I can't tell if Spagnola is just an idiot or it's in his contract that he gets a bonus the more he pushes ridiculous pro-Cowboys narratives.
- "Live in a world of instant gratification, our microwave society where we don't want to wait for nothing........."
It's been 8 full years with Garrett, you twit. 2 playoff wins. Eight years. All this franchise's fans have been doing is waiting. Whether that be 8 years with Garrett with the franchise no closer to the SB than they were with Phillips, or the fact we have 4 playoff wins in 23 years since our last SB run.
- "Just pop with deal in the toaster, wait but a couple of minutes, and breakfast tasting like cardboard became yours."
This is a terrible analogy but also stupid. His point seems to be that fans are impatient and things like winning takes time. Really? Eagles won a SB in Year 2 of Pederson's run after the disaster that was Chip Kelly. Rams made the SB in Year 2 of McVay's run after Fisher had run the franchise aground. Stop, Spags. Please stop.
- "That the Cowboys haven't won at least two playoff games in a season since 1995 seems to land at Garrett's feet, the likes of Switzer, CAmpo, Parcells and Phillips ducking the slingshots."
Well, for starters, Switzer did win multiple playoff games in 1995, so it was dumb to include his name. Secondly, Spags undermines his own argument here. He seemingly wants to make sure we blame Campo and Parcells and Phillips for our run but Garrett has advanced the franchise no further than these guys have. A year before Garrett took over from Phillips, they won a playoff game. In 8 years, that's as far as Garrett has gotten. So no, Garrett isn't taking all the arrows. He just happens to be the next coach who hasn't done much.
- "Nevermind Garrett was the NFL's 2016 Coach of the Year"
Lovie Smith, Mike Smith, Marvin Lewis were also Coaches of the Year. You want any of them, Spags?
His argument is basically the same we get from the pro-Garrett supporters here - regular season wins carry more weight than playoff success, so the Cowboys 32 wins over 3 years is more impressive than say the Eagles 29 wins, despite the fact the Eagles have a SB win in that time frame and this year went as far as we did in the playoffs. Let's also point out that in that dumb comparison, he's comparing a coach in his 6-7-8 years to a coach that is a first time head coach in Philly and just finished his 3rd year as a HC. This type of logic and analysis is breathtakingly funny.
And his examples of coaches that shouldn't have been moved on from is idiotic. In every one of his examples, the team was either flatlining or trending down. The fact the franchises did worse after firing those guys speaks to the fact they just hired bad coaches. In other words, the logic that the Lions shouldn't have moved on from Caldwell because the next coach might now be worse is some of the dumbest logic out there. It says nothing about the quality of Caldwell. It only speaks of the quality of the guy they hired next.
His logic is basically don't try to get better because hey, it might get worse. That's a loser's mentality. Someone who is comfortable with mediocrity and doesn't aspire to be great.
