“I like our coaching staff."

Considering the continued offensive inadequacy for the Dallas Cowboys, there probably couldn't be five more terrifying words uttered by Jerry Jones. A trend that began on the back end of 2017 has now carried over to the start of 2018. Despite their win against the New York Giants in Week 2, it could be argued they didn't play well then either, 10 of their 20 points coming on the first two drives of the game but failing to score another touchdown until late in the fourth quarter. They were averaging a paltry 13.17 points per game in their last six regular season outings up to that point, and were ranked 30th in total offense and 31st in passing.

During that stretch, they're seeing an obvious regression in quarterback Dak Prescott and part of that is accountable to the QB himself, but also to the Kroger-brand play-calling being employed by offensive coordinator Scott Linehan. What's worse is just how empowered the team has allowed him to become, and that's a gash to the decision-making of head coach Jason Garrett. Both Jones and Garrett gave Linehan free reign to to overhaul the offense in 2018, and so he did, and now they're worse than they were when they went 9-7 and missed the playoffs only months ago. All of the scapegoats are gone, with Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and Jason Witten all no longer around to be anyone's scratching post.

Having now been embarrassed on their home field against the Tenneessee Titans, and on the heels of a bye week, it's time for a shakeup bigger than simply firing an offensive line coach. If it turns out Jones is posturing, as he was with Wade Phillips in 2010, there are several candidates who could step in and right the ship starting in 2019.

Pull the trigger, Mr. Jones.
