While the depths may be a bit more pronounced, 2020 is not the first time the Dallas Cowboys have obviously been in need of drastic action. We saw the team largely fall apart in 2015 and, to a lesser extent, in 2017. As has been customary since Jerry Jones bought the team, the plan was to rebuild while still competing for the playoffs the next year with some new personnel and a few coaching changes, although Jason Garrett hung on to his job in those years. And it worked, sort of, as Dallas returned to the playoffs in 2016 and 2018.
