If I was Dez I'd be PO'ed too that I had a complete moron who can't do simple math as a head coach that continues to blow games with horrible clock management every single season. How many times do the Lions have to do this to Jason Garrett before he learns. He should be fired immediately.

Our problems start with the owner. He hires yes men head coaches and thinks he's a gm.

As long as Jerry owns Dallas we will continue to flounder.

Well he hired Bill Parcels who definitely not a yes man and had Sean Payton as the coach in waiting but that all fell through when Payton took the Saints job a year early.

Since then I agree with you but that hasn't always been the case. He has hired a coach this time that can't add.

1:14 left in FG range. No timeouts left and 3rd down. Take a knee ( 2 seconds ) play clock ( 40 seconds ) FG Attempt or punt ( 5 seconds ) that leaves 27 seconds left with no timeouts. = win

Dooley would be the perfect interim coach -- fire Garrett

I thought he was changing his ways when he hired Parcells, but no. He still wanted to be a gm instead of letting Parcells pick his own players.

He's somehow got it in his head that he's responsible for Dallas winning 3 super bowls in the 90s. Since Jimmy left we've had such amazing coaches as Barry Switzer, Chan Gailey, and Dave Campo. Or how about everyone's favorite re-tread Wade Phillips. The only reason Jerry hired him is Wade was a 3-4 guru. But Wade didn't even get to pick his own staff. Jason Garrett was hired as OC before Wade was hired as coach.

Our drafts were absolute garbage in the years following Jimmy leaving.

I think Parcells picked who he wanted for the most part. The only guy that Jerry pushed on him was T.O. And that was a free agent. Otherwise I agree with you.

My point is that we have good players and loads of talent now so it's not the drafting and Free Agency that is killing us, it's our moron head coach in my opinion.

Players and talent. Definitely.

Head coach....who makes that hire though? Jerry made his mind up years ago he wanted Jason Garrett on his staff. He tried to talk him into retiring when he was still a qb at Dallas just so he could put him on the staff.

Jerry said himself that he would fire the Dallas Cowboys gm. But since it's him, he won't relinquish that job.

Jerry Jones said he would have fired himself as general manager

He knows he's holding the team back but he thinks he's responsible for Dallas winning in the 90s.

"When I bought the team, the night I bought it, I said I would be doing what I'm doing," Jerry said, justifying in his mind why he'll be the GM until his final breath. "And that's GM the team and make the final decision on all personnel. That's the way it's always been done.

"We won three Super Bowls doing that, and so I want to do it again."

Jerry Jones' ego is why he'll never fire himself as Dallas Cowboys' general manager - ESPN Dallas

The one constant positive about being a Cowboys fan: The haters stay piled high through the good times and the bad, so whatever wins we do manage to get are all the sweeter.

Jerry Jones and his mouth, Lane Kiffins dad, Derek ( nothing is my fault) Dooley. I really like Jason Witten - but how can I pull for a team with all this baggage?

Thank goodness Monte isn't coaching here anymore. The game has definitely passed him by.

Big win tonight. With this running game clicking Dallas suddenly looks like a dangerous team and the defensive adjustment they made after the Detroit game of playing more man seems to have fixed the defense. Romo looks sharp too.


Fingers crossed.

Lost Dunbar for the year after his best game. Team probably needs to win 3/4 to get in. Let's hope for a couple Philly losses down the stretch.

That's an understatement. I don't understand why we draft a freaking tight end in the 2nd round and then draft some short Division 2 DB's in the late rounds. This team is so poorly managed at the top, going to be $33 million over the cap after this year, where the hell is that money? Yeah, not on the field. Freaking stupid.

Edit: I don't think it's too much to ask to maybe draft a DB who has actually played a game against a good receiver in college. Instead of bringing in some short scrubs to play against big time receivers like Marshall and Jeffrey.

Wow, what an embarrassing performance by the cowboys tonight. I actually thought they could win against the horrid Bears defense.

Posted this in another thread:


Dallas's coaching staff needs to be fired.


You rush for over 100 yards in the first half and are up 26-3 at one point, and what do you do?

Start running less and passing even more was their answer.

ESPN NFC East blog writer:

Stock watch: Bill Callahan, Jason Garrett, Romo, falling. Since the Cowboys' offensive play calling is a team effort we'll go with all three as falling. The Packers could not stop DeMarco Murray and the Cowboys decided to pass, pass and pass some more when they needed to kill the clock by running, running and running. Romo's late interception to Sam Shields was a poor decision by the quarterback, but a poor call by the coaches.

Tony Romo has thrown SEVEN interceptions in losses with the Cowboys tied or up one possession in the 4th quarter/OT. No other QB has five.
