Major
So the Cow-idiots hired Jason "Red Jesus" Garrett.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
My prediction for his career
2010 - Took over for Wade Phillips and had a decent run of 5-3
2011 - Will have success due to a cupcake schedule. 11-7 (remember 18 game schedule now) May make playoffs with a 1st round loss.
2012 - Things aren't so great now as the schedule just got harder. 10-8. Miss the playoffs
2013 - Hey, doing this isn't so easy anymore. 7-11. No playoffs
2014 - Team quits on him 5-13. Terminated.
If they can't keep Romo healthy, you can add 2 more losses to each year.
I am actually very pleased that Jones didn't succomb to the 'hire a retreard' move or take a huge chance on an assistant that has zero time actually being responsible for the whole team, especially when they just tanked their schedule. I think Minnesota and Dallas both made the right choice.
Next hurdle - defensive co-ordinator and defensive philosophy going forward. A 4-3 won't work with these guys
Next hurdle - great OL free agent and either an all pro safety or a draft pick that can start right away. The Cowboy safeties were hung out to dry because Ball just doesn't have the instincts..
Next hurdle - see if McGee can improve rapidly and see if they can get something for Barber and or Choice.. I predict they may draft a safety, a RB and an OL in first three picks depending on Free Agency pick ups.
