ESPN’s Robert Griffin III has voiced his disapproval of the culture within the Dallas Cowboys organization.
Speaking recently on Get Up, Griffin, a former NFL player, expressed his belief that significant changes are necessary for the team to achieve success. “They have to figure out a way to allow a coach to come in there. I think a coach that can challenge Jerry Jones and make him uncomfortable is the only way that the Cowboys are going to get over the hump,” Griffin remarked, as reported by On3. “Right now, they’re too cuddly, like teddy bears. Especially when it comes to the line of scrimmage.”
Griffin’s remarks suggest skepticism regarding head coach Mike McCarthy’s ability to instigate the required transformation. Despite McCarthy’s commendable regular-season performances, he has yet to propel the team to greater heights.

Stephen Jones spoke about the team’s culture at the Combine:
“I think, you know, from the organization on down, we feel good about our culture. You always want to be better; I will say that,” Jones said, via Jon Machota of The Athletic. “If your results aren’t winning the Super Bowl, I think everybody said how do you ultimately be the last guy standing. But I think overall, between organizationally, and between our coach, personnel department, I think our leadership on our team is outstanding. You know you are always going to have somebody who is going to say something.
The Dallas Cowboys have struggled to advance to an NFC Championship Game since the 1995-96 season, coincidentally also the last time they clinched a Super Bowl victory.
With owner Jerry Jones reportedly fully committed to the upcoming 2024 season, the organization aims to reverse this trend and pursue championship success.
