I know many wanted a new HC, but regardless, I think we are much better off now than we were end of December last year.
Let's look at what has happened:
1. B Read gone.
This is addition by subtraction. How many games did STs let us down? (Cards, Pitts at the very least) Wade even had to get involved to try and help Read out. We all knew our STs was poor, esp beginning of the season. And I think the consensus is that Read's replacement should be monumentally better as proven by his stints at Jacksonville and Atlanta.
2. Stewart gone.
Again, addition by subtraction. It was clear that Stewart was in over his head. After Wade had to basically take over the Defense the last half of last season, we all saw how much the Defense improved.
If we can replace Stewart with someone who can at least be an asset to Wade, we're definitely further head than we were last season.
3. PacMan and probably Tank gone.
This has a lot to do that neither player was an impact player or even a solid role player for the Cowboys last season. When you throw in all the potential distractions, esp with PacMan, we're moving in the right direction with team chemistry too.
I realize many people want a complete overhaul, a fresh start, etc. But the moves we're making so far make sense and should make us a better team next season. And we're only a few weeks into our off-season.
I think each of the three moves I mentioned above are steps in the right direction. As long as we continue making sound decisions and trying to change what went wrong with the team last season, we should be a more competitive team next season.
