The one coach whose headstone has already been etched is Scott Linehan.

Linehan has one friend in the building: Jason Garrett. Everybody else has abandoned him.

Jerry needs to walk up to Garrett today and say, "Look, you're calling the plays the rest of the year, period. Do whatever you need to do, but make it happen. Get us on track."

And with that, Jason has to fire Linehan and make it appear to be his idea.

Then, the teams sinks or swims with Garrett at the helm. No more excuses.

Jerry is growing restless. That's quite obvious.

Minny did it last year and it saved their season. Doesn't necessarily mean the season is over if it happens. Change in general can be good. Linnehan has called some absolutely terrible games this year.

Jerry is not as smart of a GM as he thinks he is. He has not been able to figure out the root cause of the issue. He had a rotten coaching tree in his back yard and instead of chopping it off at the roots and re planting a new tree, he just cut off a few branches. Well guess what that rotten tree is still in his backyard.

I thought Stephen said change isn't necessarily good?

Yes, b/c history has proven that Garret is capable of such feats. Thanx for that re-write.

Let's give credit to Scott Linehan for making Dak look like a decent QB in his first year. I doubt Linehan is the primary issue with Dallas, I believe the QB and HC are much more areas of concerns than the OC. If you look at the all-22 tape, receivers are getting open for big plays week in and week out but Dak doesn't throw them the football. In both games, Tony Romo has broadcasted for Dallas he pointed out the lack of anticipation from the QB and the lack of aggressiveness of the HC. We can call for Linehan to fall on the sword but once he's gone nothing will change.

At this point, any actions taken by the Cowboys will be attributed to Jerry Jones regardless of whether that is accurate or not.

Well, Jerry has put himself in that position with numerous public proclamations over the years about he is the final authority on every decision. Stephen may have been promoted to making the actual phone call, but his daddy made the final decision. There is no reason to think otherwise.
