Who deserves the blame for how bad the Cowboys are this season?
By John Buhler
Owner. Dallas Cowboys. 1. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Jerry Jones. player. 123
The only two times in Jerry Jones’ ownership of the Cowboys have they been consistent, high-end competent and it’s when he’s had a head coach with a big personality who can challenge his massive ego. While all Bill Parcells and Jimmy Johnson are both Hall of Famers alongside their former boss, Jones is the only one regularly losing this unspectacularly every fall Sunday.
Though we should give Jones and his son Stephen Jones some credit for helping assemble what should be a talented roster, at the end of the day it’s coaching that matters most. When you bring in a guy who only went to one Super Bowl on the eliteness of Aaron Rodgers, you’re only setting yourself up to be shamelessly mediocre.

Jones made a choice that he’d rather be in control than see his team win a championship again. He replaced a clapping patsy in Jason Garrett with a guy who couldn’t win enough that a team without an owner had no choice but to fire him two years ago. Simply put, if you want to take all the credit for your team’s success, then you must be willing to accept all the blame when it is so your fault.
There is no reason to watch the Cowboys play this year unless you are addicted to feeling pain.
