I did mean Ben Johnson, yes. Jerry needs to understand that his preferences are holding this franchise back from taking the next step. His Super Bowls were won by coaches with no NFL experience. I have no idea why he's stuck in this loop of retreads. Parcells was a smart move. We needed a cultural rebuild and he corrected course. Second best hire of JJ's tenure as GM. He tempered that momentum by hiring Wade, a great defensive mind, but a weak leader. He screwed up even worse with his decade long science experiment in Garrett, who had very limited coaching experience btw.
McCarthy was a safe hire. He moved the needle a bit and we saw some maintained consistency, but postseason results didn't change. We need a guy that will inspire these guys. Sure, they fought for Mike and Q, but we need a guy that these guys will go to war for every Sunday. Marcus Freeman and Dan Lanning are those guys. Leaders of men with heart, passion, and fire. Another safe hire won't do anything. There isn't a single retread out there that can inspire this team like these guys, and surely JJ has to see this. Belichick maybe could've been that guy, but the Jones clan was too slow and showed no urgency. Hopefully they don't wait until all of the good ones are snatched up before making a move. Saleh is a step in the right direction, but there are stronger coaching prospects out there. The front office just needs to pick up the phone and make the calls. That's literally the only thing standing in the way of a bright future in Dallas. Hopefully JJ sobers up long enough to figure it out.
