to be fair that is a different era and yes he was a legendary coach but im not sure his style is as successful today. Maybe it is
Of course
@starfan1, I had just brought up one example. But the examples are endless.
Bill Parcells with the Giants, then the Patriots, then the Jets and even to some extent the Cowboys. I didnt always agree with Parcells when he came to Dallas as I felt he was too conservative but he had a culture of winning and accountability that was missing since Jimmy left.
Jimmy Johnson came in 89 and saw the Cowboys had zero talent, the old regime just totally let this team decay away. He came in and cleaned house there were just a few guys on the 92 SB that were on the old team. Newton, Tunei, Irvin, Jeffcoat, I am sure a few others but the team was turned over.
Think about this he performed a rebuild to SB champion in 4 seasons...Man I got on tangents but this for guys like
@Rockport &
@JoeKing who are always disagreeing with me.
Even if we had tanked this year and decided to reset within 2 years you have a new team. Rebuilds do not take long in the NFL. You have to have the cahunas to do it. Have a vision.
Culture eats strategy for breakfast... Yes its a cliche but it is true.
Bill in NE has a culture, Parcells had a culture, Andy, Jimmy Johnson, The Steelers, Ravens, all great organizations start at the top and constantly try to improve their team.
There is no one way to do it.
What the Jones have done to the Cowboys is despicable, it is laughable, the only reason they don't have fans with bags on their heads is the 3 SB's that Jerry got because of Jimmy. Yes he hired him I get it... He does get credit for that. Jerry is not like the Bidwells, or the Brown family... The truth of the matter is... (most important). Super Bowl wins don't mean anything to him. He has three. He is a HOF owner, most valuable franchise. He just wants to keep this jig going. Just float down the river and make sure his team is in the conversation. All publicity is good. The Fact that Stephen A loves to see is lose is music to Jerry's ears. The Cowboys are still relevant in the media. He wants to go between 7-9 & 9-7....
I as a fan have already realized this years ago. Even though I know this it still burns me up.
But the fact that so many fans don't realize this and I get attacked and recently got banned for day with some blueblood character just blows my mind.
This team and organization is just stuck.. 26 years and no championship game appearance. Buckle down for another 10... it is not happening until the ownership realizes a change is required.
