If the Cowboys want to land a coach like Holmgren, or Cowher, or, for that matter, Schottenheimer - i.e. coaches who can instill a sense of accountability into this very talented roster - Jerry Jones is going to have to give up a tremendous amount of control.
The problem isn't the coach. Well, it is. But with the right coach, this team could be exceptional. But Jones appears to want a sycophant, not a ball coach, as evidenced by the fact that the Cowboys had such a coach in Parcells, but Jones wouldn't let him off the leash.

Well, let me clarify: I think coaches who try to double as GMs get in way over their heads. It just doesn't work, IMO.cowboyz;2533073 said:actually i go the other way. those coaches want to be their own GMs. coming to dallas, they get to be their own GMs. whereas most places they wouldn't be.
not like parcells was run out of town. he quit because this team was killing him.
i think where JJ runs into trouble is when he hires HCs not ready to be their own GM. the pushover coaches that can't run an organization by themselves which then depend upon Jerry to make football decisions.
i agree it doesn't work. hence why every HC has been stripped of it.mwjr;2533175 said:Well, let me clarify: I think coaches who try to double as GMs get in way over their heads. It just doesn't work, IMO.
Jerry should hire a GM, and let the GM hire the coach. IMO, that's the best way to fix it.
