Another good article from Sturm. Glad to see some media like him and Gosselin telling it like it is on this sad situation.

Nice!

Never say never with Jerry. Do the right thing Jerry and Stephen. You won't regret it!

Sean Payton. But we all know it'll never happen

I don't understand why so many people want this guy. I really don't. He has had a few good years. He has been in NO for 9 years and almost half of those years, he was at or below 500 coach with the last 2 years as very horrible years. If they fire Garrett, get a good OC that is hungry for his shot, not some old tired rethread

I'm with you. He is a tremendous offensive mind, however, his team have field a couple of the worst defenses in NFL history.

There is some good there, some bad. There is nothing to me that screams 'He is the only guy the Cowboys should go after'.

Only reason I would be interested is because he has worked with Romo...Romo is too old to start all over, he will likely struggle if he had to pick up an entirely new system.

I won't be too excited for Sean Payton because NO COACH HAS EVER WON A SUPERBOWL WITH TWO TEAMS! People assume you upgrade by adding a championship coach but history tells us quite the opposite.

Well, the boys now have a great defense. Sean is offensive minded... How would this not work again?

I will never understand the Romo is too old to start over comments. He is a very smart guy. He can learn a new offense. As for Payton, one of these days someone will win a SB with two different teams. Mike Holgrem should have done it if not for the most rigged game in history. You add a Payton because he is truly an offensive genius who has shown the capability to get the most out of his offensive personnel not to mention his was the main influence on Romo in his first few years here and made Drew Brees a superstar. He is the type of guy we need to get the most out of Romo now and to develop a young QB for the future. Do we really want Garrett developing a new QB??? Payton is everything Garrett is not and actually has a resume.

"They seemed tone deaf to their circumstances on offense for much of the year with no risk taking at proper times and sitting on tendencies. Even worse, they seemed to play games as if they were the favorite and if their backup QB could simply take what was given and never risk the ball."
Great quote by Sturm. This drove me crazy all season. I almost wish Dan Bailey would have some minor injury before game time where they wouldn't have him available for a game to see if they would coach any different.

Brees was turning into a superstar before Payton. Payton helped further develop him but he was a probowler before and only became a free agent because of Phillip Rivers. You can give Payton credit for Romo but Parcells and even Garrett deserve some credit for the QB Romo has become today (considering how turnover prone he was in his early years).

I wouldn't be against a Payton signing but I would rather get someone hungry, there are other coaches out there that can develop a QB...Payton is just the first name that comes to many's mind due to his name recognition and connection to the Cowboys. Nobody outside of the Cowboys and Giants knew who Payton was before the Saints signed him.

Also Romo could struggle in a new system for the same reason a QB like Big Ben or Eli Manning struggled early on in a new system. It happens to the best of them.

like ive said before. playing conservative n safe is not working at all! but these dudes are way to stubborn for some reason.

I wouldn't say the Cowboys have a 'great' defense. They have a good defense that isn't as good as it could be because it has one of the worst secondaries in the NFL.

Are you assuming Sean would want to retain Marinelli? Most coaches like picking their own guys?

Anyone notice how many times Garrett punted inside Bills territory yesterday?

Also, JJ Wilcox was a 3rd round pick. Wow that is awful.

Just sad
