Michael Irvin: Leadership Czar

We've all heard about the new "Car Czar" that's supposed to help Detroit figure out how to make a profit.  What I think the Cowboys need is to appoint a coach-level "leadership czar." 

 

I know this is unconventional, but hear me out:  why not hire Michael Irvin to provide leadership and keep people in line.  Listen to what he has to say"

 

"'What I will not have - what I will not have - is at no time will I have you going at my offensive coordinator. The same offensive coordinator that got both of you paid mounds of money, and you're running to the press instead of running in here to talk. If you've got a problem, bring it in here and we'll talk it out. That's what teams do.'"

Irvin also had messages that he'd deliver one-on-one to the Cowboys' two highest-profile players.

To T.O.: "'We were getting ready to go down the road, on an end run to get to the playoffs, and all of this stuff started. If you ever do that again, I'm going to cut you on the spot and then I'm going to spread rumors about you to make sure you never play in this league again.' That's what Jimmy would do."

To Romo: "He will be held accountable in practice. If I don't see it in practice, if he doesn't look good in practice, it won't even have a chance to be shown on game day. That's just the bottom line."

The blog writer ends by asking whether Wade or Jerry should deliver this message.  I say hire Irvin and let him do it.

My Sentiments Exactly

I didn’t even notice you wrote a similar post, but I couldn’t agree more. This guy has been and always will be a leader. He is the truth at Wide Reciever and you’ll be hard pressed to EVER find another WR who has more credibility and respect. Jerry Rice is the best who did it, but I’m not sure he can ever inspire a group of 300lb men to give their all to him the way Mike did….Period. As a fan of Terrell, I’m sad to say that his brashness and big mouth has cost him that respect and for that, he’ll never be more than a star athlete.

I actually think thats a pretty good idea.

I cant think of someone who would demand as much respesct in the Cowboys locker room as Irvin

"Ask Philly was it hard tryin' a stop TO, he da main reason that the fans would come fo'."
