As of now Jason Garrett has done nothing to prove that he is worthy of coaching the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas has failed to win big under his guidance and have retained nothing better than a .500 record. Alright, maybe that’s not entirely accurate but he is 16-15 as a head coach which is not impressive especially when managing an elite NFL team that has infinite potential.

These past seasons, the Cowboys have been heavily criticized for their lack of player leadership and discipline. There is no reason for the players to look for a leader amongst their teammates. Don’t get me wrong player leadership is crucial for chemistry on the field, but what’s the point if there is no regulation, no guidance, and no assertiveness coming from the supposed “head coach” of the team?

Was leadership ever questioned when Bill Parcels was leading this team? Nope. Uncertainty and doubt began to settle when Jerry Jones decided to hire guys like Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett to lead the Dallas Cowboys. Leadership starts with the coaches and carries on to the players, if your coach can’t get emotionally involved in a game as if he’s the one playing in it, than he’s not leadership material. As of right now the 2012 Cowboys are heading for no better than a .500 record under Jason Garrett, which is nothing to take lightly.

All in all, if Jerry Jones would swallow his pride and fire Jason Garrett, Rob Ryan can probably get this team turned around, or at least give this team the leadership it’s been missing. I’m not suggesting that Rob Ryan will turn this season around, but maybe it may help Jerry Jones evaluate all his options by the end of the season, when he fires Jason Garrett. Cowboys need a head coach with a solid background, a guy like John Gruden or Bill Cowher would certainly be attractive options for a team that should be competing in the playoffs. Who do you think would be the best replacement for Jason Garrett?

Tiger Woods will have a press conference on Friday.  He will discuss his transgressions, his future in golf, and he will apologize.  The world will be listening.  According to public relations experts on sports talk radio, Tiger will be contrite and will explain how he is flawed and how he seeks forgiveness from the public and his family who he betrayed.

You know what I’m hoping he says?  First I hope he says that people are too nosy and they need to mind their own business.  He’s a professional golfer and not an elected official.  He’s not a member of the clergy.  People want to be Tiger Woods because he achieves greatness on the golf course, not because he’s a family man.  But he will say he is sorry, incredibly sorry.  He’s a man who made an unbelievable mistake.  He doesn’t know why he did it, but his regret is so very deep.  Why, oh why did he ever get MARRIED!

Then I hope he puts on his very best Chris Rock impersonation.  People say the tiger who mauled Roy from Sigfried and Roy went crazy.  That tiger didn’t go crazy, that tiger went tiger!!!  This billionaire athlete went billionaire athlete.  Tiger Woods may be the very first billionaire to have to apologize to the public for hedging his bets.

Michael Jordan was surreptitiously notorious about his extra curricular activities.  The Chicago media didn’t mention word one.  It wasn’t because they didn’t want to disrupt Jordan’s home life.  Maybe they kept quiet because it was none of their business or it was a different time.  I tend to believe because the media suckled at Jordan’s teet.  He drove interest in the sport to new heights.  Tiger is amazingly similar.  Tiger is the best athlete in his sport and without him, golf is a niche market.  TV ratings plummet, sale of gear plummets, and the player’s prize money plummets.  Yet Tiger has to suffer the slings and arrows of lesser players without 1/10 of Tiger’s outrageous fortune.  And since when have men sided with Sue Ellen over JR?

Now how does this relate to the Dallas Cowboys you may be wondering.  Not very well I will respond.  Though Tony Romo is as close to Jordan and Woods as the Cowboys have.  Quarterback, golfer, dater of starlets.  Women love him, and men want to be him.  Despite heavy pressures, he successfully avoided the nuptial trap like he avoids defensive lineman running free.  He has received criticism for not focusing solely on football.  Tony should never have to apologize for doing what every man would love to do in his spare time and I will never call for his apology.
