The other reasons this HC job is unattractive

[fivetwos]

MM ran as fast as he could. he was in the assylum and saw first hand the craziness

I think there’s something to that. He may have stayed for crazy money, which was never going to happen. Then they were shocked that he didn’t want to hang around for more of the same.

Blind to reading the room, and think a whole lot of themselves and what a privilege it is to work for them. I believe they were genuinely surprised.

Mike didn’t accomplish what he was brought here for and had five years to do it, but the fact remains they also didn’t sign one significant free agent during his entire run. I’m not sure how that ever going to add up to a winning strategy. I’d ask anyone to please point out the teams that got anywhere near a SB with that plan.

oh, jerry wanting an incentive based coaches contract. awsome. and then he wants to buy the ingredients, like Zeke and then tell the coaches to play them. and then hold them accountable for results.

So what's the point? You and you're old little friends, mostly BobHaze and Zrinkill, have all devolved into just old men yelling at clouds.

There is a marked difference between proclaiming old men yell at clouds and totally disregarding George Santayana's eternally accurate life lesson.

Don't know him, don't know his "life lesson". Also, I don't really care what it is. I seen I've been defeated by the 60+ crowd. I'll leave you all to these this thread, along with all the others, to constantly complain about Jerry. Like you said, he doesn't hear it or even know you exist so I'm not sure of the point. Therapy maybe? They have people you can go to for that.

Understood. There have been and will always be billions of other people, who do not know or care either. It is one of humanity's unfortunate traits.

lol. Talking is therapy.

It is as I have said for a very long time. CowboysZone is a place for Cowboys fans to vent also.

not much different than Hurts, goff, love, etc....so why are they able to sign FAs, and be competitive and we are stuck in mud.

cap management. his salary is about 5M more than Goff, yet detroit went 15-2. only about 7M more than Hurts, and they got the second seed. and they signed barkley this off season.
Detroit top 6 salaries, is 170M. cowboys 163M. Philly, 193M, yet they signed top notch FAs, and stayed competitive. we keep hearing But Dak Contract!!!

you have bought into what stephen and jerry want to sell, due to your emotional bias against Dak. so you are parroting them, which is exactly what they want. so they don't have to spend in FA and lay out a lot of cash. that's all it is.

now, does he deserve it? a whole other issue and discussion and there is 18373 thread on that alone. I advocated for both parties to walk away from each other and it would be best for both, but idiot GM had no QB under contract for 25, and no plans and milked the contract publicity until the last hour. literally.

Great post.

That's the case why are you still around I mean that's his point do nothing but complain 24/7 I mean if the Cowboys weren't worth it anymore why are you spending extra time I mean you must have value in your time why are you using it just to complain about a product you no longer support because if you're still a Cowboys fan after all this knowing what you know then why are you still around i don't get it!!

Here's the problem with your philosophy explain to me why so many years have passed and yet Dallas is still in the top three in Super Bowl wins they're still number two overall in win percentage over their history they still are right now top 6IN regular season win percentage over the last decade I mean it seems like they're still filling the stadium up but other teams have not literally passed them yet guys who support the Cleveland Browns I see him come out in the snow their fan base literally hasn't even had division title since 1989 so what's your point?!?

I keep trying to explain how sports work it's reciprocal things will eventually circle back around because right now there's still only three teams in the NFL since 1990 because right now there's still only three teams in the NFL since 1989 that have three or more Super Bowl titles and that would be one of them the Dallas Cowboys how are they still in that group after all this time if it was so easy just stacking championships I mean literally it was the New England Patriots and now and I'm gonna end with this Kansas City Chiefs 'cause they're the new dynasty these are all dynasties these are teams that got on a roll and stayed on a roll for a significant amount of time they figured it all out it does come around eventually back around and that's why I'm bringing up the Kansas City Chiefs last they had a 56 year drought in Super Bowl wins that's twice as much almost right there are other teams that have zero Super Bowl appearances there's some that have no Super Bowl wins at all and like I said there are teams that struggle to even get in the playoffs the Dallas Cowboys have been in the playoffs 5 at the last eight years am I happy that they're not getting the championship games or Super Bowls no I'm not but I'm not gonna complain about it because I choose to be a fan and I understand what that means and I understand the history I understand the current situation I don't need to be told and reminded of a drought that's not even the worst in NFL history but far and by far not the worst in any sports...

And I would just add PS that the other 3 sport in our general DFW area which would be The Mavericks the Rangers and the stars only have 3 total titles ever like amongst all three together they have 3 Jerry has three I mean we keep making that a point of emphasis and I get it we need to get back to the NFC championship game some of them have been closer but the Texas Rangers up until 2023 has never won a championship and they're very rarely even competing for one they're usually pretty bad and yet somehow now they're being talked about as well look they have a title recently but Jerry doesn't know Jerry has three the other three teams have three you see the problem here and overall Jerry has three the old regime only had two and I realize they got back tomorrow championship games and lost but they got there I get the whole concept but that isn't winning Super Bowls Jerry has three Super Bowls he has some credit with a lot of us not that we support him but we support the Dallas Cowboys we're not going to sit 24 hours a day seven days a week and complain about something that's a choice...​

​

Look I'm as frustrated as anyone else with my sports teams when they don't win it and they're not in it for a very long time this is not something I'm happy about but it's something I accept this is just what it is and someday we will be rewarded for our patience but in the mean time we're gonna sit here and defend the team because that's what's important not Jerry the team when people are just lifting their leg on the team 24 hours a day you're damn right you're gonna have responses like this from some of us..​

Wow, thank you for the detailed explanation on how the NFL works and why Dallas is an elite franchise. I appreciate your well thought out musings about, well everything. And I receive your words with great alacrity with a great sense of optimism towards the Cowboys future. As you so eloquently stated, we are in good hands for the next several decades to come.

Well said. One of my favorite posts since the season ended.

I never said that you're using sarcasm to try to counter and it doesn't work for me 'cause I'm the king of sarcasm but I can tell you this it doesn't matter what you think the next several decades are gonna be it doesn't matter what you think next year is gonna be we have zero choice 0 control over any of this except to support the team and hope for a good season for me a year to year commitment and it's week to week during the year and we just reset every year and stop holding on to the past or worried about the future this is sports this is something we do to entertain destress or distract ourselves from daily lives it's some of us it's more of a passion than others like I like all other sports but the Dallas Cowboys are entrenched in me that's why they call us die hard cowboy fans where Cowboys fans for life will defend the star no matter who's running it we'll have equal hope each year then it gets better we're allowed to do so we just do not hold grudges we do not add conditions to our fandom we just reset every year we just pray it's gonna be a better season than last....

You all keep holding on to this it can't be good for your blood pressure or your health it's literally a sport you have a choice whether you follow this team or another if you don't like the way it's run then you either accept it or you move on because trying to convince me why I should be angry at Jerry Jones 24 hours a day I just don't listen to what he has to say anymore I don't believe anything has to say I just wait and see what happens and then we can discuss and debate what's really going on including the coaching search everyone's already been out of shape on who we might hire how about we wait to see who is hired and then discuss it?

No! Please don't go! </sarcasm>

You won't be missed. And go see your own therapist about your control freak urges.

 

[kskboys]

Isn't there already a thread about this full of complaining about Jones? Seriously, can we just start a new forum threads where all the Jones complaints can go? I get it, I really do. But I'm tired of reading it, ad nauseum, in every single thread.

Holy Larry, why in hades did you click on this thread? I mean, it's obvious what this thread was about. Title was very clear. You just looking for a reason to complain?

 

[kskboys]

I'll never understand the Cowboys thinking when it comes to signing outside FA's. They don't need to sign those big name big dollar players. But at least sign some decent players and not bargain bin one year stop gap players.

It comes from being awful at player evaluation. Don't forget the misevaluations on Brandon Carr, Mo, Cedric Thornton, Roy Williams, etc. We have a non-football guy in charge, and it shows, shows mightily. I wish someone would ask Jerry why the afforementioned failed. Betcha a hill of beans he has no clue.

Sure, why not? It's what everyone else does constantly.

Don’t see how the Cowboys HC job could be unattractive when practically everyone who’s been associated with the team has had success off the field. Look at Aikman, Moose, Romo, Jimmy and Jason Garrett just to name a few. Being associated with the Cowboys has opened up a lot of doors.

I will always be a fan of the Cowboys regardless how bad they get. I will always second guess and complain about Jerry's stupidity, just like I raved about his genius in the early 90's.

Every fan has that right.

Yes I agree on all points. It’s amazing some get mad when you express an opinion on an opinions forum lol.

 

[kskboys]

Complaining about an aspect of the team is an entirely different matter than complaining that you don't like a thread subject matter.

 

[blueblood70]

Long live the king.

Still not moving the needle you better up your sarcasm game 'cause this is just like borderline pink it's just cute I mean were you wearing a pink hello kitty hat when you said that?'Cause that's how I'm picturing you
