07:59 AM ET 11.01 | The head of team turmoil is wrestling with how to shake the downward spiral. [Jerry] Jones has never made a coaching change during the season and pointed that out again. But as he spoke of "not in any way" wanting to make a change in one breath, he spoke of his history of making hard decisions, decisions that would kill him, in the next. ... "What we do here is very fragile. I don't think there is anybody in the world who would doubt that I'm willing to do something hard. I'm willing to do something that doesn't feel good to me. This isn't about that."

Watch that thumb man.

Is that the new coach? "You miss a tackle, I punch you face!"

Is Wade a great Coach?

That might be the only way to get those guys to make some plays!

Coach? He'd make a better couch.

Let Jason run the ship. At the very least they'll be very organized.

At least the O-line gave Kitna time in the pocket. What was up with those freaking interceptions?

That was some kind of stench coming out of Arlington yesterday.

Jerry is going to come out of the closet.

Wearing those shades, even Manny is embarrassed to be seen with Jerry Jones.

Not a give up... but a "you lost, dude - here's your new avatar!"

What happened? I remember all the pre-season articles picking them for the super bowl. At least they can say Roy Williams got his revenge dinner from the rookie and they got to see their celebration dances on the big screen in the stadium.

Apparently there are exceptions in the NFL.

They Cowboys need somebody who can give them discipline. That's their huge issue. This is a young team with some raw talent that just isn't being coached properly. During the game, when the Boys were down 14-3, the camera was showing Wade with a few of his players behind him. Wade was looking concerned, of course. The players were all talking and laughing hysterically with each other. That was really indicative of a problem, for me at least. If I'm the coach of a 1-5 team who was supposed to be a Super Bowl contender, who's losing 14-3 at home - I would turn around and tell those guys to shut up and prepare to get back on the field. The mentality in Dallas is terrible. Bring in a coach like Bill Cowher or Jon Gruden - then we'd see a totally different Dallas Cowboy football team.
