How to fix the Cowboys

[benefactor]

Dallas will be mediocre/bad until Jones A) Gets a hard nosed coach that doesn't take any crap and B) Actually brings in good football minds to work in his front office instead of taking all of the job les himself.

A is looking bleak and B is never going to happen. Dallas is screwed.

What do you mean "fix" the Cowboys? They're just perfect the way they are - the perfect entertainment package.

Think about it. They start off each season with a lot of hype, fanfare and adding surprising new charismatic characters (TO, Pacman etc). They go on to deliver all the drama that you can stomach, what with celebrity girlfriends, a 3-way intrigue/envy plot between QB/WR/TE, press conferences that range from emotional to wacky, and some startling sound bytes from the senile patriarch. Then comes the suspense: they start getting Dallas fans giddy with their potential, and the suspense builds up on how far they can go. And for the coup de grace, they stun the expectant audience with unintentional comedy, as they end their season with one hilarious blunder after another.

What can do they to improve upon this winning plot? That's part of the suspense - you never know what they'll do next! Maybe they'll sign Michael Vick and add a couple of WWE wrestlers to the roster. Maybe Jerry Jones can demote Wade to DC and become the first owner-GM-coach in NFL history. Maybe Jessica dumps Romo and has a threesome with TO and Witten. Bottom line, you just gotta wait and let them surprise you - and they won't disappoint!

exactly what I've said.

1. Dump TO, and feature Roy Williams (WR). He's been to the Pro Bowl. He's not a cancer.
2. Fire Son of Bum, IMMEDIATELY. If you want fat cheerleaders, hire fat cheerleaders. I think Mangini could probably do a good job.
3. Start Felix Jones. He's a ing home run hitter.
4. Get rid of Roy Williams (S). He's always been ty in coverage, but now can barely hit or tackle or blitz anymore.
5. Stop trading high draft picks.

new coaching staff should do the trick

[Dr. Gonzo]

What's there to fix? I love them the way they are.

[mexicanjunior]

1.) Fire Wade and hire a coach with some cajones.
2.) Cut TO.
3.) Cut Cory Proctor.
4.) Cut Roy Williams (safety).
5.) Make Choice the starter.
6.) Administer fine policy for all pre-snap penatlies.
7.) Administer fine policy for any media interviews regarding complaints about the team, stats or playing time.
8.) Cut Pacman.
9.) Make Roy Williams (WR) and Miles Austin the starters with Crayton and Hurd as the backups.
10.) Fire Jason Garrett and bring in a new OC that preaches keeping it on the ground.

Yes. the following scenario is the only way.

Just imagine ....

Jerry Jones, the owner and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys, today announced that he is stepping down as the team's general manager and plans to limit his role in the team's day-to-day football operations. Jones also announced he will begin a search for an experienced general manager to run the Dallas front office so that he can focus his time on marketing the team and its new stadium.


Won't happen, but it's nice to dream.

I don't know why people keep talking about cutting Roy Williams, like that's going to solve any of the problems the Cowboys saw this season. Williams played in, what, three games? I don't care if they cut him or not, but cutting him doesn't really answer any of the issues the Cowboys have.

Another thing to remember...if you bring in a new staff, you have to bring someone who can run a 3-4, since all of the Cowboy's personnel up front is suited to that system.

Not necessarily. You can format a defense to switch between both. I believe some teams are already doing that.

It's imperitive the 'boys get this done quick or the good coaches are gonna be gonzo.

[leemajors]

finally, someone got fired. Bruce Read has been relieved of his duties.

[LakerHater]

Get a QB that is not another Danny White!

It would clear some space under the cap to sign a player that can contribute...

Also, I think this team could easily switch to a 4-3 and probably be a better team for it. Ware, Ratliff, Tank, and Spencer would make for a very good front 4 and Ellis, Bowen, Hatcher and Spears (FA) would provide nice depth. The 3 LB's would probably be Burnett, James and a FA pickup once Zach Thomas bolts. The move may hurt their pass rush a little but I think would really improve their run defense...
