News: The Reason For the Cowboys Lack of Success in One Paragraph

[Praxit]

Unfortunately, those days are gone forever. Jerry loves to play grandpa to his big contract players and they are paid more than the coaches. Players that have the big contracts play whether they play well or not. The NFL has become another show business and the big pay stars draw in the customers and big corporate fat cats.

.bro, you tagged that right on the money. NFL is more business then game.

The only chance any future cowboys fans have of seeing a super bowl is if one of Jerry's offspring becomes too lazy to run the team and decides to pay someone competent to do it.

As for us old fans our time has long passed.
We saw the absolute best of Cowboy football. Steven will ruin what's left of our cowboy watching life.

A few playoff wins is all we can expect and after the great cowboy football I saw in my youth I can live with it.

Not that I really have a choice

It sure does appear that way.

I was shocked when we didn't overpay Byron Jones, and that was the first eye opener for me. And then, drafting Osa and BO and Golston and Tyrel and Ridgeway? Those are not Jerry type players. However, we do have the most worrisome Kelvin Joseph pick. That was a Jerry type pick. Aberration? One last fling for the old fert?

Jones backing off from his "wildcatter" ways? Hardly. See 2022 draft -
2nd round pick /56th overall: Sam Williams...a number of off-field issues, one resulting in a suspension from his college team.
5th round pick/ 167th overall: Damone Clark...not the great risk equal to Jaylon Smith - late 5th round selection versus the 2nd. But still - a player with a significant injury that required major surgery - resulting in another Cowboys rookie not playing until his second season.

Cliff notes : The Reason For the Cowboys Lack of Success in one word: Jerry

DAH. No brainer.

Lack of success is because the Owner/GM is incapable of accepting that his way of championship team building does not work.

The only thing surprising is what way they'll bungle up the last game of the year. When they lost that playoff game last year all I could do was laugh. Not surprised at all. I'm used to it.

Coaches come and go and QBs come and go but Jerry is the one consistent.

True but I believe this off season was sneaky good. Draft went well and they have cap space to grab a camp cut or 2.

It took a trick play and Corey Clement passing to Foles to win that game. For what it’s worth the Patriots opened as 6.5 point favorites in that SB

Of course, Brady led teams almost always favored.

That was one play. The Eagles O exploded for 538 yds. Nick Foles was a beast in that game, taking advantage of a terrible NE D. NE was 30th in pass D.

I was happy that they didn't stupidly pay for overpriced big name FA's.

You do realize that great coaches will not come to work for Jerry because they don't get to control the roster and the team like Belicheat. Coaches that do come to Dallas get top dollar but, aren't top coaches. Quinn might be the exception if Jerry would let him run things. McCarthy is a stand around lazy bum who knows little about little.

Yah I know lots of you guys feel that way, but I dont agree. I know Belli wouldnt come here, but Jerry could probably get just anyone he wanted to be the coach.

IMO the issue is the Cowboys are run like a modern corporation. Authority is distributed much more and accountability models are more diverse in corporate America where goals are more wide spread and numerous.

In many corporate strategies the goal is not necessarily to be the best in class. A more driving goal may be to have a 5% gain in market share. So you apply a management model to get that result.

In football or professional sports in general the goal is to win it all. Or at least that is what you should be trying to do.

This simple and singular line of focus year in and year out lends itself much more to a cult of personality approach as opposed to a distributed team approach. This is the reason why it is proven that those who are responsible for the outcomes on the field through their jobs are going to perform with much more urgency and focus than those who have their fingers in many pies.

The system the Cowboys and the Jones family have set up is designed for corporate profit and not enduring and lasting football results year in and year out.

The reaffirmation of this concept to me was this quote:

"After four years of everyone at Valley Ranch tiptoeing around Parcells, Jones was looking for someone he felt comfortable with. He even admitted as much.
"There won't be as much walking on eggshells," he said before catching himself."

Parcells was stubbornly about winning the SuperBowl. His protege, Belichick, is about winning the SuperBowl. Did you every notice how Jerry has avoided any coaches coming directly out of the Parcells and Belichick tree?

I think you come to the Cowboys and the Jones family to coach in the country club. That means taking your seat at the country table and making sure the head table has their hands on the reins. Time will tell which approach is the right one.

In a corporate structure the CEO doesn't hire a Vice President of Operations based on the fact that he is their son.

The Cowboys are not managed as if they are a corporate structure, They are managed as if they are a small town mom & pop grocery store with Billy Bob and Bettie Sue helping out after they feed the critters.

Sad but, sorry to say that all the great coaches work for other teams that bum rush, beat down the Cowboys. We saw that the last few weeks of last season.

All three of Jones' children (Stephen, Charlotte, and Jerry Jr.) are involved with running different entities within the franchise. They will continue being in charge once the father passes on.
But perhaps Stephen will relinquish football operations, i.e. general manager duties to someone else while he handles the executive positions with his siblings.

We could only hope this would happen but I'm not holding my breath he seems to be following in the footsteps of his father

Your right...he did come. He didn't win a championship and Jerry insured his quick departure by bringing in "the player". That was then and he was the last. Now he brings in has beens and never wases. Quinn could be a wonderful hire but, alas he works for fat *** McCarthy.

For what it’s worth KM should have incorporated a Clement into the offense last year somehow some way especially when 21 was on a bad knee part of the year. Now we got Rico Dowdle warming up in the bullpen oh boy ?

 

[RonWashington]

And further up this thread Calling Parcells “ washed up “ when he was in Dallas . Really because in his maiden voyage year in Dallas Jason Witten Terence Newman and Brady James came on board. Parcells wanted to go upstairs at the end and be the chief grocery shopper let a hand picked coach hold the whistle and Jerry couldn’t handle that . Parcells was building here ….

 

[Aven8]

It’s one thing for the Owner to have his own show, but his son too? Smh……

 

[GMO415]

Jimmy ruled same and got the same results.

Jerry will never allow that, hence we're getting the same results for the last 27 years.
