Umm...Jason Garrett is OC and will become HC. What makes you think the offensive system will change?
1 more year of Wade at least until Jerry wises up.
Jerry needs to hire a real General Manager, well versed in modern NFL football.
But since his monstrous ego will prevent even considering that, we are left to hope that economic forces cause Jerry to give up managing the Cowboys. His mismanagement of the organization just might be enough to discourage season ticket holders from ponying up the exorbitant "one time seat license fee". It is these fees that Jerry is hoping to help cover the additional financing for his JerryWorld stadium.
As long as Jerry micromanages the Cowboys, the fans will have to suffer disappointment.
Wade cannot leave...that's a matter of fact. The problem is that Bum JJ hired as OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR. Garrett isn't ready for that position. And think about it...WADE didn't hire him, Jerry did. Jerry has to dump Garrett for the fraud he is. His offense has gone from Vanilla to Crayola. My children knows what coming. Get rid of Garrett, Hudson Houke, Bruce "Oh so special," teams coach, Brad Johnson, T.O., FLOZEL, Proctor, Special Teams coach, Ellis, Hamlin, Davis, Zach, Burrnett, Roy Williams (Safety), Henry, Spears, Tank Jonhson, and Cut T-NEW's F'IN PAY. Problem Solved.
Well...I think you fire Wade. It's not that he's a bad coach, person, or bad anything...he's just too nice. A team like the Cowboys needs a strong leader. It's why they succeeded under Jimmy Johnson, and haven't since to a large degree. To use an old saying, you can't have the inmates running the jail. Maybe that's more appropriate to the 90's Cowboys, but y'all get the point. :)
Once the leadership is in place, the team can then focus on football rather that the off field soap opera. That leader keeps TO in check, keeps the squabbling down (or in house when it does happen), and most of all, has the team PREPARED to play. The Iggles loss was a team that was not mentally prepared for the game, and didn't act like their post-season lives depended on that victory.
Garrett is fine. Keep him. We just need a new head coach. It's too bad even money won't drag Cowher out of retirement...he'd be perfect. Hard nosed coach who expects committment and preparation from his players, and backs up the discipline. What a concept.
You have to fire the coaches. New England anybody. They lost their QB for a season and went through new rb's every week. They still won 11 games. Injuries cannot be the reason you let a coaching staff get a bye. Wade is a great guy, a great DC. Jerry wants to win in his new house and as dumb as he is, I dont think Wade will be doing the driving next year.

What the saying, "Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results" OK by me though seeing that team lose and the owner and players and coaches all teary eyed is priceless.

what did 11-5 get them? Nada. The Cowboys also had a tougher schedule.
Jason Garrett aka a genious got his offensive game plan shoved back in his face. He may be a genious with the books but he is no football mastermind.
I will give Romo one more year to get his ship together. Remember he's only plyaed 38 games as a Cowboy. It took Peyton Manning 94 games to win his first playoff game.
Everyone lets be real on the Cowboys problems.
1. Keep Jason as OC since Romo doesn't need to go through another learning curve on offense.
2. Need new recievers coach Sherman hasn't got his recievers to do very much or run very good routes. When Romo relied on Witten as much as he does it's because he changes his routes when Romo scrambles to get open.
3. OL coach needs someone else. The line couldn't block for Romo and didn't open many hole on short yardage running plays.
4. Need new DC, Stewart is over his head, hire Crennel if he is willing to come. The defense did great when Wade took over but those last 2 games they looked like their old selves and folded.
5. Draft a quality OL. These backups aren't very good. Flozell I think needs to go the way of Larry Allen. Flo costs a lot in salary cap and his ability is fading. He wasn't getting much of a push everytime they needed that short yardage. I know Proctor was a big part of it but even with Kosier there was problems. So either Flo is lacking or the guards are.
6. It's time for a new SS or FS. Hamlin seems like he is a better fit at SS and maybe Henry can be the FS either way something has to change. Williams and Davis aren't the answer and the backup all seem to be better SS than FS.
Ok, Holmgren is taking a year off, and I believe him. Cowher wouldnt work for Jones, not without total control of the team. I dont think that they need to fire anyone on the coaching staff, this staff led them to a 13-3 record the year before and the players were commenting on how Wade's relaxed style allowed them to play. The problem this year was injuries. The Romo pinkie injury kept the Cowboys out of the playoffs. Plus more importantly, losing Felix Jones was the biggest blow, Barber isnt an every down back and it showed at the end of the year with his injuries. Jones injury not only took away the 2nd rb but affected the special teams cause he was a really good returner. That affects the offense (longer fields) and the defense (out on the field longer). Without the injuries, the Cowboys probably finish 11-5 (probably would have beaten Rams and Cards, hell they GAVE the game to Pittsburgh). They are starting to panic and they need to relax and get healthy. They do need a safety and backup qb, but Wade should probably be given one more year....
Just read on the Cowboys website about Romo's injury during the game...he suffered Rib damage and passed out after the game in the showers....the guy played hurt the entire back half of the season and didnt complain once...that is guts.
Felix Jones hurt big time...look at his stats...the guy averaged 6yds per return on kicks better than anyone else on the team and took one to the yard. He also had 3 rushing Td's in relief of Barber during the season....that HURT, period.
Flozell Adams should go but wont...I would cut him if it didnt affect our cap too badly adding in the salary of the new free agent I would sign. His false starts and inability to handle smaller rushers killed Romo this season and inevitably contributed to his playing hurt most of the year.
Garrett should not go, just being he is a young coach, he should learn from the recent games and build off of it...all he needs to do is watch tape of the Steelers, Giants, Ravens and Eagles and figure out the situation and why it was that he didnt have enough blockers in on certian plays.
You can not block 5 on 7 all game long and not expect your QB to get roughed up and roughed up he did.
Someone else above said to cut Henry and no...I would not do that either...Henry can play at Free Saftey on passing downs while Hamlin moves over to strong.
This team has a lot to build on...plus the young guys got tons of plays in this season...Jenkins and Scandrick on D looked really good while Felix, Choice and Bennett looked great on O.
Coming back to Romo....no excuses, but the guy played with a splint for 3 games, then a busted back for the last 2 and a half, and that doesnt figure in the rib injury during the Eagle game.
Romo looked bad in his last 2 games and there were so many passes that sailed on him that normally dont.
Give Garrett a healthier Romo and who knows? Maybe a long ball or two gets completed on the Ravens, maybe they beat the Rams and instead of 9-7, they are 11-5 and in.
Momentum is a big deal in sports and Dallas never could get any going for a variety of reasons.
Give Wade and company 1 more season, plus with the hype of the new stadium and if they dont generate something good to build on, then off with his head....until then...you got to compare him vs what is available out there and there isnt much.
Fire. Wade has the charisma and leadership skills of a Kiwanis insurance salesman. He completely lost control of his team. When the bus goes into the ditch you fire the driver.

THE problem is, and will always be T.O. Look what happened in San Fran; Philly; and now Dallas. There will never be any unity on that team or any team with T.O. PERIOD. It's all about him.........never about the team.........Last time I looked FOOTBALL was a TEAM sport, not a ME sport. Nuff Said......................

The "Red Headed Genius" is being mentioned as a head coach possibility in Detroit now. Cowher won't ever come to Dallas for the fact of the matter is he couldn't co exist with Skeletor, much like Jimmy Johnson couldn't, and Bill Parcells had a belly full of him. Bill didn't want T.O. but they got him anyway. Why? Skeletor wanted him........publicity, even negative is good for Jones.
I'm not sure who'd risk their reputation coming to Dallas to coach, but I know if I was successful at coaching, I wouldn't take that chance, unless Skeletor backed off, and that is unlikely. Cowboy fans, get ready for another 12 years of one and done, if that, but you will see the Jerry Jones monument next year for sure.

BTW, Tony Sparano had a lot to do with helping Garrett run the offense last year. This year, Garrett didn't have that luxury and it showed.
I'd rather let Phillips go, but I'm ok with him staying. Why? Because I think the real problem is discipline and desire. You mentioned continuity, and I think that grows right out of character, discipline, and hard work, all of which This team doesn't need a taskmaster like Parcells, but they can't be trusted to work things out on their own either.
Something Parcells is good at is creating a true unified TEAM by weeding out the guys who don't wanna do the work. THEREFORE, I suggest anyone who is not motivated to put in the hard work and stay out of the nightclubs be let go. Immediately. This could be anyone.
