FRISCO, Texas – Let's see, seems to be open season on the Cowboys. The piling on has become the newest national rage.
Whatever they do and however they do it, well, it's wrong, and well before any results are established. No factual reasons, just that's it's the Cowboys and Jerry Jones.
Latest example being the hiring of Brian Schottenheimer as the 10th head coach in the franchise's now starting 66-season history. The criticism is nearly universal. Print media. Electronic media. Radio entertainers. Social opinionators wishing they were considered media.
And the disgruntled fans.

The past continues to haunt the Cowboys, their failures since winning three Super Bowls in four years from 1992-95 but not a one since. We know the facts facing a franchise that had won five Super Bowls in the first 30-year history of the Super Bowl, though having advanced to the "ultimate game" three other times and two more to the NFL Championship in the first two years of the Super Bowl era.

“No factual reasons”.

Umm…30 years of history.
“Schottie”’s stats and many years in the league.
Dak progressively getting old, injured, or worse.
Jerry Jones’ ego and GMing
etc.
...over the past 11 seasons, meaning 2014-24, they have posted seven winning years, three losing ones (all connected to losing their starting quarterback) and one at 8-8.

Their overall regular season record is 105-75, a .583 winning percentage that includes five NFC East titles and three seconds, and two wins short of tying the Eagles for the seventh most in the NFL during that span. Of course, the Chiefs are tops with 132, that's 20 more than the 112 of the Steelers and Packers, tied for second most. McCarthy was responsible for 43 of those Packers wins, and 49 of the Cowboys' 11-year total, Jason Garrett the other 56.

How’s that post season record?

Spags made a particular assertion that said there are “no factual reasons” which I addressed.

There are plenty.

You are talking effectiveness which aren't in fact your implied disasters.

Point is, this does not even recognize the change being established here and now. You just cry?
No. You are talking strawmen, and inventing arguments I never made.

Media and Cowboys fans aren't taking "Shots" at Schottenheimer......they are taking shot at a FO that hired a HC not based on Merit. He has no resume that even comes close to a Ben Johnson that boasts a top offense under his tutelage

Schottenheimer may very well turn out to be an Excellent HC but there is ZERO Evidence to support that.

It was a puppet hiring pure and simple and anybody that doesn't see that needs to see a psychiatrist

His last post shows as Oct 8. Are we sure he's alive?
I know you are kidding with no malice intended but I wish the board had some mechanism to check the well-being of posters who posting stop posting after a certain gap. Good or bad, friends or adversaries many have known each other for years and in some cases more than people in real life. I guess Mod having an emergency email contact to make sure posters are OK, health-wise. Just a thought......

There was no malice intended....but it was not a joke. We've had a few people just gone without a word and it's a genuine concern. :) I don't like the guy, but he's a fellow Cowboys fan, hence a brother.
