I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I'm not all that impressed with Bill's tenure. I love last year's draft and - for the most part - FA signings, but I'm not sure for $5M+ over the past 3 years, 1 playoff appearence - loss - and the worst collapse in team history equates to a job well done.
Are the Cowboys better off player-wise? Certainly on D, but the key components on offense are either old or missing and the lack of depth on the OL is squarely on Bill. Player/coaching blunders throughout the season also contributed to the demise of this team and the completly heartless displays vs. Washington and St. Louis were pathetic.
Some give the Cowboys a pass for the St. Louis game - but it was Bill himself who said no game was meaningless yet couldn't coax a decent perfomance out of this squad. I also wonder why no one who has the opportunity to question Bill gives him a pass on every controversy and gives him all the praise for every victory.
Is Bill the best coach this team has had since Jimmy? Probably, but as far as return on investment, I'm not sure Bill has held up his end of the bargain. Will he change things around on offense this off-season like he did on D last season? I hope so and if he does he'll receive his due credit, but I think at this point I'm more pleased with Bill the GM than I am with Bill the coach.
I know many will disagree - but if so, please refrain from the ever-popular "I guess you want Gailey/Campo/Switzer back?" I'm not intimate with these issues, but I have a hunch there are more coaching options than Gailey/Campo/Switzer.
Bill has obviously done some things to improve this team, but overall, IMO, his tenure here cannot be considered an overwhelming success.
