I don't agree with Gosselin very often, but I think his case is well presented here and sums up what I feel is a major contributor to this team' s struggles.
Jerry Jones apparently has decided that coaching was not the problem in the underachievement of his Cowboys in 2013.
Jones said a month ago that head coach Jason Garrett was safe and, as the days and weeks have passed, it appears coordinators Bill Callahan on offense and Monte Kiffin on defense are safe as well.
With the money Jones has tied up in this staff, who can blame him? Kiffin, Callahan, Rod Marinelli and Rich Bisaccia are all big-ticket items. Firing assistant coaches each year for a team’s shortcomings can become an expensive proposition for Jones.
If the voices don’t change, Jones would be wise to press his staff to change its approach. What the Cowboys are doing isn’t working.
Let’s hope the Jones family, like the rest of us, watched the playoffs on television last weekend to see just what is working in the NFL these days. In particular, what is working in the NFC.
If the Cowboys hope to one day compete with the San Franciscos and Seattles for NFC titles and Super Bowls, they need to do two things: Run the ball and play defense.
Both are foreign concepts to this coaching staff.
The 49ers and Seahawks, who meet for the NFC title on Sunday, finished in the NFL’s top five this season in both rushing and defense. That combination provides the backbone of their Super Bowl aspirations.
