Spagnola: Back off taking this shot with Schotty

[Bullflop]

Sincere respect for those with diverse backgrounds and situations should always give devoted attention to this forum's fellow members. Those who prefer to cast dark shadows on those whose opinions differ from their own should think twice before being unfriendly. Guarding everyone's personal reputation should always come first, as a matter of policy.

We should always pay heed to the fact that it's self-defeating to inflict harm. Participating in commenting on this forum should always be a considerate experience. Those who choose to be disrespectful to other posters always do the most harm to themselves, as an end result. Let's be wise enough to be good to ourselves in our dealings with others.

I get the sentiment here but do you realize the magnitude of check-ins there would be with posters coming and going, not to mention lurkers? Or is it just about checking on those who post a lot and suddenly don't? Some check out during the off-season and wind up not returning. Others I'm sure just want to be left alone. You're talking about other posters reaching out and not Mods, right?

...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.

(from the article you instead state an agenda of a personal stereotype)

Cherry picking stats to 'win" on the internet...

Now show us the REAL goal results.

Yes...winning in the regular season is part of the goal. PART. Lying by omitting the FULL story is unbecoming.

No...it doesn't always have to be a Super Bowl.

IF we are just gonna get embarrassingly bounced out of the playoff on the first game, at home, against inferior team...I'd rather just not get in. You live with THAT game the rest of the off-season not your regular season.

One theme was how the hiring of Schottenheimer represents both risk and necessary change for the sake of improvement. The risk in taking a lifelong assistant coach who did not interview for any other head coaching openings this cycle and promoting him after three seasons with the Cowboys. The changes that would come with it both in Schottenheimer’s leadership abilities and coaching style, as well as more tangibly on the field.

He's good....taking a break from all the old BS....hopefully, this new BS will bring him back.
He and Pappy are probably hanging on the beach and laughing at us! Lol

A week or so ago one of my posts got a like from Rockport. So still around.

I'd rather have rocky be sincere about it. I'm good with different opinions and outlooks.

But...if insulting good fans and fellow board members is done just for kicks...well what a sad pathetic human that would be.

Or posters who feel comfortable with each other could exchange phone numbers or email addresses privately. I've done so with a couple of people here.

You are talking effectiveness which isn't in fact your implied failure en toto.

Point is, this does not even recognize the change being established here and now. You just cry?

Wow...what a condescending deflection this is!

Who talks like this? On a sports message board to boot.

 

[CCBoy]

Write comprehensible English.

Learn English...ever taken a course in topical presentation...?



Schottenheimer did not get an extraordinary amount of time to discuss any scheme or philosophy changes he plans on implementing, but when he did it took no time at all to start with emphasizing the run game - surely music to the Jones’ ears after already interviewing Schottenheimer twice - as well as more play-action and the types of throws Dak Prescott thrived on much earlier in his career.

Try using some American National Language and not always an insultive word -you- whether implied or used directly. Here and now, that is insultive...shut the degrading up.

Now use ENGLISH and discuss about the added quote above.

Ah, so to get Rocky to chime in, you have to post only the most homerific thoughts!

Just playin', jazz!

No, just need to not hate on anything and everything.

Mickey is correct.

You just did, what is your problem, stereotypes?

You are talking about supportive attitude reinforcement....since you are supportive and condescending also, ever try to use English to discuss current status of the team and not just your own self validating attitude? Try talking an actual discussion on topics of football beyond your own value to insult and directed to a discussion about actually developing football in Dallas.

That is bias and directed personally.

Understand English and know how to recognize one's own lack of ethics?

I don't see weakness in the current status of direction of the current Dallas Cowboys. It doesn't require hatred of Jerry Jones to be valid.

YOU talk football, and if English isn't your chosen language, handle it. That has not been done in what is posted by you.

 

[Bullflop]

So out of all human endeavors, every single one without fail...you expect THIS place to be the sole purveyor of decency and respect?

I can only control how I act in my dealings with others. I also tend to expect consideration for how I treat others as a result of my actions. Those who don't follow the ways of being considerate only defeat themselves. It's always best to put your best foot forward in social situations. It pays off, more often than not, even here, at this frequently volatile website. More often than not, kindness is its own reward. Friends are far better than enemies.

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.

The more things change…. Spags in for another one of his devil’s advocate defenses.

Going to be a sad day in the Star when Spags is gone and no one left at DC.Com to give us the ‘let’s consider this…’ defense.

Few weeks back was watching an ESPN piece on teams hiring new coaches. They lumped all teams together for the next head coaching hires since they were all looking at the same talent but kept the Cowboys piece coaching pool separate since as they explained it, Jerry does it his way. Everyone from Coach Prime to Schottenheimer, they had interviews no one else in the league was trying.

If it was year 8 of 30 in the Jones Years I might buy it, but just more business as usual.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

No, that part of the statement is yours...

I guess it depends on what your expectations and goals are. If winning games against weaker teams and a couple strong ones...is your only goal in the season...then by all means we are doing it right.

If performing strong in the playoffs for a couple games...attending a conference championship and yes...attending a super bowl every now and then...is your GOAL...then it's not just "my statement"...it is a fact that we aren't doing it right.

I believe our season goal should be set VERY high...and one game at a time.

My vote will ALWAYS be for excellence and performance...especially in tough games. That doesn't mean you always win every game. It does mean you played with pride, dignity, and adeptness.

I don't think we have been doing that at the highest level. I don't believe it makes me not a fan. So...I believe you can take your lecturing high horse right on out.

Ok let’s see….Mickey Spags is on the Jones payroll. I’m sure he’s heard the radio interview where Jerry threatened to fire radio hosts for having the audacity to ask the owner and GM a semi-tough question in the midst of the worst home loss in decades. And those radio guys aren’t even on the Jones payroll. So the odds of getting an opinion from Mickey that is the unvarnished truth is about as likely as snow in downtown Dallas on July 4th.

I lost all journalistic respect for Spags when he was on the former flagship radio station “The Ticket” back about 20 years ago. He was incredibly rude and argumentative to anyone on the air who did not worship at the Jones throne. He’s famous in the DFW area as a first class jerk to the real journalists that cover the team.

Occasionally, certainly rarely, Mick writes a decent story. But emphasis on rarely. I wish I could post here the audio of him arguing with Dallas radio hosts Craig Miller and George Dunham from The Ticket about 15-20 years ago, who were simply asking if it was time for Jerry to consider a different approach. Spags could have politely declined and said, “That’s my employer.” But he goes full on attack.

So sorry for my lack of enthusiasm for Mickey Spagnola’s opinions. He gives the infamous “Baghdad Bob” a run for his money on just saying what the boss wants said, regardless of veracity.

They pulled Mickey out of the nursing home to help spin this.
