Well whatever it is, we had Parcells who is a no-nonsense strict coach. We have Wade who is a big softy, a lenient coach. There is a constant factor that spans these two and beyond that has made this team extremely inconsistent. It isn't the players, other teams do as much or more with less. We have some good players and some average but so does every team.
With this team not only does it not have an identity, you never know (hell I don't think the coaches even know) what to expect from the players week to week.
When I was young, my folks owned a successful company and we were financially well-off you could say.
In the early 80's, the oil industry slowdown hit us very hard. (We fabricated large oil field equipment) We lost almost everything trying to keep the company afloat, paying employees and creditors.
Now, my folks are retired and doing well but a lesson I learned was that having "something" and losing it hurts much worse than never having it.
This is the hardest part of being a Cowboy fan. (kinda over-dramatic I know lol) If you are a Raider fan, your team sucks. You know your team sucks and next week they will pretty much suck then too. :laugh2:
With the Cowboys, one week you look unbeatable, dominating and explosive. The next week you not only look bad, but an average college team might put it on you. What is that all about?? That's been a problem here for over a decade.
It's not just the QB or the left tackle or the defensive coordinator. It's something much bigger. That inconsistency is the killer to me. Someone with the software should make a graph of the major points of our team like W/L, YPG, etc... Ridiculous.
