Has anyone thought about Cal's ego and his needing to have TOTAL control? Let me explain...
One of the things Cal wanted control over was the NIL $$$. Mitch said no. Arkansas said we'll give you lots of NIL to buy a great team. Now obviously the two biggest are Tyson Chicken man and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
Now I don't know much about Tyson, but Jerry Jones is a MASSIVE CONTROL FREAK!! Now if Jones is going to give a lot of $$$, he is going to want something in return!! Examples could be referring players HE WANTS to Cal and if Cal says no, there could be trouble brewing. Even helping Cal pick staff, telling Cal how to coach. If you don't know much about Jones and the Cowboys, you are probably thinking right now, she is nuts and doesn't know what she's talking about.
I used to love the Cowboys when I was younger. I loved Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer, etc. And some of my favorite players were on the Cowboys. When Jerry Jones bought the team, it took a couple of years, but he started to "help coach". He had many arguments with the coaches and he was down on the field trying to be in charge...never up in the owners box. What's so funny is the arguments were televised and the whole world could watch Jones fighting with his coach. He also had players he did and didn't like(favorites like Cal). He would actually tell the coach who he thought should play. Good players would get fired and bad ones stayed on the team.
It became a chaotic mess and they started to become a bad team. Games they should have won...they didn't.
My point to all of this...what is going to happened after the honeymoon period is over and Jones starts to flex him muscles and give Cal his opinions on any and all subjects? Both being control freaks, how long will that last? Things might be good for a year or two, but things will turn sour.
I agree with
@Bkocats that Call will do well for the first or even the second season. He has something to prove. But, the wheels WILL come off. Both men can't help themselves.
GO BIG BLUE AND
COACH POPE, TOO!!!
