Quoted from RobT:
Oh man, I couldn't possibly agree with this more!
When I saw Jason Garrett with that huge ass grin on his face, laughing it up with Dez after he scored the TD, I immediately told my wife "man, I really hate Jason Garrett". She thought that was a dumb thing for me to say. "He's just excited about them scoring a TD, what's wrong with that"? I told her that he does that all the time, and it's stupid, more fan like than coach-like, and that he looks like he just won the f*cking Superbowl! Damn idiot didn't even win the freaking game.

Exactly. Act like you've done this before. Also with Dez being such a head case ( most of the super talented guys are, Dez, T.O., Chad Johnson early in his career) you need a no bullshit head coach to keep them in check.

No bull coach? Does that mean he doesn't take Jerry's crap either. Too bad Jerry pissed off Parcells

Exactly.. like Jimmy Johnson. Not many of those coaches. I bet Bill Cowher would have the cowboys in the superbowl within 2 years. Especially if the Giants keep playing like total shit and the NFC continues to be the weaker of the 2 conferences.

Maybe Jerry, just like Al Davis, should actually try coaching.

I think the only person worse than Al Davis was Matt Millen. Detroit got INSTANTLY better the second he left. And when Al Davis was around their 3 most successful seasons in the last 15 years were with Jon Gruden. (Well Gruden was only with them 2 years but Bill Callahan took over Gruden's team much like Barry Switzer did in Dallas with JJ and Callahan went 11-5 but the next year went 4-12) Again a strong coach is EXTREMELY important with an Owner who can't keep his hands out of the football program.

Al Davis was a great coach, and before the later years he was also a damn good partner and general manager. But when trying to keep a coach on a string, it is always a recipe for disaster. His problems with Marcus Allen sealed his fate, imo.

Jerry is already the owner and GM. He might as well coach and park the fans cars.

I can't believe how bad the G-Men are this year. It's the curse of the team hosting the Super Bowl. The Jets playing bad have nothing to do with the curse. They are just a bad team.

yes it would, but then jerry wouldn't be on camera and in his luxury box hobnobbing with celebs. He's either going to throw mad money around and try and get cowher, or go the maverick way and get a college coach he can boss around. I have to admit, i love watching the cowboys implode. Minn should trade petersen to dallas and get back all those picks they gave up for herschel walker. Jones might be dumb enough to go for it.

So I just did the math. If by chance the Dolphins and the Patriots both end the season 10-6, the division crown goes to Miami because of a better conference record. And the way that both teams have been playing of late, there is a chance of this happening. But there is also a chance that the fins won't make the playoffs at all even if they do win out.. There is also a chance the Patriots won't make the playoffs at all. We'll have to just wait and see.

The guy the Cowboys needed was Sean Peyton, former assistant, but everybody down here knew he was too smart to take that gig.

Cowboys are absolutely f*cked.

The Spurs ought to loan Popovich to the Cowboys, I guarantee you he would do a better job right now! With a good batch of assistants...

They would have to lose ALL their games. Not likely. However I just figured out that if Miami wins their last two, they are in no matter what. Because since the Ravens and the Bengals play each other the last week of the season, they both can't win. Cheers!

As soon as your contract is up, they will make you a yearly deal at the introductory rate, including Sunday ticket. Just ask! And they will throw in premium channels for several months to boot.
