He gets the credit and he takes the heat. If Jones isn t seriously entertaining such a scenario, then he s wasting his time. It s not like the man had a successful run in Chicago, and it s also not like Jones to turn to Jimmy Johnson s best friend as the franchise savior. The Cowboys are not structured in such a way that they can attract a proven successful coach. It is sheer fantasy to think that Johnson would contemplate a return.
Big name coaches aren t available, and it makes no sense to hire another small name coach.
This is a team on the brink. Just reaching the playoffs will soon become the ultimate goal as the Cowboys come to grips with the reality of aging stars and failed drafts. Super Bowls aren t in this team s near future. So if the Cowboys can t be good, they can still be entertaining.
