T.O., Wade Phillips, Joe DeCamillis and we can add the Krakken and Carr to this list next year once we cut or dont sign them again. This is not a thread that we should have kept or paid all of these players to stay. To take it further, I would venture to say that we should not have paid many of them based on their performance on or off the field. The point of this thread is to state that when we they left we thought they were all done, yet they left playing poorly (all but TO) and then they perform better for their new teams.

This points to the culture of the Dallas Cowboys. Im not placing the blame at anyone in particulars feet, but there is something wrong with the culture of the Dallas Cowboys and it funnels down to the product on the field.

This is nothing new. This is genuine Jerry Jones to the T.

Nothing will change. Jerry will be Jerry and he'll run the ship as he pleases.

There should be a law that NFL teams don't really BELONG to an owner ... as in, the owner cannot do as he pleases. NFL teams are public property, and the owner is only a steward who shares in the riches. But an owner cannot play fantasy football with is NFL team. Stewardship must be passed along once the current owner is deemed incapable.

20 years says Jerry Jones is incapable.

 

[CATCH17]

Garrett will fix it.

Exactly,

we're missing more than a GM. We need a visionary with intelligence and a backbone!

Sadly, I don't have much faith that it will change much under Stephen. I think he too will wear the title of GM and continue on 1) making money, 2) trying to build a football team.

Every single one of the guys mentioned in the OP were let go at the right time.

I think Stephen is the one behind this Garrett thing that has ruined the Romo era.

This is a point I and others have tried to make for a very long time.

The culture is broken and it does have a source of blame. It is our pathologically optimistic executive leadership that does not react to something unless it is slapping them across the face. And even if the light suddenly comes on, it is several years too late and there are other new cracks in the dam that have to be plugged.

The culture in Dallas suggests that there are a myriad of external sources that are causing pain, rarely internal failure because we are very poor at self-evaluation.

 

[Alexander]

I think you are assigning him too much blame because it is far too painful to assume he has been resisting the things that we do. I think he is exactly like his father and no more or less culpable.

 

[visionary]

Garrett already fixed it.

FIFY

 

[Zordon]

We're a country club....seriously.

Last week I got a big pamphlet in the mail from the Cowboys for the new facility in Frisco. On the back cover it said 'Where the Country Club meets the NFL.'

 

[mugsybows]

its a process.

 

[Alexander]

Every single one of the guys mentioned in the OP were let go at the right time.

Fiscally, probably. But we had ourselves in the position by who we drafted, when and how the resources were allocated. Most if not all of them were released because they did not fit into our cap matrix. You cannot say it was the "correct" thing to do while ignoring what made it "correct" in the first place.

Yep ... the Jones Dynasty needs to be dismantled. That's the only way we're going to see another Super Bowl trophy. This isn't a mom and pop shop which is handed down to the kids. There's too much at stake here, and the Cowboys are public property. They do not belong to the Jones'.

The Cowboys are public property? What, we are the Packers now and our executive leadership can be held accountable by the share holders? Excellent!

There's a little bit of revisionist history here.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Have to laugh seeing wade phillips with a dominate defense. Idk why he couldnt here

 

[Doomsday101]

I think Dallas has to mold their own identity instead of looking at last years winner and trying to emulate. We draft players to fit into a system then we change the system and I think it has a lasting effect.

 

[Duane]

Garrett will fix it.

There's nothing some hand clapping won't fix.
