Which Lesson did Jerry Learn?

[MoistMayonnaise]

He replaced Garrett with Big Mike and he paid to keep Dak when losing Dak would've set the franchise back for awhile.

He kept JG for 10 years of mediocrity. Botched signing Dak earlier so had to pay max money to keep him. Not seeing a competent GM there.

But if you're happy with Jerry...

I'm not happy with Jerry but he's been doing better since 2019.

So another who to keep thread. Jerry doesn't learn unless it fills his pocket. Since he hasn't been penalized for all his football incompetence, I will say he hasn't learned anything.

I hope for all us fans you are wrong and he chooses wisely.
But based on past behavior I am not holding my breath.

You guys are not making me feel real good about the future here.....

We had an up and coming young OC and an older very experienced HC.
Jerry let the young OC go and he became a fixture at his new team for many years and won a SB.

Fast forward a few years:

Same scenario. Only this time the older HC was let go.
The highly sought after OC got the HC gig and did very little in the ten years he coached before departing.

We are seeing Jerry facing this same scenario for a third time.
Which experience is gonna flavor his decision?

Bonus points to the Zoner who can put the names with my 2 examples.

He kept Garrett and let go of Wade.....that didn't work out either

This is not the same thing. Jerry made poor decisions when Parcells left. From his coaching hires, special teams draft, terrible trade. His decisions killed that team. Today's team isn't even close to the stupidity that unfolded after 2006. Payton's success in New Orleans guaranteed nothing here!

This is where I am. I want the cowboys to succeed, but I don't have hope anymore, I need to see it.

The Law of Averages dictate that the Cowboys are going to get it right one year and win a Super Bowl. It won't have anything to do with Jerry.

That is, unless someone wants to give him credit for the 25 years he spent doing it all the wrong ways until the only way left was the right way

There has never been another GM in NFL history with an owner so patient that he allowed the GM to screw it up so many times. They must be related or something.

For pretty much every year Garrett was part of the offense here, defenses would say they could tell which play we were going to run based on tells. Thanks a lot, Garrett. At least you went to the G-Strings, I hate that team quite a bit lol.

It's nice Karma, to be sure.

 

[HungryLion]

I think there is a key difference that also needs to be noted.


Big Mike is a way better coach than Wade.


No disrespect to Wade. He is a fantastic defensive coordinator. But Big Mike superior HC.

 

[T-RO]

Sean Payton who has done nothing since that SB, with one of the best QB”s ever.

You are nuts.

Sean Payton is by far one of the most respected coaches...
Regular season: 148–83 (.641)
Postseason: 9–8 (.529)
Career: 157–91 (.633)

Have you seen his record with backup quarterbacks in the past five years?

You don't say ? LOL
That was the second senario

Yep, I need to see that he is willing to let others make decisions...
The drafts have been encouraging...

Yep Wade was in over his head as a HC, great DC though.

If McCarthy wins a Super Bowl, I think the decision will be pretty easy. If we get ousted before the NFC Championship Game, it becomes much harder. Might depend on why we get ousted. If it's because of a bone-headed decision, it becomes easier again.

By bone head you mean a questionable 4th down call?
Seems to be Mac's weakness.

Great high Character person too....I might add.

If it happens and costs us a game, esp. in the playoffs, then the gripes about it will be legitimized. Right now, McCarthy appears to be doing much more good than bad. However, if the team comes up short and it's his fault, then the Joneses might be more inclined to give Moore his shot.

Frankly, if McCarthy takes us to the NFCCG or Super Bowl in his second year, then he should remain head coach.

I can see that
Hopefully in that case hope Jerry will back up the brinks truck to Moore’s house!
We need to keep him.

For all Jerry's mistakes I would like to see him win one more before he turns over the reigns, I really think he has done his best..but struggled at times for sure.

Done his best how? By refusing to watch film of potential draftees?
