"One of the criticisms of this team, and namely this front office, ever since The Playoff Loss that Will Not Be Referenced happened two years ago, has been that they have operated without any kind of North Star. The Cowboys are never going to do exactly what we want them to do, but if all of their energy and resources are moving in one direction based on one overall plan, at least that is a path born of and carrying logic."
"We do not need to re-litigate the events of the last two years, but in choosing to delay extensions, getting them done in the eleventh hour, keeping a coach in a lame duck year, trading for a player in a contract year, trading away arguably the best player on the team (to name a few things), the Cowboys were not clearly doing anything."
The Dallas Cowboys hired Christian Parker as defensive coordinator while acknowledging the hire could ultimately fail. Some observers view the move as probabilistically likely to prove unsuccessful, yet the organization treated the hire as a concrete decision. The franchise faced criticism for operating without a clear North Star after actions such as delaying contract extensions, completing deals at the eleventh hour, keeping a coach in a lame-duck year, trading for a player in a contract year, and trading away arguably the team's best player. Those actions created a perception of aimless existence, treading water rather than following a coherent, singular plan.
