where jerry going to find another yes man puppet?
no real coach is gonna come here and work under Jerry. The only way to take this team seriously is when Jerry have transitioned. sad b.u.t true.
That excuse is played out. I seriously doubt Jones wants a puppet. Honestly if you break down all of the coaches that have been hired under Jones, I would say none of them were puppets.
Barry Switzer was basically a stop gap to eek out what was left of the triplets. Chan Gailey inherited a mismanaged roster. He never really got a chance to do anything.
Dave Campo was another stop gap. Again, the roster was trash.
Jones finally hires Parcells to help clean up the mess, but more importantly, he needed to help turn shyt around because he was in the middle of trying to get a new stadium built. Parcells was on his last leg, but he helped build that roster.
Unfortunately, all of Parcells best coordinators left before Jones had a chance to entertain the position. Wade Phillip's was hired because of his expertise in the 3-4. He didn't want to have to rebuild the defense again.
But Phillip's was never a good head coach. Garrett turns down the opportunity to be the head coach of the Ravens and that's where shyt gets tricky. Jones gave Garrett the job because of his ties to the cowboys.
He's also held on to Garrett longer than he should have because he regrets not sticking with Chan Gailey longer, plus he probably felt like he owes Garrett for not leaving after one season.
Then you have to look at the coaching landscape. There have been a ton of hot coordinators who have been hired away from winning teams and they don't do shyt. Look no further than ex New England Patriots coordinators who failed miserably as head coaches.
Finding a great head coach isn't easy. If it were, every team would have one. Dallas has talent, but are thin at multiple positions. As for Garrett and a few players, their window has closed. Time to move on. Whoever Jones hires, I feel as though they should be allowed to hire their own coaches. Head coaches should not have to inherit hand me down coaches from the previous ones.
