"You're changing a culture. You change when you change the leadership," Jones said. "And certainly we like stability. That's why we stayed with Jason for 10 years and we know these things don't happen overnight in terms of when you turn things around. You throw on top of it that we had an unprecedented environment with the virus and Mike and his staff weren't able to have interactions with the team other than virtual. There's challenges out there but there's a lot of other new staffs that have had the same challenges. You throw that in there, then you throw the injuries that we've had to work with and certainly it's been a big challenge. We'll continue to go to work every day and improve as a football team."

Translation: it’s a process.
we know these things don't happen overnight in terms of when you turn things around........But they do with the right HC we have seen it lol.
If you have the wrong HC, then things dont happen fast, and usually dont ever happen.

You're changing a culture. You change when you change the leadership,.......true, but it depends on the leader you have chosen. Just because
he is new does not mean he is better. you have to look at results, it doesnt take years for noticeable results.
We'll continue to go to work every day and improve as a football team...............working every day does not mean you will improve. If you dont improve
quickly, you probably wont ever under that leader.

we like stability. That's why we stayed with Jason for 10 years.....that was a mistake, a stable mistake, and now they are going to make the same mistake again lol. Stability is only good if things are working good and actually improving.

Results are simply not a priority in Dallas.
Hold on a minute there now. Jerry is killing it in franchise value. Those are the results that get his attention. The ones in the right column of the standings. not so much.

All true. Some just don't get it.

If you have a chance at the next Peyton Manning, Troy Aikman, etc you take it. Lawrence is a unicorn at the QB position.

Well who knows what can happen. The draft is in April and the Cowboys can renegotiate with Dak as soon as January 3. That's the time to start working out a mutually agreeable deal, if not grab Lawrence or get some premium picks to get out of the Top 5 of the first round if we don't win the rest of the way.

It's possible MM may never work out, as so many here have hoped it would. He'll likely be tested for another two years at least before he's cast aside. Let's be patient in the meantime. Things have already started to look better in the here and now. Let's see how much long it lasts before giving up on him and his staff. ;)

But I mean be patient for what?
He was 11-16-1 his last 2 seasons at GB before being fired.
He's 2-3 with Dak. 2-6 without.
He's won a ring. Over 20 years NFL experience.

His staff is 'supposedly' hand picked...

Rodgers publicly questioned his coaching IQ and I don't think it was for click bait social media interests.

Spare me the injuries excuse and reply with what fans should base future optimism on knowing all you know of this current roster's personnel make up, contracts status and coaching staff history.

With all that, what's there to patiently wait on?

I must assume you're of a mind that Jerry will be inclined to please you in your preferences to rid himself of MM at this time. Stop dreaming and deal with the facts. Jerry is talking about stability, i.e., keeping him until such time as he's proven himself unsuitable to continue as HC. We must deal with it.

Suffer if you must but spare us from whining about something that you should know isn't likely to change anytime soon. Keep dreaming if you can't accept reality! To Jerry, stability means keeping those who he's hired indefinitely, 'til he's proven incapable of succeeding in his environment.

Just pointing out basic and most recent patterns of behavior of the HC of the Dallas Cowboys and to which I think is his baseline performance if not being carried by his previous team's HOF QB.
I have no vested interest either way concerning him retaining his job.
Just offering one more opinion as to why my opinion is that he is not the right choice here.

Just my opinion, I know Jerry could care less.

This was about the worst argument for keeping McCarthy that the front office could make.

If they had left that out and stuck with the unprecedented environment, injuries, etc., it would have been hard to debate that.

But stability and Jason Garrett, no Cowboys fan wants to hear that.

We all have opinions. You have as much right to express yours as anyone else. Let's see what MM does here before giving up on someone we'll likely have to live with for sometime to come. Until then, complaining won't resolve anything, other than to foster dissatisfaction. Let's hope things get better before they get worse. We just finished playing well enough to cause Pittsburgh to struggle against us. Seems like progress to me.

This team sucks. Why even watch their trash product.
You're a great fan and a great poster here.

I knew all along youd be disappointed.

I didnt think the kid would confirm it within hours but let's see what happens.

Jets have a pulse at least.

well we have no choice but to go along with things.
Just the fact that SJ immediately announces that they are going back to dalton though makes me give up on the whole thing.
And jerry or sj saying dak and MM are the future lol, the 3 stooges were dumb, but at least they were funny, with the dallas stooges, they are even dumber,
and it is no longer funny.
