Duh. You should've figured that out right after Jimmy Johnson left. Jerry Jones is everything you think that he is. He wants all the credit and none of the blame.
As a fan, there's absolutely NOTHING you can do to change this either. There will be 20 other people who watch the game in your place, who buy the merchandise, and who buy tickets to the games. Even if you got 1000 other people to band together and have a voice, there would be 1000 others who would fall into place.
You can get on here and complain as much as you want, but the truth is that you have no influence on the decisions that are made and you never will. That's a harsh reality for legit, diehards to swallow. It's probably better just to not have a favorite team than to deal with it. The only recourse will be Jerry retiring.
that hits the nail on the head, jerry jones is to blame for some things, thats true. Letting his ego get in the way of letting jimmy johnson go. The dallas cowboys could have won 3 superbowls if he had let jimmy keep the players he wanted and ken norton, kevin gogan hadnt gone to 49ers.
And that is who jerry jones is, His ego, he wants all of the credit. In reality he should because he hires the head coach, he pays the players, etc. Something that jerry jones doesnt realize is this; all jerry has to do is ask troy aikman how he felt about switzer as a head coach, the players have to respect or fear the head coach, believe in him as the head coach, but when the owner is in charge and the players know it, there is little respect for that head coach because the players know they can go to the owner and complain, some of that was changed to that attitude with the letting go of T O, pacman, tank johnson, tony curtis, but the Head Coach must still be in charge, till jerry learns that its tough, but can be done because that happened when jerry hired puppet switzer, but the team was already built and in place iwth leadership of the players, thats something jerry jones hasnt learned yet, you would think in 13 years he would have learned it
But at the same time, we know as real hardcore football fans, the head coach should run the team, period, not the owner.
Just like right now, wr johnny knox in chicago is lighting it up to a degree, but what did we do with ogletree, he is sitting on the bench while last sunday none of our wrs stepped up.
Only way for this team to win to a degree is a tough hard nosed head coach, that doesnt put up with anything from players, will stand up to jerry jones head to toe.
If things do get bad with wade and a bad season, then yes jerry jones might go get a big name coach to keep his new stadium filled, because fans arent going to pay the prices that it cost now with another year of wade, if its a losing season. Jerry will be forced to do something.
However, i am of the mind, go get a young defensive minded head coach or a young urban meyer, but keep in place coaches like jason garrett, or some coaches that the young coach that takes over he has some coaches that have nfl experience. ITs like jerry jones said, with college coaches, there is a learning curve that they have to learn. which means about 2 years to learn the nfl.
this team needs about 3 big things, some play makers;
like when jerry jones went out and got charles haley
play makers like michael irvin and deion sanders
some high draft picks with the talent of a ware.
you only get those players high in the draft
example, when the cowboys were built with jimmy and jerry
troy aikman number one pick overall
russell maryland number one pick overall
michael irvin mid number one pick
alvin harper top 15 number one pick
kevin smith top 15 number one pick
emmitt smith 17th pick in first round
larry allen number 2 pick
erik williams number 3 pick
the highest pick we have had in first round at offensive line was gurode and flozell
bigg leonard davis was a high number one pick
columbo was a top 25 number one pick
yet, you all heard jerry jones said money wise, it costs to much to pay a top 5 pick, yet if you look at top teams they have a few of those high star playmakers on their team;
when jerry jones realizes all of these things, and wade does his job, then things might change
there is always hope because i still feel that romo might turn it on as qb somewhere around his 50th start as a starter, romo is at 41 so far;
we do have some high picks on this team;
leonard davis top 5 pick, you all saw him open holes sunday night
ware a top 11 pick in first round
newman a top 7 pick in first round
roy williams a top 10 pick in first round
so it can be done with romo turning the light bulb on sometime this year;
and wade must get off of his lazy rear end and do his job on defense, stop waiting to fix things, because the offense looks fixed, they have been scoring 30 points or more last 2 games, special teams are doing their job and improving, but defense stinks to a degree because good ole wade isnt dooing his job, thats something that jerry jones should make wade aware of and hold wade responsible
