Yes, under league rules all NFL teams are required to interview at least one African American.The only person I remember interviewing was Marvin Lewis.

Agreed Beast. Clappy didn't get the nickname "8 & 8" for nothing. He got fired because he/we was going nowhere fast after a way too long time.Bill, Wade, and Mike have all coached multiple NFL teams, Clappy could not even get an interview with Div 3 Western Omaha for a HC position.
So please spare me the false equivalency narrative about Garrett.
Ultimately and overall, that's true. But when comparing a 4 year stint to a 10 year stint, it is indeed a factor. 10 chances compared to 4 chances is a definite advantage.Comparing length of time doesn't matter. McCarthy has failed to achieve what he was hired for. For some reason he gets another shot this year. When he fails again, it won't matter that he only got half as many years as Garrett did. The bottom line is he still won't have achieved what he was hired for.
Yes but two in Parcells and Garrett had to rebuild or retool and two in Phillips and McCarthy took over more playoff caliber teams.Ultimately and overall, that's true.

Oooo, not w/ Tuna, that 2007 team Tuna built was a juggernaut. Too bad he wasn't kept around to complete it.Better than we were with Garret, Phillips, Tuna and Gailey.

That’s at least is what it appears to look like .Yes but remember it matters little who the coach is in Dallas.
Yep and why in many ways Phillips was arguably our worst HC since Bill as far as doing less with what he had.Oooo, not w/ Tuna, that 2007 team Tuna built was a juggernaut. Too bad he wasn't kept around to complete it.
Parcells fixed a disaster. Handed a winner to Phillips. Phillips and Garrett destroyed a generation of Cowboys football.That’s at least is what it appears to look like .
Our last 4 HC’s , Parcells, Phillips , Garrett and McCarthy all have had similar lack of success.
And all have had similar struggles with our ownership undermining their authority and meddling.
There’s been one constant throughout and that’s ultimately where our focus should be when holding ultimate responsibility .
While I would have liked our chances better with Parcells and I agree that he resurrected the disaster, I’m not completely sold that team was more than it was. I think Bill had some concerns with Romo.Parcells fixed a disaster. Handed a winner to Phillips. Phillips and Garrett destroyed a generation of Cowboys football.
The rebuild wasn't finished. And there was no one w/ the brains to finish it.While I would have liked our chances better with Parcells and I agree that he resurrected the disaster, I’m not completely sold that team was more than it was. I think Bill had some concerns with Romo.
Right… and who’s fault ultimately was that?The rebuild wasn't finished. And there was no one w/ the brains to finish it.
JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJeeerrrrraaahhhhhh!!!!!!Right… and who’s fault ultimately was that?
Bill did a great job rebuilding from the wasteland of the Campo days, obviously. But what you said is not true. It did not go consistently downhill. Wade won more than Parcells did. Won the division. Got to the playoffs. Won a playoff game. None of which Parcells did.But like you said we were set up for success by Bill in 2007 and it went consistently down after that until it totally collapsed in 2010.
Dallas might have won in 2007 if Bill remained. That’s just a guess but a very likely guess. Instead the old drunk ran out another HOF coach to get his yes man.While I would have liked our chances better with Parcells and I agree that he resurrected the disaster, I’m not completely sold that team was more than it was.

Yeah I agree if Bill felt he had a SB contender I think he comes back for another year.While I would have liked our chances better with Parcells and I agree that he resurrected the disaster, I’m not completely sold that team was more than it was. I think Bill had some concerns with Romo.
It’s all speculative . I definitely agree I like our chances better with Bill.Dallas might have won in 2007 if Bill remained. That’s just a guess but a very likely guess. Instead the old drunk ran out another HOF coach to get his yes man.
If you want facts we can start with the team declining after 2007. Missed the playoffs in 2008. And 2009 playoffs blowout to Vikings sent alarms.Bill did a great job rebuilding from the wasteland of the Campo days, obviously. But what you said is not true. It did not go consistently downhill. Wade won more than Parcells did. Won the division. Got to the playoffs. Won a playoff game. None of which Parcells did.
No, I'm not saying Wade is a better coach than Parcells. Of course not. But the team did not go downhill from when Parcells left after Romo dropped the FG hold.
And 2010 was a disaster because Romo got hurt. It wasn't really any worse than Garrett's 2015 except that in 2010, Jerry had his handpicked pet project ready to be installed.
Your Garrett love is so cute, though. It really is. I've never seen anyone twist facts to try to make a terrible coach look good the way you do.
