Hey dooms,
What do you think the response will be from some of the coaches, etc. you talk to? I would guess it's just evidence Jerry is back in the Captain's seat, huh?
I have to be honest, from the people I spoken with, they don't understand the move. Most people believe the Cowboys are a decent coach away from really competing. Every single person says the same thing: Norv is a great guy, terrific offensive mind, but not a head coach. But the big problem goes back to no one really wants the job. Can you imagine 15 years ago Bob Stoops saying he isn't interested? Not interested? This is the Dallas Cowboys for Christ sakes. One GM told me as soon as Jerry started hiring people before he appointed a head coach, the big name coaches had no interest. Every good coach wants to bring in his people, the guys he trusts and understand how the head coach operates. Think of this. The Cowboys make a play for Bill Belichick. Can you imagine Jerry Jones telling him who his coordinators would be? Bill Cowher? Jeff Fisher? Jimmy Johnson? Of course not.
I got a call yesterday from a respected personnel guy in the NFL. I was talking with him about another matter. Before we hung up, I asked what he thought about the Dallas situation. He responded with, "You know how many people in the world are talented enough to be an owner, president, CEO and GM all at once? None." So, there is an opinion from someone who has more than one Super Bowl ring and knows a hell of a lot more about football than I do.
