The Cowboys’ end-of-season press conference was laughable

He went on to say being a former head coach is not a requirement for the next defensive coordinator and the Cowboys could look at a first-time coordinator as well. Cowboys have had a former head coach as their DC since 2014.

Schotty said they want to find someone who’s a great teacher and a great communicator … who’s passionate about football, and who can get complicated information.

Jerry said they have not started requesting formal interviews yet, but plan to put some in later this week.

Pickens & Williams

Something that was brought up multiple times was whether the front office would bring back either George Pickens or Javonte Williams.

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones signing Williams is at the top of their list of offseason priorities: “We want to bring him back and sign him to a multiple-year deal,” he said.

That was the most direct they would get with either of the two.

Pickens is also a main priority, but he has the same agent as Micah Parsons, and I think they wanted to avoid being as direct as they were about Williams.

When asked about it, Jones went on and on about how much the Cowboys think of Pickens and then was immediately asked if they would get a long-term deal done sooner or later. He avoided the question. Shocker.

They did say that if Parsons had been signed long term, they wouldn’t have the money to sign Pickens. My honest guess is that they slap the franchise tag on him in hopes they get a deal done.

If the franchise tag is applied, Pickens does not have to sign it immediately. If he does not do that, they both have until July 15 to get a long-term deal finished.

March 3rd is the deadline for the Cowboys to use tag in general.

Bust The Budget

Jerry once again ended the conference talking about what they need and want to make sure they do better than how this season ended.

He noted how fans are tired of this and that and said that they need to maybe do things differently, just like when he said they were going to go “all in,” and never did and they somehow got worse???

“We want to get out here and do better than we did this year. (There’s) the incentive to, dare I say it, bust the budget to try to get something done now? Yes,” Jerry said.

He ended the conference saying that his goal in life was to retire with the most Super Bowls won. That is what made me laugh the most.

He is 83 years old, has not made a conference title game in 30 years, and yes, he really said that.

Robert Kraft has 6, sorry Jerry, do us all a favor and just retire now so maybe we can stop suffering.

Who I am I kidding though? He loves the attention, and he lives for this type of stuff right here, not winning like he did before I was born.
