I hit on Jimmy and will never do it again...

We also have no single bargaining chip remotely approaching Hershel Walker's roster capital/ value.

Air quoting championship game as if it is some sort of narrative and not a fact that they haven’t been to one in 30 years is part of the reason I am a full on Bears fan now. Imagine crushing someone’s soul so badly you drive them to the Bears. Well done, Jerry. Well done.

Has anybody seen that white Yoda that looks like Jerry Jones?  I hear it's good.  

Yes. See my post at the top of this page.

Yep. Despite what fans think of Jerry, I believe the vast majority of players, former and current, like and/or at least respect Jerry. You can see it in his interactions in the old Hard Knocks and the more recent Cowboys season of All or Nothing. He’s charismatic with them and I can imagine they admire his story of becoming wealthy starting from where he did. Almost none of that applies to Stephen.

Game respects game. The players respect Jones’ ability to get out of the house and chase strange at an advanced age. That’s all.

Parsons is the only player who could likely bring 2 ones.  At last a 1 and 3.  Some players have to be the dudes that bring a return in draft capital over infield performance.

Jerry really exposed his motives in the presser.  This is his third hire of the son of an nfl coach: Wade, Garrett and Brian.  His statement basically solidified his handoff to Stephen.  He also was a son who was in his father’s business.

If he had a son after the last Cowboys Super Bowl, and that is a distinct possibility, his 29th birthday would be today.  It has also been 29 years since the Cowboys won a Divisional Round Playoff game.

 

Fuck you Jerry.

8 nfc championship games
4 super bowls

For the Eagles since Dallas last played in the conference championship. Crazy.

Don't forget the Giants have also played in 3 Super Bowls since then (winning 2 of course), and between our other 2 main NFC rivals, there's another 5  Super Bowls and 1 win.

Doesn't Eberflus have a decent reputation as a defensive coordinator? Some guys just aren't meant to be in charge.

Yeah guys like Wade Phillips were the same.

I can tell you that there have been two defensive coaches who have given the current high-flying offense of my Lions consistent trouble:  Eberflus and Todd Bowles.  I think Flus would be a really solid hire for the Cowboys given the uncertainty surrounding the abilities of the HC.

He's the one solid pick up so far...we'll see how the staff fills out.

The NFL is a cesspool of incestuous mediocrity.

What is it with so many head coaches insisting on calling their own plays? I know it's always been around but seems way more prevalent these days (could be perception I suppose based on teams I know more about). Be a head coach and hire a coordiator you trust to call plays. Has Schottenheimer officially said that he's going to call plays? That wasn't part of his OC duties previously, right?

Andy Reid, McVay, and Shanahan are the 3 best at it and they are generally the exception....

I'd bet Shotty is calling plays because Jerry doesn't want to pay for an OC.

Yes, JJ said he was gathering interest from other teams to be an OC with play calling duties so letting him call plays was part of his plan to keep him here.

That said, I'm sure the upgrade to HC would've been enough to keep him here as well.

I hope they tank for Arch and that the Mannings tell them to go fuck themselves. Seriously. When Stephen calls just fart into the phone and hang up.

Didn’t realize Zeke was Nigerian.

I'd buy a Zeke token if it showed him getting busted up as center on the last stupid play of that Dallas at SF playoff game.

That play epitomizes the futility of Dallas under Jerry.

Jerry basically announced that Brian will call plays.  I hate HCs that call plays most of the time. Jimmy didn’t call plays.  Parcells.  Most of Garrett years.  The hc needs to manage the game and control the C’sfrom doing dumb shit.

I may have miscounted by one or two, but by this source I count 14 head coaches that were calling the plays going into 2024. Offensive coordinators called plays for 18 teams. It's not unusual. Whether it's a good idea or not is debatable. But some very good head coaches that are good at it seem to get their teams in the playoffs fairly regularly. For some teams the head coach is the real OC with a proxy up in the booth that they call the OC, which is basically what Schott is, and several others.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41018846/nfl-playcallers-32-teams-mike-mcdaniel-sean-mcvay-nathaniel-hackett

So if we want to find any room for hope in all that, my stance has been that Mike not calling plays next year may not be a bad thing, and we will find out if Brian is better at not only calling the plays, but with his own version of the scheme. Fans often bitched bout McCarthy's play calling. For me it was mostly how bland it was with not enough wrinkles to get receivers more open, give the qb better checkdown options, and open things up for the running game as well. Mike's game management wasn't great, either. Some new blood on the staff might bring a few ideas that Brian may be more open to using. 

We'll just have to see.

I have the sneaking suspicion that the Cowboys are really going to try and make some splashes this offseason.

Last years offseason was the most apathetic I ever felt. The whole "All In" BS, followed by a decent, not great draft, and then the worst FA period i've ever seen in my life, even for the Cowboys...it makes me think they were literally sabotaging McCarthy's last year. 

They'll want to do the opposite this year...to prove they were right to Hire Schot, and may actually make some trades/signings to improve the team.

Just enough to reel us back in again, ugh.

Mike has punted on getting a head coaching job this year and says he is focusing on the 2026 hiring cycle. Seems likely that he wasn't drawing as much enthusiasm as he had though, which isn't really surprising. Maybe another sub-NFL pro league?

It appears obvious that he made the wrong choice in not taking a short term deal to return to Dallas.

Buffalo center Connor McGovern was tabbed as a replacement for the Pro Bowl games.

So chalk up one more pro bowl player drafted by Jerry, after they couldn't get much out of him for four years in Dallas.

Will McClay agreed to an extension. 

He's got the perfect job. Makes good money and truly has zero pressure. Everything that happens is on Jerry so any player, or contact, or deal that is done, even if Will orchestrated it, is on Jerry. Something goes to shit, even if it's Will's fault, goes on Jerry. He'll never get credit for any good that he does, but I'm guessing he's fine just spending Jerry's money and doing the football thing. Where do I sign up.

His title doesn't have "VP" in it for nothing...
