2026 Random Cowboys Stuff Thread...

I actually listened to a Campo interview 105.3 did the other day. Pretty funny, Campo basically admitted he was a puppet, even called himself a "company man", and said he'd do things differently if he could.

Also said Pettine was just there in a support role and wouldn't become the defacto GM.... But you never know what Jerry is thinking. Said he could do anything.

Also asked when is long enough for the "new system" to not be an excuse and said, "We're approaching that time, yeah."

That's what I've never understood about these puppets like Campo, Garrett, Schotty, etc.

I get it if you're a few games into season 1. Hell, I'll even give you the entire first season to be an obedient dog.

But once you're in season 2 or later and things are looking bleak? I never understood why these guys didn't just do things the way they wanted to. When you can see the writing on the wall as Campo surely did in 2002, Garrett in 2019, McCarthy in 2024, etc. , I never understood why at that point, why aren't you just taking full control and telling Jerry to shove it?

If he fires your midseason, you're still getting your money. And even better, I think you come out looking like the good guy.

Imagine the headlines if it's week 6 and you get fired because as the HC, you said it was your decision who plays and who doesn't, etc.?

EVERYONE would take the coaches side.

So good on Schotty for showing SOME backbone with what he said yesterday about CP being in the booth.

If you're gonna drown, might as well drown doing it your way.

Why when I see stuff like this…. why do I picture Jerry staring at himself in the mirror with Frank Sinatra - My Way blaring in the background ?

Defacto GM? Where did that come from? I hadn't even heard rumors about that until now.

I have said this about multiple coaches in the past. Might as well go down swinging. Not only for your pride and hopeful success, but for future job opportunities.
