For many years now, Cowboys fans have sung the same refrain of complaint: Jerry is ruining the team, the players are not accountable, there's no discipline, if only Jimmy were still here, etc.
The confusing thing is - none of this accountability part sounds hard at all. It sounds like Management 101 stuff.
If a player keeps playing badly, cut or demote him.
If a player has bad off the field issues, cut him.
Keep churning the bottom of the roster; someone who's undrafted or a 7th-rounder may still be a diamond in the rough, like Romo.
Don't insist on starting someone just because he's a first rounder or paid a lot.
Structure all contracts to the benefit of the team, not the player.
Reward the lunch pail, blue collar type of guy. Draft and sign those guys.
Ditch the prima donna guys.
All of this is stuff that any business undergrad student or casual Zoner on this board could come up with. Is it so hard that an NFL head coach - one of only 32 in the whole nation - can't?
