Everyone knows the cliché: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Well, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones might finally be leaving the asylum following another season of miserable cuckoo.

“Change is in order when you spend the two seasons in a row down to the last two games and lose them, so we’re going to have to have changes,” Jones said during a radio appearance Wednesday.

So what changes will be in store for the Cowboys?

Well, that’s the million-dollar question. But in an NFL where change comes annually to every franchise, Jones making that statement means big changes will likely be in store.

Rejoice, Cowboys fans.

This guy, personally, would make the biggest change possible (besides getting a new GM) — find a new head coach. Two straight 8-8s with a team as talented as the Cowboys (I know the lack of depth was exposed as the injuries piled up) doesn’t support Jason Garrett, who has one of highest profile jobs in sports seemingly based only on potential alone.

When it appeared Saints coach Sean Payton would be available, I thought the Dallas resident and Super Bowl winner would make the perfect replacement. But with that no longer being possible, the list is much, much less exciting.

A perfect world, however, would include Norv Turner returning to the offensive coordinator role he manned during the Cowboys’ dynasty years — back when Emmitt Smith was running all over defenses, something the Cowboys can’t seem to do under Garrett.

And in that world, Big Sandy native and defensive-minded Lovie Smith could be a possible new head coach to turn the culture around Valley Ranch into a disciplined one — though the Bears missed five of the last six postseasons, Smith’s defenses ranked first in the NFL in takeaways, third-down percentage and three-and-out drives since 2004.

And in an even more perfect world, South Carolina sophomore defensive end Jadeveon Clowney would be available for this spring’s draft — did you see his hit against Michigan?

And in that world, the Cowboys would trade Tony Romo and their first-round selection to the quarterback-needing Kansas City Chiefs for the No. 1 overall pick.

A pass rush featuring Clowney and DeMarcus Ware would be ferocious; much like Romo has been in big-time situations throughout his career (umm, just kidding).

That’s all I’ve got for now, but what about you? What changes do you think the Cowboys should make during the offseason?
