I think Big Mike needed to contextualize “Buy-in”. Do I buy-in to the Cowboys having a winning record, challenging for a division crown, and making the playoffs. Yes, I do. I even believe they’ll target players in the draft more likely to make an immediate impact this year, I’ll bet a few players get jettisoned that we didn’t expect, I’ll wager an FA acquisition (or 2) in the ilk of Cooks & Gilmore are acquired this year, and I expect we’ll get the best Big Mike we can get with him knowing he’s coaching for his coaching life and for part of his football legacy.
That’s where I stop. When it comes to playoff victories, me, and buy-in part ways. Way too early to sell buy-in when we’ve not seen the bill of goods the Cowboys will be putting on the field in 2024. Even then, the organization must understand there’s been a lot of scarring to this fan base the last 28 years and they shouldn’t expect us to simply turn our cheek toward belief.
