This is why they need a GM who’s last name isn't jones

So the problem is Jerry and not Dak, or is it McCarthy, wait it’s stephen, no it’s will McCray, he’ll it’s the cheer leaders fault lol

Stay - there’s something to be said about continuity at the head coaching level IMHO.

I think I’m the only one in this group that believes if Jerry could write a check for a championship, he would. In other words, he cares about winning, he knows how to win in sports and life and business, he just hasn’t put the correct chess pieces together and made the right moves with them to get over that hump with his football team.

Change the coordinators possibly but give McCarthy another 3 yrs. He’ll get them to a NFC championship game.

When it comes to making money and marketing his franchise JJ and Stephen are proven very, very good.

When it comes to making himself into a celebrity JJ is a success.

When it comes to building a championship organization on the field they are proven incompetent. You've got 30 years of evidence....how much more evidence do you need?? Jeez, just research the "all in" 2024 off season....

Just remember him landing his helicopter DEAD CENTER in the MIDDLE of his practice field DURING practice....

How about "ALL in"....

Jerry is a an immoral POS.... that's been proven by HIS own actions....fathering children cheating on his wife... Multiple drunken examples, go watch his drunk hustling girls in a bar in Wichita Falls.... Or read about his drunken immature narcissistic temper fit at Disneyworld during the league meeting... THAT was Jimmy's last straw... etc etc etc.

Jerry has been trying to prove, for 3 decades, that HE was the architect of the incredible 90's dynasty and not Jimmy. We've all witnessed 30 years of him flailing about trying to prove this to the world... and he has proven to be a failure....

If Jerry was about "winning championships" he would have been kissing Jimmy's arse vs effectively running him out of town...very, very telling IMOP.

Hitzges obviously gets it.....and I've never known ole Norm to be hyperbolic...

Well, there is Red-Headed Jesus to blow that claim up !

And, yes, Jerry would write that check. That would be the easy way to a championship. Doing it with smart and savvy moves and management strategies takes talent and other skills that escape Booger's aptitude and so far that is the story since 1996.

I agree with all of that. But the problem with Jerry is his leadership, undermining the HC, the glitz culture he has created….

There are GM roles he does very well I think, like managing the cap, the draft…. The cowboys have ranked #1 or #2 in pro bowlers drafted for years now, he stacks the team with talent. Many fail to realize that.

No telling how many super bowls cowboys would have won if he changed his leadership style, Jimmy would have stayed, and top HCs would be lining up to work for him.

All it takes is money and he can get about any coach he wants, same as the players, they all go for the most money, I like a lot of things about Jerry but being the GM of this team is not one of them, he is better suited to just sit up in his suite and have him a bottle of Johnny Walker. I do not believe Will McClay or Stephen are the answer either, although they should share as much of the blame as Jerry, they are all heavily involved with the draft and free agents, but it does all start at the top.

I agree with you HK.

Money does not buy you good draft picks. And free agents, you pay a market price that hits your salary cap, all teams spend all their cap money and they all mortgage the future with restructuring contracts to kick the can down the road, I think Jerry does a good job with salary cap.

In regard to HC, good HC don’t want to work for Jerry, period. No matter how much Jerry pays them, there needs to be a good relationship, money won’t fix that.

Again, all Jerry needs to do is change is leadership style, which will probably never happen.

Needs to be a poll or it doesn't count.

There are salary restrictions when it comes to players. If there were not, It would not surprise me to see Jerry spend more on player salaries than just about anyone. One of his problems is trying to manage players under salary cap restrictions, Dak's signing is one glaring example of that, if you overpay for a few players, it leaves you less to dole out to the other players.

Cowboys are 23rd in the league in regards to available cap space. Funny thing is many of the Top 10 in available space are also bad teams.


Seems it takes monthly AND skill to field a good team personnel wise. As a fan I think I like the LA Rams approach of truly going all in for a season or two then have a season or two of cap hell. To me it's better than long periods of mediocrity like we get with the Cowboys.

Coiple of the worst teams, Saints and Browns are actually above cap space. If ya'll think the Cowboys are mismanaged, I give you two words - Cleveland Browns.

Cap space (on its own) tells you nothing. All you have to do is restructure contracts (mortgage the future) and create cap space.

McCarthy should stay. He’s got it made here.
