your wrong in a way about jimmy johnson, granted he himself helped the cowboys win 2 superbowls;
Dont forget that the team was built that went to championships in NFL NFC to 1998 knocking on the door, and the team that won the superbowl in 95 was basically Jimmy Johnson's team that he built.
I still think to this day if Jerry Jones had kept and paid to keep free agents Kevin Gogan, Mark Stepnoski, Ken Norton Jr and theres a few others but their name escapes me now, you would have seen the cowboys win 4-5 superbowls,
Sure Jimmy Johnson most likely would have left in after the 94 season, thats his legacy, look at wherever he has been oklahoma st, miami, he stays there and then leaves after 5 years mostly.
now as far as what jimmy johnson would have done, cut somebody i agree with you, but your thinking about whom he cut in the wrong way,
jimmy johnson never cut starters period, did he threaten them like he did with charles haley, yessssssss. But he kept starters.
Lets look at some of the players he cut, to send a message;
Curvin Richards
Jimmy Smith, yes the great wr, but not a starter, (here jimmy didnt do the
3 year rule on players from tom landry)
John Roper
in other words look jimmy johnson never cut starters but cut players that were fringe players and didnt do their jobs, i cant think of the linebackers name right now, but he fell asleep in drills and the cowboys had just gotten him that day or day before, jimmy cut him after the nap,
did jimmy cut leon lett when he made those 2 big stupid plays no, jimmy always had a eye for talent when players played on the field, thats the key, keep good players and cut others that dont do their job and keep messing up
there was a kicker that elliot that messed up, jimmy cut him and told him you never will kick in the nfl again, i will see to that, the kicker never did
thats who you cut
now lets look at who you have to cut on your list;

Here is a list of possibilities:
- Bobby Carpenter
- Jason Hatcher (has Bowen moved ahead of him?)
- Roy Williams (probably can't cut him because of injury - injury settlement?)
- Brad Johnson (my mom is available to replace him)
- Flozell Adams (I know, in my dreams)
Other suggestions?
First, you can get something for Bobby Carpenter, and now with bradie james hurt, you have to play carpenter, but parcells wants bobby carpenter bad so there is a trade after the year if carpenter doesnt pan out the next few games, now the cowboys will know if bobby has it or not, due to james's injury
Tony Curtis, could be a possibilty to cut, i think jimmy would have cut him and brought up rodney hannah from practice squad
Proctor, yes i think jimmy would have cut him and played Holland or berger
Justin Rogers may have cut him too, he blew one of the blocks that allowed mcbrair to be cut, thats who you cut backup players that arent playing well
