In a recent instance, Dak Prescott, the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, has expressed his disagreement with the prevailing idea that the team lacks a strong culture. He finds it unsettling to be repeatedly questioned about this matter, feeling personally “attacked” whenever it arises.
Skip Bayless, a prominent figure on FS1’s Undisputed, weighed in on Prescott’s remarks, pointing fingers at owner Jerry Jones as the root of the issue.
“Jerry Jones at the very top, is way too close to too many players as ‘Daddy Jerry’ and so, the point is, that it’s too easy to be a Dallas Cowboy because you don’t fear for your job.”
It’s understandable to feel that the Cowboys’ players and coaches don’t fear for their jobs. Jones shockingly made the decision to keep head coach Mike McCarthy after a brutal playoff collapse against the Green Bay Packers. He has always been a players owner.
Bayless suggested that legendary coaches like Jimmy Johnson or Bill Parcells wouldn’t tolerate such circumstances.
The Cowboys’ inability to make a Super Bowl appearance in recent years, coupled with their failure to advance beyond the divisional round of the playoffs since the 1995-96 season, underscores the persistent challenges they face in reaching the pinnacle of success.
As the 2024 season approaches in September, it remains to be seen whether the Dallas Cowboys can overcome these hurdles and make a significant impact on the field. If they can’t, Jerry Jones must make some major moves to get the franchise over the hump.
