Don't fool yourselves, Parcells is running that team from top to bottom much like Jerry runs this team from top to bottom.

Kilyin;2400617 said:Holy hyperbole batman. They've won four games. It's almost mathematically impossible to regress from a one win season. Increased their legitimacy by 10,000% ?
Let's revisit this topic when December rolls around. Granted, I don't have high expectations for the Cowboys anymore, but let's not pretend the Dolphins are suddenly a worldbeater.

InmanRoshi;2402660 said:When you have Miami's talent level, getting to .500 is a milestone. Remember, Jason Garrett just can't execute his offense with with Patrick Cratyon as his 2nd WR? We have to give away a 1st and a 3rd and provide him with a Pro Bowler caliber talent at every skill position for him to do his job? Miami is winning with Greg Carmillo as their #1 WR.
And given their division and upcoming schedule, playoffs are very much in the picture.

Now look what's he's done since then......jack squat.
If Tony is still improving that team in 3 years, then you can call him a good HC.
BraveHeartFan;2402712 said:Exactly. Giving anyone a great HC tag after all of 8 games is beyond silly.

Alexander;2402596 said:John Madden's coaching philosophy test
1) "As a coach, when your team starts a streak going, you don't let up."
2) "Instead, you've got to be tough."
3) "You've got to be just the opposite of the way the players are."
4) "When your team wins two or three in a row, the players' friends tell them how great they are. But that's when you've got to pound that work ethic into them.
5) "If they win the next game, they'll accept it again the following week. But even before you see them trying to slide, that's when you've got to whap them back into line.
6) "When we were on a losing streak, I'd try to be gentle with my players. Well, not exactly gentle but I'd try not to get upset, not to get angry.
7) "When you're angry, you say things you don't mean. And when your team is losing, angry words hurt and form scars.''

Who is doing more with much much less?
That is the entire point.
jterrell;2403221 said:It isn't much of a milestone against their competition.
Before we lavish praise on Miami perhaps we ought to see if they can beat any real teams.
They are 4-4 and haven't played a team with more than the 5 wins this oh so bad Cowboys team has.
BTW... they are IN LAST PLACE IN THEIR DIVISION.
And with Sparano here our OL struggled which is why we signed Leonard Davis to a huge contract and drafted OL day 1 three years in a row.
