Found an interesting tidbit of info that I didn't know

[sureletsrace]

Per Scott Linehan's Wikipedia page:

"Linehan had previously worked with Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett when they served as assistants on the staff of Nick Saban's Miami Dolphins in 2005."

I didn't realize they had coached together before.

Explains it.

Right? I pride myself on keeping up with coaching connections too and this totally bypassed me.

Yeah, nice find. Sort of falls in place with the buddy buddy system, something we need to get rid of.

Schmucks? They have this team about to win the division for the second time in three years.

Took em long enough. Glad the schmucks finally "figured" it out.

Only because of our .. ahh, hell. Who knows.

It's the long sleeves Zeke and Dak are wearing.

I give Garrett a bit of credit. But most of it is due to Cooper and our defense.

Linehan sucks. The playbook sucks and that's on Garrett.

My point is simply that people want to credit Dak with all the wins, so they should be crediting everyone, top to bottom.

Richard and Rod have the team about to win. Those schmucks are coming along for the ride.

Conveniently left out our defense giving up only 19 ppg over the win streak (17.6 if you take out the 2-yard TD drive in Philly, and 16.2 if you take out the WAS TD in garbage time.)

This team wins because the defense is balling. That's it. There's nothing else to analyze.

The offense has not made one change since Cooper came along - but his ability makes a lot of things work that hadn't before. They're still running the exact same offense.

Very common
Most HC hire assistants they are familiar with

[droopdog7]

Um, I already knew that. It was mentioned when the hire was made.

So what?

I just thought it was interesting, that's all. I didn't notice until last night.

Yes, schmucks. Especially Linehan. Don't lose sight of the big picture.
