CeeDee Lamb has had enough of Jerry Jones and the front office. You, me, and every Cowboys fan watching this circus? Same boat. Lamb took his frustration straight to X, reposting a tweet about Dallas discussing a Micah Parsons trade with a simple but loaded caption: “Y’all aren’t tired of this? Every offseason, top of the charts… Let’s just win ball games and that’s with 11! SMH.” Translation? Enough drama. Start winning.

And honestly, can you blame him? The fanbase lost its mind when JJ promoted Brian Schottenheimer to head coach. Now, a Parsons trade? That’s like throwing lighter fluid on an already blazing fire. But while Cowboys Nation debates whether JJ has lost his touch, Schottenheimer is out here quietly assembling his staff.

His two biggest moves? Matt Eberflus as DC and Klayton Adams as OC. Those are the guys expected to set the tone. But the latest addition? A familiar name in Dallas.

Enter Carlos Polk. If that name rings a bell, it’s because he’s been here before—twice. First as a player in ‘08, then as an assistant in ‘13 and ‘19. Now? He’s back again, this time as the assistant special teams coach under Nick Sorensen. Polk wanted the coordinator job, but Dallas gave it to Sorensen, who just got let go by the 49ers. That’s another choice raising eyebrows, considering John Fassel left for the Titans. But Polk? He knows the Cowboys’ culture. Maybe that counts for something.

Before this, Polk spent three years coaching Chicago’s special teams. Before that? Jacksonville. And before that? San Diego. Oh, and in case you were wondering, yes—he played under Eberflus in Tampa. So, there’s a reunion happening in Dallas. Will that chemistry fix the Cowboys’ mess? Different question. But clearly, Schottenheimer is betting on familiarity.

So, where does this leave Dallas? Still chaotic, still unpredictable. Lamb’s out here pleading for stability. Parsons’ future is suddenly a question mark. And Jerry Jones? He is enjoying the circus that he created.

Jerry Jones and cluelessness go hand in hand

Jerry Jones is shocked. Again. Somehow, after watching the Cowboys stumble to a 7-10 record, losing Dak Prescott in week 9, and firing Mike McCarthy, Jones still can’t believe his team isn’t in Super Bowl LIX. He told The Athletic, “I wouldn’t have signed Dak Prescott, the highest-paid player in the NFL, if now wasn’t when we wanted to win.” Sounds serious, right? But here’s the thing—he’s been saying some version of this for decades.

The Cowboys entered the season with three straight 12-win campaigns, only to flame out in the playoffs every time. And yet, Jones still played the we’re all in card before the 2024 season, throwing $376 million at contract extensions for Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. Then, when the wheels fell off, he pivoted to another classic move—firing the coach and promoting from within. Enter Brian Schottenheimer, the new head coach, and apparently, Jones’ next grand plan to fix it all.

If you’re a Cowboys fan, this has to feel like déjà vu. Big-money extensions. Lofty expectations. Epic postseason failures. Repeat. The difference this time? Dallas didn’t even make it to the postseason. No “puncher’s chance,” no heartbreak loss—just an outright collapse. And yet, Jones keeps using the same recycled lines. “We’re going to do everything we can to get there.” Sure, Jerry. But at what point does “everything” include real change?

Because at the end of the day, Cowboys fans don’t care about the price tag on Prescott’s contract or how many Schottenheimers Jerry has known. They care about winning. And right now? That feels further away than ever.
