Jerry jones has run this franchise into the ground. Trading away top picks for roy Williams, drafting idiots like dez Bryant and Martel us Bennett and signing guys like scandrick and sensebaugh to big contacts. He just does not get it. This team has gotten owned on the offensive and defensive lines for several years now. They need three new o lineman and two more legit impact players on the d line. Their secondary sucks all around but when you have to cover for five or six seconds on each play you will get exposed no matter your talent.

They are in no mans land. It is going to take several years of smart talent acquisition to fix this mess. I just don't see it.

Jerry looked dazed in his postgame interview. Dazed and old. Like it hadn't really sunk in that his team's season was over. Quite a different image from the sideline roaming owner during Jimmy Johnson's tenure.

Welcome to 1997. They've only won one playoff game since then.

Since then the franchise has brought in guys like Chan Gailey, Dave Campo, Ryan Leaf, Drew Henson, Drew Bledsoe, Terrell Owens and my favorite, Quincy Carter.

it was time for jerry to step back and hire a GM 10 years ago ... if the old fool can't step back and look at the big picture since beating the steelers in the super bowl with switzer as HC .. then he is a bigger idiot than i thought he was -- football-wise ..

The more Jerrah hears this the tighter he'll try to control everything. The Dallas media is saying the same thing this week. It won't matter.

nothing will change (period)


jones has the keys to a multi-billion dollar empire, and he is the emperor. if anyone should be sacrificed this year, it should be the secondary coach: Dave Campo



but even that shite isn't going to happen:
quote:

The hiring of Dave Campo as secondary coach for the Cowboys on January 29, 2008 marked the return of one of the most talented and loyal coaches in the history of the Cowboys organization.

As an assistant coach with the Cowboys in the 1990s, Campo played a key role in the development of Dallas teams that made eight playoff trips, won six division titles and claimed three Super Bowl titles. He worked his way up to the head coaching position for the Cowboys, a post he held for three seasons from 2000 to 2002, before moving on to assistant coaching stops with the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Now in his 18th year of service to the Dallas Cowboys, Campo's coaching tenure with the organization is exceeded by only four other men in club history. The secondary in Campo's third season back was led by Terence Newman and Gerald Sensabaugh, who tied for the team lead with five interceptions each. Both defensive backs also established single-season personal-bests with the five thefts.

In 2009 - his second season back with the Cowboys - Campo's secondary was highlighted by second-year man and former first round draft pick Mike Jenkins' team-leading five interceptions and first Pro Bowl selection. Newman, who earned his second career Pro Bowl selection, finished second on the team with three interceptions as Campo's defensive backs accounted for 10 of the club's 11 interceptions on the season.




yes, cowboys fans are fricked for years to come.

Don't forget about Felix Jones either. A 1st round pick that never amounted to anything and got outshined by a rookie.

I think Jerry is @ a watershed moment.
He can be Stienbrenner in the mid to late 90's, still be the face of the franchise, but surround yourself w smart personnel people. Keep the GM title, press conferences, etc. Just base it on said scouting/personnel decisions.
Sadly, it looks like he is following the path of his mentor, Al Davis, who was also a mentor of Parcells. Exception being Parcells stayed current while Al hasn't.
