You heard it here first, folks. Jerry Jones needs to remove his interim head coach Jason Garrett and he needs to do it now. “But he had a great first week!” I know. “But he has already changed the culture around the Dallas Cowboys for the better!” Yep. “But he won his first game as [...]
[picappgallerysingle id="10162847"]The debate over whether Jerry Jones is one of the NFL’s best owners or one of its worst has raged in these parts (these parts being Cowboys’ country) for at least 15 years. Ever since the brash Arkansas oilman stormed into Big D like a mule on crack, heehawing and smash-kicking his way around [...]
[picappgallerysingle id="10058612"]I don’t know how tight the NFL head coach fraternity really is, since the National Football League is a dog-eat-dog world and head coaches wear milk bone britches. I do know, however, that it is a small fraternity. It only ever has, at any given time, 32 members. It is also an elite fraternity, [...]
[picappgallerysingle id="10098297"]Jerry Jones was finally backed into a corner. He was reluctant to do it, but in the wake of the worst three-game skid in Cowboys’ history, he cut the head off the listless, poisonous snake and fired head coach Wade Phillips. I am not calling Phillips a snake. I am saying that the culture [...]
[picappgallerysingle id="9581046"]One sure sign that a struggling team is beginning to implode: Players start criticizing other players and/or coaches. Defensive players blame offensive players. Offensive players blame the defense. Players blame coaches. Usually, when a player tosses a coach under the bus, he does so to a coach to whom he answers. Defensive end Igor [...]
One of the key problems for the Dallas Cowboys under head coach Wade Phillips has been the willingness to pass the buck, hide behind the statistics and simply refuse to accept blame for anything. Phillips set the tone for his team by being anxious to take credit for every success and unwilling to accept responsibility [...]
In the 1998 draft, Jerry Jones failed to pull the trigger on drafting future superstar receiver Randy Moss, opting instead to go with Greg Ellis. We all know how that turned out. Ellis put together a respectable career in Dallas, one that garnered him one Pro Bowl appearance in 11 seasons with the Cowboys. Meanwhile, [...]
David Garrard just played the best game of his NFL career against the Dallas Cowboys. He completed 17 of 21 passes for 260 yards and four touchdowns. He also scored a rushing touchdown on a quarterback keeper. His passer rating for the game was a dazzling 158.3 After the game, Garrard, in an interview with [...]
I was six years old when my Uncle Daryle began drilling me on Dallas Cowboys’ names and numbers. Whenever our families would get together, usually on holidays or random summer trips to visit them in San Antonio, the Dallas Cowboys would ultimately become a topic of discussion. The tales of gridiron heroics had me dreaming [...]
In recent days, former Dallas Cowboys greats have weighed in on the state of the current team. During an ESPN Chalk Talk before Monday Night’s game, five-time Super Bowl winner Charles Haley and legendary running back Tony Dorsett minced no words in their assessment of the group currently wearing the star they so proudly wore [...]
