Fisher: Schottenheimer over Deion is Stephen's idea

[fivetwos]

Yes but will Stephen go 30 years as a GM failure and still insist on not hiring a real one? That can be what separates him from his father. This clearly isn't working, let me bring someone in.

Agreed, but he would still hold the checkbook, and that “GM” would still be required to use the draft only to improve, which has been proven to be impossible….yet they think they have already done that, just got unlucky. Would also limit who they could attract, similar to not wanting to pay for a coach, and announcing exactly that publicly.

Of course any major FA signing is run past the owner, but most of them actually want to try to win and realize that the presence of their own greatness in the building alone isn’t going to get that done.

There’s no hope. We are beat at every angle

ESPN IS SAYING DEION DECLINED COWBOY JOB.

No worries. We wouldn't have been able to pay him more than 30K a year anyways

I get the Carr lament b/c he never lived up to his contract. 50M made Carr one of the highest paid DBs in the league and he was never elite. I don't even think he made a pro bowl in Dallas. He was solid but we overpaid for him.

That is no excuse to throw in the towel and give up on free agency when Philly and Washington are lapping us in the talent acquisition department.

One of the biggest issues with Brandon Carr (and Morris Claiborne as well) was that he was signed to be a press man corner in Rob Ryan's scheme, and beat guys up at the LOS. After year 1 of the contract, Ryan was fired and replaced with Monte Kiffin, who had his corners playing zone, which was not a strength of either Carr or Claiborne. The lack of football philosophy with the Jones Boys is as much to blame as Carr for the production issue.

Good luck to the PR department on figuring out how to spin this into looking like McCarthy, Moore and Sanders didn’t ALL turn them down and Schottenheimer was the choice all along.

Jerry fully deserves what’s coming.

The last thing Stephen would want to see is Deion and his entire Entourage take over the Facility

Let's keep it real here

Yep. The Star is a country club and Schotty is Stephens’ buddy. Winning doesn’t matter as long as the money is printing and the ole boys and their friends are running the show

They've done pretty well with it so far. I mean, nearly 30 years and the value of the team has grown exponentially. I mean, the valuation by Forbes in 2024 was $10 billion, double the team's $5 million valuation in 2018.

I get it, but my complex algorithm details it pretty well. They coasted off the superbowls and right before crashing brought in Parcells. He built a solid team, then we went from Romo to Dak.

I don't believe the fanbase will tolerate another era of pre-Parcells type teams. We are too far removed from success. No teenagers just getting into sports are being drawn towards Dallas. The fathers that held the line are disgruntled and losing interest. I think it begins to catch up. Also, I have no algorithm.

Let Charlotte run the team. She seems smarter...at least smart enough to let a real GM handle football while they make more money by winning SBs. Simple concept

This right here.

Charlotte is the brains of the family. Let her run the team.

Really have to hope the grandkids are not morons and then start eating healthier so we live long enough to find out!

There's a reason why the mayor of Dallas was only half-joking about bringing in another NFL team to play in the City of Dallas.

It would never happen, as Jerry would block it at the owners' level. Plus, the city is in no position to upgrade the Cotton Bowl to an NFL facility.

But there is so much angst against the Cowboys organization that if another team came in, they would steal a good chunk of the local fan base.

It doesn't get any more official than Fish.

what's wrong with this Fish guy?

 

[charron]

Of course because Deion doesn't care about Stephen. Deion cares about Jerry.

 

[Wildcat711]

I wonder what they pay themselves..... does Jerry get more than Stephen..

I assume they do at least for tax purposes

 

[DOUBLE WING]

It's glaringly obvious that Stephen was bullied in high school.

 

[Chasing6]

He would have to pay the GM with money..

You think a new GM would get paid more than Jerry does.

 

[Chasing6]

Deion is going to wait and see who drafts his son. Expect Deion to be coaching in NY next season.

 

[ak47kaehu]

SMH at Stephen.......what a complete cheapskate and bafoon!

This.

If I hadn't lived through the 90's and hadn't suffered through the late 80's, I'd be gone. I'd be...a Bengals fan, if for no other reason than I like their helmets. I'm 49...too old to create die hard loyalty somewhere else. I'm on the verge of total indifference for a team I once cried over at the age of 15. I hate you, Jerry.

 

[eromeopolk]

It was Stephen that was going to put his father through the wall for signing Primetime the player back in 1995. Stephen is cheap and Jerry is crazy. This is the Arlington Jonesboys.

 

[Mannix]

Chuckles and his size 8 5/8 head is a human wrecking ball to the organization....and its not even his damn money...yet.

Same bro, we are on the same damn time line. All I can do is tune out. No way to replicate those memories or that passion.
