You want to know the truth?
If you look at Jimmy Johnson's approach. He played mind games with teams. He made them mad, by putting them in situations that they lost. And the team came back and won the Super Bowl later that season.
If you know football, you know that can happen. Someone is going to go into the media and make money by being serious, and honest about their criticism, like Parsons was in his podcast, which is what made is so good. Because the click bait topics sell. Truth is, many don't convert all that well, although some do. But media companies are usually focused on that metric. And then it's a gamble for the advertiser.
A guy like Parsons changes that dynamic. I see that because I''ve done similar work, different topic. But he has the personality you need to convert on your advertising, which is what makes Parsons so great, if he chooses to go into media later on. He's good at it.
Anyway, I think that also motivated the team. And that's what the team needed.
Dallas is getting its swagger back after their bye.
Don't let anyone tell you this team isn't good enough to win it. A few teams are. But they are one of them.
Mike may have taken the Jimmy approach and knew he had to in order to get them to win down the stretch. Many think about right now. When other teams are thinking three months ahead. Those teams usually have better odds to win if things go right. Or the team who can look ahead and stay on top of the goal week to week.
