Jerry is stuck in a 90s pre-salary cap, no free agency time loop.

Cause: Failed concecutive seasons with (non head coach) Dave campo.
Effect: Lead to big name, too old, out of touch hire in Parcells.
Jerry, “I get it. I get it. I do.”

Then cream puff hire, non head coach hire in Phillips.

Cause: Now. Failed decade of (non head coach) Garrett.
Effect: Lead to big name, too old, out of touch hire in McCarthy.


Moral of story. He will get it... only for a short while. Then go back to being Jerry.

Pretty much, but putting McCarthy in the same box as Parcells is a stretch. Parcells did turn around the culture here for awhile, with a junk roster. I am not optimistic on McCarthy.

Comparing Campo's performance here to Garrett's is really a stretch. 87-70 with a coach of the year award is certainly a far better performance than three straight 5-11 season.


Garrett had Romo and Dak.
Wasnt “comparing” anyway.

What I get from McCarthy is he won’t be poor in game manager.
We should win games we should win.
I hope he can figure a way to cover the screen pass (shakes head)

When in the world did 56 become “too old”. Coaches as old or older are among the most successful in the NFL. Bellichick, Harbaugh, Carroll, Reid, Zimmer, Payton ... all as old or older.

Parcells out of touch...really...He took a 5-11 team to the Playoffs...drafted multiple future HOF players...rebuilt the Cowboys to a great team..Had he stayed for the 2007 year...there no telling how good and far they would have gone...Not even close to correct on Parcells...McCarthy hasn't even coached in Dallas..How about we see what he does with this team.....
No kidding. I was about to point out the same thing. The Cowboys were an absolute embarrassment before they brought in Parcells. A lot of fans attempt to downplay his impact in Dallas by pointing to the lack of playoff wins but you have to understand that the man was handed a steaming hot pile of poo when took this job. You know......those wonder years where Jerry Jones was basically making decisions unilaterally....so the results weren't surprising.

Anyone notice that Jerry has not had any press conferences of late?

I don't even fault Campo for those years. Jerry Jones deserves blame for that three year stretch of futility. The salary cap was a mess, there was very little talent on the team, and the drafts were some of the worst in recent Cowboys history. You'd be hard pressed to find a worse three year stretch of draft picks by the Cowboys. None of those issues fell into the lap of Campo.

I'll give Campo credit. Despite all the odds being stacked against him his teams usually played hard and kept games competitive. The Eagles used to always rip them a new one but aside from those Philly games, rarely did they get blown completely off the field.

Knowing what I know now, if Garrett were made to coach under similar conditions I doubt he could match Campo's 5 wins.

No. I agree. I explained later that I was driving and thought Mike Holmgren.
Apologies.
