I was listening to Bob Sturm on The Ticket earlier this week and he continues to ask the same question he’s asked for years: “What is Jerry Jones‘ team building philosophy? In short, what kind of team does he try to build?”
The truth is none of us know. He doesn’t talk about it, it’s not obvious in the types of teams we’ve had, especially the last 5 years. It’s just a collection of players. Some good, some not. But there does not seem to be any kind of core philosophy that guides this organization. Other than $$$$$$.
Look at the differences in our last 6 head coaches: Gayley, Campo, Parcells, Wade, Garrett, McCarthy. All of those guys have a wide variety of offensive and defensive philosophies. That’s because the only philosophy our GM has is making himself the centerpiece and mouthpiece of everything.
The Cowboys football roster building organization is a rudderless ship. An old, washed out 82 year old captain is at the ship’s wheel, and he has run into the same iceberg for nearly three decades. And he thinks he’s the best person to lead us back to glory. After 29 straight strikeouts. It’s lunacy.
