I don’t know man I think Ben Johnson would bring some much needed hype. Hr could get the diehards back…..
I agree. not sure if Jerry thinks the same way. Jerry doesn't pander to folks like us. die hard fans. he panders to the fringe fans selling the stadium and cowboys experience and merchendize. he knows regardless we will always follow, so we are the base he won't lose (just unhappy), but he loses the fringe fans easily and he has to maintain them.

I would love to have Ben Johnson

I honestly see Jerry hiring Kellen Moore or someone the game has passed by. I won’t get my hopes up but Jerry can’t lie and says he wasn’t impressed by what he did to us.

LOL......Garrett had a strong family connection with Jones. Come again....
Oh, I am not objecting to your statement of fact. That is why Garrett got the job. It is also the reason why it is highly unlikely Ben Johnson would not get the job. My apologies if it seemed like I was saying anything other than that. :)

You’d rather go to the Jaguars who are about to fire Peterson after they just fired Meyer? You’d rather go to the Raiders? Browns with Deshaun? Jets with Aaron Rodger’s as GM? The Chiefs and 49ers jobs aren’t available.

He doesn’t strike me as a guy who needs control in the front office though he will be the biggest name out there so he will have leverage….he sure put a lot out there….screen passes to tackles….sheesh.
I can’t see Jerry hiring Ben or any other young/up and comer coordinator unless paper boy can open up the Eagles offense.

They have $50 million in cap next season and likely a top ten pick
With a bad qb, any head coach will being committing career suicide. I wouldn’t take it with the current QB that needs so much around him to just make the playoffs. That eliminates the ability to get and pay a defense that will win the championship.

The Cowboys aren’t a easy fix.

I don’t think coaching will change our cap problems.

We lack talent everywhere and we don’t have resources to improve.
