Firing Skip Peete and Rob Ryan: Is This The "Changes" Jerry Jones Is Talking About? (Updated 1/9/13)

Hello,

With Jones firing the running backs coach and the defensive coordinator, the cheerleading coordinator better be frightened. Because when you aren't firing the person that's the main problem, you are only creating scapegoats. Peete and Ryan are the first of who knows how many scapegoats there will be.

Yesterday the Cowboys announced that they had fired their running back coach, Skip Peete.  Peete is the first of what may be many firings, he's a scapegoat fired for the GM's inadequacies. Wouldn't injury prone running backs and an inept offensive line point more to a bad GM than to an ineffective running back coach? Jones said he was going to make "changes" and by golly he's going to do it. He's making changes for changes sake, not to improve things. These changes are about as effective as arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. These are changes that are inconsequential, not the real changes that the Cowboys need. This is typical of the dysfunctional thinking of the dysfunctional Cowboys. (Should they just change their name to the Dysfunctional Cowboys?) Too bad we already know the GM won't be fired ever, no matter how bad he is.

Some people, for instance Ed Werder,  suggest Jerry is doing this to pave the way for Norv Turner to return to Dallas as offensive coordinator. Werder says that Turner would probably want to bring his own staff. Obviously Turner would  be an upgrade over the weak play calling of Jason Garrett, but is Turner the answer? Turner would probably look at this as his foot in the door to become Cowboys head coach for when Garrett gets fired. And unless Garrett quits, he'll be getting fired sooner rather than later. I have a feeling that Turner isn't going to end up in Dallas. Well unless Jones throws crazy amounts of money at him or gives him a lot of power.

Now Jerry has gone and fired Rob Ryan, who understandably was pissed off. The defense was much better off than the offense and without several key contributors. So of course the defensive coordinator gets fired while the offensive coordinator/ alleged head coach are retained? Only in Jerry's idiot brain does this make any sense.

Again I urge all Cowboys fans to boycott the Cowboys until Jones steps down as GM of the Cowboys.  Coaches and players come and go and the still the Cowboys are mediocre. That's because Jones is the main problem. Until he quits or dies, the Cowboys will remain mediocre. How can someone so rich be so dumb? How did he ever become successful in the first place?

The Cowboys have taken so much tarnish off the star that following them is now difficult. I'm tired of following this loser team. Although I've been a fan for way too long to completely stop following them. I've also been cheering for the Buccaneers and 49ers the last few years. The Bucs are a team on the rise. And everyone knows how good the 49ers are. I'll be cheering for the 49ers this weekend when they welcome the Packers to Candlestick Park. It will be a battle, but I predict the 49ers advance to the NFC Conference Championship. I won't be surprised if they play Seattle in the NFC Championship.

Atlanta may be the NFC's #1 seed, but I just don't see them making it to the Super Bowl. I actually think that Seattle is going to beat them this week. For some reason Atlanta sports teams constantly choke. I've followed the Braves for years and every year they find some way to underachieve. The Falcons have done the same thing. There is just so much pressure on the Falcons to shed their choker reputation. At this point the Seahawks are playing with a lot of confidence.

Both NFC games this week should be great games.

I'll also be interested in seeing how the Seahawks and Broncos do this weekend. My oldest son cheers for the Broncos and my sister-in-law cheers for the Seahawks.
