There should always be that glimer of hope, thats how Philly finally got a championship.
With all due respect, "hope" is not how they got a championship. Jeff Lurie kept searching and hiring & firing football people who have dedicated their lives to the intricacies of the game, allowed them to do their job and eventually hit on a winning combination of GM, coaching & players which resulted in a Super Bowl victory for the friggin iggles.
Thats not an option in Dallas, where a self absorbed, ego maniac completely inferior to those he has to compete against will not allow any person, no matter how talented, motivated and/or experienced takeover the football side of the business.
Why?...because that would take away from the limelight the asshole owner desperately seeks and needs.
Not to mention how miserable the prick would actually be were he to hire a GM, let them do their job and it resulted in a Super Bowl win as that would be a glaring indictment of the horrific job he's done the last 25 years and leave him empty handed with none of the credit he desperately covets.
I expect his spawn to double down on this philosophy once jeri is 6 feet under because imagine the upheaval that would occur if a GM was hired following Jeri's demise and the Cowboys won a Super Bowl. Everyone would have a field day torching Jeri's shitty methods over the last ____ years and his spawn surely cant handle any criticism of their father now or long after his departure.

We're fucked!
