Owner must let Dallas Cowboys' next head coach run the show
Column by JEAN-JACQUES TAYLOR The Dallas Morning News
If the Dallas Cowboys end this season just like the last 12 seasons have ended, then it's time for Jerry Jones to admit his way isn't working.
Then he must make some changes.
He can start by firing the head coach and giving the new coach the same amount of control he gave Bill Parcells.
It's the only way this franchise can return to the glory days, because as long as Jerry remains the face of the franchise, the coach will never have the autonomy he needs to succeed.
Jerry had the right idea when he hired Parcells and essentially let him run the franchise. That's how Jerry ended up with a 13-3 record and the No.1 seed in the NFC, even though Wade Phillips coached the team.
The problem isn't that Parcells left, it's that Jerry let all of the infrastructure leave with him.
This team needs leadership and discipline and accountability. The only way it can get it is for Jerry to move back into the shadows and let someone else be the face of the franchise.
To do so, Jerry must humble himself and accept the truth. No other good owner would let a GM, who hasn't won a playoff game in 13 seasons, survive.
There's no question Jerry wants to win. But does he want it badly enough to change his ways?
We're about to find out

Jerry hasnt told Wade what to do. Wades choices of asst has been horrific! Jerry need to bring in a Good HC and let him do his thing. Jerry isnt "telling" our coaches what to do. Sorry! cowboymaniac
