Has Jerry Spoken yet? Knee jerk, or should some heads roll?

[LarryCanadian]

I saw one news article about a couple words he said in the locker room in hushed tones. The usual about not taking away from a 13-3 season, but disappointed etc.

Just wondered if he has said anything yet.

I think Jerry has to let a bit of loyalty go to the wayside and sacrifice a few lambs. Some change is needed to shake things up.

A couple of players need to go. The guys that just aren't winners. A couple of coaches too maybe? The Special Teams coach? The Secondary coach.

A tone needs to be set now. This is no longer a rebuilding team. It needs to step up. Jerry deserves better for what he's been willing to do of late.

Let Em Roll! Lets See A Reign Of Terror Jerry!!!!

He was seen in the locker room crying w/ TO.

 

[utrunner07]

A little off topic, but did anyone see Romo on that last serious when he was starting to get really frustrated? He wasnt crying was he? He sure was rubing his eyes a lot...anyone else notice this?

Jerry remembers 2007 ...

Because 2008 is really hard to wrap his head around right now.

"This is a first," Jones said, "when we had a team that had the kind of ability that this team had, not to be able to push this thing to a championship game."

As you can imagine, Jerry wasn't too interested in reflection tonight. We posted earlier that he plans on sticking by Wade Phillips as his head coach. But at the same time, he knows how much the 13-3 season is devalued by going one-and-done in the playoffs.

"I don’t want to take anything away from our regular season tonight," Jones said. "But our undoing here tonight undid a lot of things we had a lot of pride in. These players have a right to enjoy their individual honors, but everyone one of them would trade that to be playing here next week. This is very hard."

Yeah, that was the article I saw. Thanks.

So nothing else new.

I'm wondering if Jerry is getting soft. Yes, he made mistakes in the past, especially with Jimmy (who wasn't perfect either), but Jerry is the guy that removed the Legend Tom Landry.

He was cut throat in the early days.

Jerry has been doing everything, even begging guys to stick with the team (Ellis), paying coaches extra (Garrett), giving out millions and millions in bonuses (Bigg, TO, etc), and then rewarding players during the year (Romo, Crayton, Raitliff) and then he gets an EGG delivered in his face yesterday.

Ok, he's loyal and willing to pay money for talent (players and coaches), well he should sure be able to call these folks out when they don't deliver. I think he needs to set a tone here that in Dallas this type of crap needs to stop now that the team is rebuilt. Where's old fire and brimstone, oil baron Jerry. He's too touchy feely right now.

Time to stir up the league again Jerry. Tell Parcells to go pound sand when he starts asking for coaches etc. You don't owe any more favours.

I bet you if Cowher became available, Wade would be gone.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I have an idea. Let's fire our head coach and hire a new one every year until we win it all.

That'll work, I'm sure of it.

Judge a man by what he does when the pressure is on, not when the there is no pressure. I've never been a Wade supporter unless it was him or something worse. (Norv was worse, but I made it clear I didn't like either)

Anyhow, Wade has had several chances to prove himself. Many times with the better team, and each time (now 0-4) he has failed.

Um Cowher is available...

So are you seriously claiming that in each of those four losses he had the better team?

 

[LarryCanadian]

I didn't say fire the head coach. I don't think that is the answer, although some chemistry and balance, with some assistants that are tough on the young guys might be a good mix. Now that might be the case already, I don't know many of the assistants.

But, would the axe on the special teams coach or secondary coach be a HUGE surprise?

I didn't say all four. He had a better team this year, he was better than the Dolphins, and the Broncos were better than the Raiders until they lost two straight to the team. (scored about 70 more points, and gave up 50ish less points) Can't handle big games? Sure appears that way!

The only team he was clearly not better than was the Titans.

...but you know what? He is 0-4 and you cannot argue with that.

I know, I was just kidding you.

Although unfortunately, I think some people really think like that.

I'm all for some changes in personnel, certainly, and even with some coaches. I think the special teams coach has to go. I don't even blame anyone -- as late as Parcells quit, we had to scramble for a coaching staff and Read was all we could find. Hopefully we can find better this coming year, because field position was one thing that killed us yesterday.

Just Pay Cowher whatever it takes and get it done!!

 

[utrunner07]

NO to Cowher! Yes to Jimmy! Seriously though we cant keep changing coaches we need to find a good one and stick with him...should have been Jimmy. Should have would have could have (Wade's moto) not sure what the solution is but promoting Garrett and hiring a STRONG young defensive coordinator sounds should be considered,,not sure Garrett is ready...one thing is for sure its a mess right now. Doubt wade will be gone tough.

They were road underdogs in all but this game. Come on.

You got any coaches we can hire with winning postseason records? It's hard enough to find coaches with winning regular season records.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Although unfortunately, I think some people really think like that.

See, I'm a logical thinker. (Systems Engineer by trade) Some people hate cliches and some people hate quotes from some of the worlds guinues.

Now, logically you have to think. These things are said and "quoted" for a reason. Why you ask? They are true!

Do not judge a man by what he says, judge him by what he does!

Wade Phillips: 0-4 in the playoffs

Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.

Wade Phillips: Good regular season coach, 0-4 in the playoffs.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Fool me four different times with four straight playoff losses. Shame on Jerry for allowing Phillips to return.

 

[THUMPER]

Just Pay Cowher whatever it takes and get it done!!

How many SBs did Cowher win again? Oh yeah one in 15 seasons.

Bill Cowher ain't all that folks, he's just the latest potential savior of the panic-stricken.

 

[YosemiteSam]

With that logic, we shouldn't draft a running back. We should just resign Julius Jones? I mean, he is proven he cannot get it done, but there are no proven running backs on the market and anything in the draft isn't proven. So, Wade and Julius should return next season based on your logic.
