Jerry Jones and Cowboys Are Lost

The Cowboys didn’t just lose to the Bears on Thursday night. They are lost. Stuck in a desert of Jones’ creation, with a coach whom Jones won’t fire and a roster he believes in, but a 6-7 record nonetheless. So where, Jerry, has it gone wrong?

“All these guys are talented enough for me,” Jones said postgame. “I’m questioning how to put together a coordinated [team] that complements each other, that can win a football game.”

Before he could finish his answer, one of two dozen reporters surrounding him butted in: “That’s a question of coaching then!”


Garrett, in his 10th season on the job, is one of six NFL coaches with more than seven years of tenure. Each of the other five has won a Super Bowl. Garrett hasn’t even reached one. His .557 winning percentage is by far the worst of the bunch. His three playoff appearances, and two playoff wins, are less than half as many as any of the other five in his longevity tier.

Those five – Belichick, Payton, Tomlin, Harbaugh, Carroll – have Lombardis. They also have aura and apparent strengths. They do things, during the week or on gameday, that have meaningful, discernible, direct impacts on their teams’ ability to win.

Does Garrett? What, exactly, does Dallas’ head coach do?

He doesn’t call plays. Doesn’t run the defense. Manages the game, but doesn’t do it particularly well. Makes fourth-down decisions, but poor ones, apparently without consulting analytics.

I love these articles.

We all KNOW had crappy Garrett is and we all want him gone!

I wonder if Jerry Jones still thinks the Cowboys are going to the Super Bowl.

I wonder if Jerry Jones still thinks the Cowboys are going to the Super Bowl.

I sure hope not. I honestly think he just says that stupid stuff to the media so he'll get attention. There is no way someone can be that senile.

He just says.....YES......and then claps.

Of course he does.

 

[Legend]

The season was over after the first 3 wins; the Cowboys look like SB contenders and then they went into a conservative shell against Bridgewater and the Saints.

That was very telling of what the coaches thought of the Cowboys team.

Senile no. Dementia yes.

Yes...m

Yes...more for those who don't want to read it

ones won’t get into specifics, so we’re left to observe. Garrett is a marvelous clapper and avid back-slapper, even when things are going awry. He claps indiscriminately during timeouts; after opponent touchdowns; after punts; after Brett Maher pushes yet another field goal wide right. His posture is generally above average. His boyish smile is charming as hell.

But what, at this point, does he do to help the Cowboys win?

He’s not exactly a CEO; that’s Jerry. At best, Garrett isn’t the problem. But there comes a time when all other potential problems have been addressed. Coordinators have come and gone. Two playoff-caliber quarterbacks have taken the reins. The roster has been stocked and restocked. The offense, handed over to 31-year-old coordinator Kellen Moore, has been one of the very best in the NFL.

the glaring things screwing this team up, JJ and coaching...period. It was only a matter of WHEN the house of cards came crashing down...I'm ready to see some of these bum *** players hit the road also.

In my opinion, the reason for the collapse is Jerry himself. His actions alone.

Don't get me wrong, this team wasn't good and wasn't going anywhere under Garrett anyway. In any decent division, the Cowboys are nowhere near any fraud playoff appearance.

But these past few weeks are different. Far worse even that underachieving. We're seeing quitting. And I think the reason why is due to what Jerry Jones is doing. Word is out that he's talked to Urban Meyer. And if that news is known outside the building, you can be sure that it's known inside the building. And if it's known inside the building, everyone inside knows that a major shakeup is coming. And they'll act accordingly. They'll cover their own ***, turn on each other, and check out mentally, looking for the exit. The assistants clearly know that Jones has little if any faith in them, heck he's effectively said so by admitting that he can't fire Garrett now because there's no choice for an interim coach. How would you react to that?

There was already a fire burning, with the realization that Garrett has no answers as the head coach. But Jerry's actions lured gas on it, by showing everyone just how lame his lame duck coach is, and starting his search for a new head coach while the guy is still at work. Say what you want about the Panthers firing Ron Rivera, at least they had the decency to do that before they started the search for his replacement.

Garrett is getting Campo'd.

Garrett is basically relegated to a middle management (no offense to middle managers on here ) role with no direct or perceived authority. He can't really do anything but clap, so over the years he became the best darn clapper in the League. If there was a HOF for clappers, he'd have a bust there. Maybe Jerry will move him to the Cowboys' front office with the role of Chief Validation Officer. Jerry and Stephen can then visit him after another horrendous draft and he can clap them some validation. His office would need a very large spittoon, however, judging from as much spitting as he does on the sidelines.

Agree. Well said! Multiple likes if I could. I wrote a long post last night in the game thread that I almost felt bad for Garrett and that the last few weeks had made me lean toward Jerry being the major issue. I'm not saying JG is a good coach. In fact I agree with a large part of this article. But Jerry should just be man enough to fire him now, use Richard, and then have the balls to fire him also. Just start taking it apart now to see what happens. This issue started years and years ago when Jerry admitted that JG was a coach in training...which is an admission he wasted 2-3 Romo years. Jerry being the football guy has been embarrassing.

I also have a problem with how players come here and take on Jerry's aura of showtime. Every video is the players dressed to the nines, posing, etc. It comes across as the "richest team in the land" vs the best players in the league.

It's clear he doesn't have the proper amount of respect for the position of head coach, no matter who's sitting in the chair.

Entitlement instead of titles. The Cowboys organization acts like they're winners when they haven't won a damn thing in over 20 years. That attitude starts from the top down.
