Too bad the Cowboys wont fire Jason Garrett.

I guess Jerry Jones’ ego is too big for that!

Agree. Garrett is terrible. Last year he was carried by a great team, but 8-8 is his norm.

It's amazing how secure Garrett is in his position when you look at how mediocre he is as a head coach.

It's a testament to JJ's inability to install a professional personnel system.

Woody Johnson loved Rex Ryan, but could you imagine Johnson retaining him as coach after his last 2 disastrous seasons with the Jets?

Maybe off topic, but I don’t understand people like Jerry Jones.

In that, he was a successful oilman, and made his fortune in the oil business. But in running that business, he didn’t do it all himself, he hired the best people he could find, and let them do their jobs, and let them make changes as needed for the business to succeed.

So it seems to me, as a sports team owner, why doesn’t he do the same thing? Hire the best football people he can find, and then let them do their jobs. Hire the best GM he can find, and let that GM hire the coaches, make player personnel decisions, figure out how to work with the salary cap, and all the rest of the details involved in building a football team. Find the best football men you can find, let them get the best players they can find, and let them do their jobs.

Maybe I’m missing something about egotistical micro managing owners like Jerry Jones, but it sure seems obvious to me, that they don’t run their sports teams the way they ran the successful businesses they all have.

I don’t think theres help for that team as long as the current owner stays the owner.
