That's like grading a Wade Phillips or Norv Turner as HC's .. when it's clear they are better off as coordinators than they are as HCs'
and hell, how many coordinator like coaches, much less HCs even get a chance to get to a Superbowl as Quinn did in ATL vs NE Pats ....
Richard has said he wants to coach as as DC ,..not a secondary coach again. He's received offers (including here under Nolan) as a DB coach but
he wants to be in charge of an entire

Opinion: Ex-NFL coordinator Kris Richard makes statement on league hiring practices, bets on himself instead

Kind of an answer without an answer. Nolan was an unmitigated disaster this year. When teams are running it down your throat and you don’t bring in a third linebacker to stop the bleeding, that really doesn’t have anything to do with personnel or Covid. Even when they supposedly got better during their winning streak, it really was only the turnovers that hid how they were having teams go up and down the field on them with a backup quarterback (e.g., San Francisco). I am not sure what else would have convinced you. You will see that Quinn will be a huge upgrade.

Wade had attacking and competent defenses his first 3 years here regardless of the W-L record.
I’m not knocking Quinn for game management or the special teams fiascos. I’m knocking him for his opposing QB rating being 25th or worse each of the last 3 years some of which included him calling plays.

What's it going to be then, eh?

He will end up the secondary coach.

garrett got 10 years and I remember you contorting yourself many times to excuse his garbage despite years and years of it
so, yes, Garrett got many passes

I’m not but I’m saying holding teams to 20 points doesn’t mean we’ll make the playoffs as the poster I quoted said would happen.

Every once in a great while I’ll say something serious...

It would be tough to beat. We were 1st in overall yards, 1st in yards per game and 6th in total points and points per game.
I agree, I think our offense can be better with Lamb but there were also other factors, such as the teams in our division. For example, the Giants had the 2nd worst defense in the league last year (I think) whereas this year they were top 15. Washington’s defense will only be better as well. We’ve had two of the easiest strengths of schedule for the past two years. I also think zeke is slowing down, with or without a top 10 O line. All of those play a factor.

Lol, maybe? I’ve bet the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl for the past few years.
As far as the rest of what I said...we’ll have to wait until the end of next season to se whether I was serious or not

Good points and I agree to an extent. I believe the offensive line will be above average next season, Dak will be back, Pollard will have an increased role (particularly in the passing game), Lamb will be experienced and smarter, and Schultz will be even better. Regardless of their schedule and the strength of the division, if the Cowboys struggle to average 20 points a game next year some heads need to roll.

Get a feel for the new sheriff on defense.

Do Cowboys have personnel to run Quinn's defense?
Ted Nguyen, NFL film analyst: The Cowboys defenders reportedly complained that Nolan's defense was too complicated, but it feels like the pendulum swung too far in the other direction with the Quinn hire. He runs the old Seattle Cover-3 scheme. Simple, but you have to have blue chip players at every level to make it work. Quinn hasn't coordinated a good defense since the Legion of Boom.

Amen. Hard to think they’ll be able to get a stud DT, LB, CB and S all in one offseason. Quinn’s scheme doesn’t work in a salary cap league unless you’ve amassed multiple top 10 picks like Washington or SF did and Jax did the year they were in the AFC Champ or gotten insanely lucky like Seattle did with 5th rounders turning into pro bowlers

Well said indeed Sir
Think back when Jimmy Johnson came to the Cowboys in 1989 he brought in his DC from Miamith Dave W and he was great and Dallas won a Super Bowl with Dave W then Dave W went to the Bears as head coach and got fired.
