the lowest-paid head coaches in the league. His contract is not really gonna be an issue here.

Jerry has routinely devalued HCs since Jimmy. He only hires one because the league wont allow an owner to be the actual HC.
That is what Jerry means when he talks about the Cowboys “unique structure”. He considers himself the defacto HC and usually hires low paid puppets to wear the headset on the sidelines.

I thought it was allowed. Didn't Al Davis coach his Raiders at one point?

Yeah, you really shouldn't just fire everyone—and you shouldn't fire ANYONE until you have diagnosed exactly what's going on and decided that the person(s) in power are not capable/willing to fix the identified problems.

 

[basel90]

Read it. But who would a capable GM , ostensibly after Jerry moves on, hire ? Unless Stephen is a mold of Jerry. I have a feeling the team will eventually be managed by the family committee , Stephen , Jerry Jr and charlotte.
