Today we are going to start a series of what the Dallas Cowboys need to do to get back on top. First let's start with one of the most important aspect of the Dallas Cowboys that I think is very overlooked and that is coaching. In the last few years the Dallas Cowboys have not had a guy that in my mind you could really call a good coach. Jimmy Johnson and Tom Landry is really the last guys that come to mind. Both knew exactly what needed to be done and they were not afraid to do it. The coaches that the Cowboys recently have hired really had no grasp of what it means to be a Dallas Cowboys coach or how to go about it and that is sad.
Many people really think Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson were total opposites, but the truth is they were similar in many aspects. Both wanted to win they just went about it different ways with success. Most people will tell you both did it their own way and both had a track record of success. Now until the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones hire someone in that type of mode they will struggle to get back to the top. Many people wonder who the Cowboys could hire. That is a question I have been pondering when I started writing this series. Mike Shanahan is a coach many people have mentioned, but not my choice.
Now many people will not like my choice, but he is a former Dallas Cowboy and a former Arena League coach that Cowboy fans would be receptive towards. My choice would be for Jerry Jones to bring in Danny White to coach the Dallas Cowboys. He coached in the Arena League take his team to three straight Arena Bowl Championships even though he lost all of them. He played under Tom Landry and still understands how today's players are. I do not know if Danny White would consider the job, but he would be my choice. I know many people want Jason Garrett, but I just do not think he is the guy to run the Cowboys.
In our next post we are going to look at the running backs and why we need to make changes here as well. The changes may just surprise some Cowboy fans.
