Dallas Cowboys Prioritizing Profits Over Winning

The Dallas Cowboys’ recent hiring decisions have sparked significant criticism from media, fans, and people inside the world of football. This is especially true for the appointment of Brian Schottenheimer as head coach.

  • Lack of Experience: Schottenheimer’s lack of head coaching experience at the NFL level is a major concern. Many fans believe it signals a lack of commitment to winning at the highest level.
  • Focus on Profitability: The Cowboys are the most valuable franchise in the world. Most fans feel that the organization prioritizes revenue and profitability over on-field success.

  • Comparison to Other Teams: They have not reached that moment yet. No one Jerry respects has called him and his boys out for ruining the franchise. They lack commitment to hiring the best available coach to lead the franchise. Kirk Herbstreit called out the University of Miami a few years ago. After years of bargain basement shopping for head coaches, they made a financial commitment and hired Mario Cristobal. It showed the fans of Miami winning does matter. Let’s be honest. The Cowboys should have been deciding between Deion Sanders, Ryan Day, or Marcus Freeman. They should not be choosing between Larry, Moe, or Curly.

  • These concerns by all fans show their growing frustration. Fans feel that the Cowboys are not maximizing their potential or care about giving the team a fair shot. They believe the team is failing to deliver a consistently competitive product on the field.

I am starting to realize I will never see another Super Bowl for the Dallas Cowboys in my lifetime. Things will be much worse when penny pinching Cap Boy takes over.

We are hoping for a Danny Snyder forced sale. If it does not happen, it is the end of a marquee franchise for the next 20 years. To paraphrase one of my favorite movies “save us Roger (Staubach) you are our only hope…” Maybe a the group of former Cowboys can buy the team from the Jones-Palpatine family

Yesterday was the start of a sad time for loyal Dallas Cowboys fans.

Honest Fan Insights on NFL Draft Prospects–Penn State Edition

I have always believed that passionate fans have a deeper understanding of their teams and players than agenda-driven sports reporters. Fans are not concerned if a player was rude to a reporter in the locker room; instead, they focus on the player’s performance and character without being swayed by personal grudges.

These dedicated fans work forty hours a week and reserve their weekends in the fall to watch their teams compete. Many attend a few games each season and often create a special viewing area in their homes to cheer for their teams.

To gather honest opinions on the players from their schools who will be eligible for the NFL Draft, I decided to reach out to my passionate friends who support various teams.

First up is lifelong Penn State fan and former season ticket holder Scott, who discusses the first players expected to be drafted on day one of the NFL Draft.

1. Abdul Carter DE/EDGE 6-3 259

Unanimous All-American 2024

Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year 2024

2 X first-team All-Big Ten 2023, 2024

Second-team All-Big Ten 2022

Strength: Speed to rush the passer.  He switched to DE from being a linebacker.  Physical and aggressive.

Weakness: He still needs more time as an edge rusher.  Can over pursue at times.

What was the best game or performance you remember him having during his career at Penn State? He had an outstanding playoff run. The play I remember most is when he broke through the Notre Dame line and sacked Riley Leonard using just one arm.

Is he destined for success in the NFL, CFL, or WFL?:  First-round NFL draft pick

Would you want him on your team? Absolutely yes!

Likely landing spot:  New York Jets
