True but so far so good. By the way where did I anoint him? I said he gets dumped on a lot but doesn’t deserve that. You can live by hyperbole though.
Never said you did. I said "I" will hold on to the anointing oils. Good post. Not busting your chops. Was just my perspective.

No hyperbole in being doubtful of a franchise that has had 26 years of mediocrity, but still stands at the top of the food chain in sales. I'm just jaded man.

There is zero chance Garrett would have this team at 3-1. 2015 gave you a good look at what Garrett was capable of when his starter got hurt. A bad 4-12 year. The offense was terrible. Big Mike gets ripped on a lot here but really he has done an excellent job this season. All 3 phases are working. Offensive game plan has been smart. Good clock management. Team is playing physical and smart. Really it’s been a very solid effort by the coaching staff. Those of you that want him gone so they can hire Payton need to compare the historical records. Payton would not be an upgrade. Big Mike has done a good job here.

Has he converted any of you? If not why?
I agree with you. Big Mike has done a good job as HC and is an upgrade from JG. I can't believe this is even a question, but this is the fanbase we have. They don't appreciate the good fortune that comes our way and can't discern good coaching from bad.

I slammed MM when he deserved it and I couldn't wait for Sean Payton to walk through the door after the 49 playoff game.

Now, I'm giving all that a pause.
One must not forget, how we started last year and how it all ended.

Nothing's being written yet, what matters is play off success. I never liked MM and won't even if he wins us a Superbowl. But if all we have is go by wins, then he's doing a good job right now. If they can pull off wins against LA and the Birds then a very good job. Give credit where it's due and criticize when it's appropriate. Nothing more, nothing less.

Great post.

I've never really stopped supporting him. I'm a big Sean Payton fan, but I still think McCarthy is just fine as the Cowboys coach.

He's subtle, but that doesn't mean he's not doing his job.

Same for Kellen Moore. I've been a fan of Kellen's since way back. Still am.

MM is a blue collar guy which is exactly what this team needs.

Exactly.

And his humble approach . . . with the new age of players and their mentalities and quirks . . . is working.

He lost Dak and tomlin lost Ben. Steelers are about to be 1-4 and are awful. Dallas is 3-1.

That speaks volumes.

I will come around when we win a playoff game, or at least represent well. And starting to beat the better teams coming up on our schedule might sway me as well.
I will say that he appears to be a no-nonsense guy which is refreshing from the previous coaches we’ve had.
