For 40 years Ive been the most passionate Cowboys fan - says everyone who knows me. And no matter how good or bad the season is going Ive always thought we could turn it on and win it all, until we are eliminated. Always looked forward to a new season with optimism thinking this could be the year. Loved when we won and was miserable when we lost.
Now . . . . . . . . . . . . . . there is no joy or thrill when we win. Losses dont even move the pain meter needle. I watch because its a lifelong habit and I dont know what else to do when its football season. I like wins but the emotion is about 1% of what it used to be. Losses dont even hurt anymore. And its all because of that sorry loser Red Clapping Clown Fraud. He alone, when even Jerry couldnt do it, has killed my joy and passion in following this team. 40+ years of fan says lets win and go on a run. I could never root for a loss. But if a loss means Garrett is finally gone I hope it is the most humiliating loss in team history because the joy of seeing him gone would far outweigh any joy that would come from a win with him still around.
I feel exactly the same BUT because of jeri not Garrett, whom I'm ambivilant about. I have always and will still maintain Jason is just a symptom of the larger problem and I'm still not convinced, despite his flaws, that he's not the best we're ever gonna get with the jackass owner still walking the earth, and thats not intended to be a compliment to Garrett.
Jeri (& his spawn to an extent) has killed my passion:
Remove them from the football side of things and let that room be filled with football experts who have devoted their lives to understanding the intricacies of the game, personel, team building, etc, etc and then my hope and optimism will return.
Until this happens, it won't, changing coaches will be tantamount to moving around deck chairs on the titanic because jeri will NEVER allow any coach to come here and steal his thunder and be given enough control over football operations. It'll be the same type of person just thrilled to be given the job and will check his balls in at jeri's office prior to being announced HC.
When the day finally does come that Garrett is no longer HC, I expect to see the same type of person you saw in Campo, Gailey and Phillips. There will never be another Parcells/Jimmy type coach as long as jeri is alive, put that in 3 inch headlines and feel free to rub it in my face if proven wrong

get this one guys. I am listening to WFAN in NY right now. Hosts are Jody Mac and Gary Myers. Myers just wrote a new book about the Cowboys and he appears to be tight with the Jones family.
They just had Stephen Jones on for an interview. A tough get on game day. Myers starts to ask this question:
Has Jason Garrett earned a contract extension (at this point Stephen says "absolu".... then stops) and myers finshes his question with...based on what the team accomplished this year?
then stephen says....we're only focused on this game. We want to get a win tonight and worry about other things later...blah bah.
myers says...Stephen as I was asking that question, I swear you started to say "absolutely".
and stephen says...no no, we are just wanting to focus on tonight, seattle is a good team and we need to get a win tonight.
I swear you started to say "absolutely".
of course he did, there's zero doubt in my mind, he's coming back for 2019 except for death or health issues (or he grows a pair and resigns)
Lose tonight and prepare to be amazed.
Garrett is 100% gone if we lose. Book it.
