I personally dont like change for change sake. Now that Reid has wona couple of titles since he has his wonderboy, everyone declares him a master... yet he was ran out of philly.

So here is a list of the drought for each team:



17 teams have gone longer than the Cowboys without a title and 25 of the 32 teams have gone 10 years or more without a title. So it begs the question. How long does a coach get to win a title before he should be booted? A coach that has a team in the playoffs consistently doesnt forget how to coach. How many years has the great Sean Peyton been coaching? yet he only has one title.

So how many years should Mike get before he is fired? or any coach for that matter?

i think it depends on how the team is trending and making progress (unintended Garrett ref). I think you weight that with are there any coaches out there in college or as coordinators that you are available that would be an upgrade or you would have interest in. I don't think you make a change if there isn't a prospect you like better to replace the current coach or if you can't get the ones you like (L.Riley for example). that's change for the sake of change.

As long as he wants as long as Dallas keeps making the playoffs. It isn’t his fault that a lombardi hasn’t been hoisted……

So we're three days out from the start of a new season and the question is how long should we give the head coach should he fail? A few days ago there was a thread about Dak sustaining a season ending knee injury. Whatever happened to wishing the team, coaches and players the very best in this upcoming season. Optimism or gloom doesn't change what will happen, I just don't see how a negative approach to the season helps any fan enjoy the ride.

Just my opinion, now back to your regularly scheduled gloom and doom. :rolleyes:

Go Cowboys :flagwave:

if Mike makes the CCG he stays until jerry passes . If MM does not get to the CCG by next season , i think jerry will make a move to avoid any embarassing questions , get in the news with a new HC hire and keep the business and money rolling.

The question is this: If we need to rebuild this team, do you want him at the helm coaching the new players?

My answer is "no". I don't see him as a game-day difference maker or an off-the-field culture creator. That's basically the only things a Jerry installed coach can control...and Mike's not horrible, but I think we can do better.

So, if I had my druthers, he'd already be gone. But if I'm being fair, if the team's healthy, it's the NFC Championship game appearance or bust.

I’m hoping he can at least get until Sunday. With this crowd that’s probably too much to ask.

I wouldn't even bring it up now. I have a good feeling about Mike right now.

Andy Reid was run out of Philly because Donovan McNabb began to decline, and Michael Vick wasn’t the answer. He’s on top of the world in KC now because of Patrick Mahomes. Belichick hasn’t won anything since Brady left New England, and probably never will again. A QB makes or breaks a head coach. If the Cowboys take a step back this season, that’s probably going to be the end of McCarthy with the Cowboys and could spell the beginning of the end for Dak.

The list contains the year franchises joined the NFL or the interval between a pre-Super Bowl era championship and a Super Bowl and/or present. I am not sure the longest championship droughts have been calculated for every franchise.

For example, Pittsburgh joined the NFL in 1933. The Steelers beat the Vikings in January 1975 for Super Bowl IX. Their 42-year drought (or 41 years if going by the 1974 season) is three times longer than what is listed in the table.

If this season doesn’t go well, a lot of it is going to fall on McCarthy now that he’s calling the plays. After making progress the last three seasons, this is pretty much a do or die season for him, unless we suffer a rash of key injuries and Jerry uses that as an excuse for a disappointing season.

Like I said before, if this team doesn't make it to the NFCCG at minimum, he will just serve his contract which is up after next season. Jerry will just not renew it, just like he did with the Red headed wonder. With DQ in the wings, he will pull the trigger.

This is dumb... How many winning seasons do we have with MM versus JG?
22-23 12 and 5
21-22 12 and 5

He's a winning coach with a superbowl win in his resume.

Looks like it’s based on current years from last SB Win (or championship for old school teams).

The one though that really kills me is the list with the current drought since last Conference Championship Game.

Yeah, SB is the goal always, but at least get a final four sniff, something to tell me there is hope to win it all again!

We’re almost on the very bottom of that list of current years since last Conference Championship Game. Unbelievable considering this team had 2 great dynasties in NFL history.
