Ursus: "they are not well motivated or coached though."
Something I have heard about the Cowboys since Jimmy Johnson was the coach.
They had Parcells, he just didn't have the talent and had few bad breaks to boot.
Uh-huh, sure.
If you think Bill Parcells was micro-managed I don't know what to tell you, he was the king of not being micro-managed.
Who does Jerry trust and respect, aside from Jerry?
Way to pivot away from the reality Parcells had full control from 2003 to 2006, but it didn't workout, but he left a lot of the pieces in place for the success of 2007 to 2009.
Fact is Garrett is a mediocre coach, a nice guy, but mediocre coach. I'm no Jones apologist, but he's surrendered control to coaches like Parcells and it didn't work out, he's let Stephen control GM duties and the drafting got much better, and he gave long tenure to Garrett.
What more do you really want him to do?
Jerry's ego and Jimmy's ego may have short changed their 90s dynasty, but Jerry Jones isn't to blame for Garret's mediocrity unless you want to blame him for keeping Garret so long, and in part he's been there so long because he was implementing Norv Turner offense and knew what a Super Bowl team looked like from his 90s days.
Fact is, the 90s are over, they can't be recaptured, Garret was an attempt to do so.
Now they have a really talented roster, but need a different coaching direction.
I feel a little sorry for Jerry, because he hasn't been this meddlesome owner beyond his love of a microphone.
Stephen runs personnel, and Stephen listens to Garrett and the scouting.
