Hoffman done well in the beggining but acting like we fired him while he was on top of his game is false. Hoffman was here from 1989-2004


Here is our kickers (not including what he inherited in 1989)

1990 Ken Willis 18-25 72.0%

1991 Ken Willis 27-39 69.2 %

1992 Lin Elliot 24-35 68.6% (Superbowl year)

1993 Signed 13 year vet Eddie Murray 28-33 84.8%

1994 Chris Boniol 22-29 75.9%

1995 Chris Boniol 27-28 96.4%

1996 Chris Boniol 32-36 88.9%

1997 Richie Cunningham 34-37 91.9%

1998 Richie Cunningham 29-35 82.9 %

1999 Cunningham (12 games) 15-25 60.0% Then we brought back Murray

2000 Tim Seder 25-33 75.8%

2001 Tim Seder (8 Games) 11-17 64.7%
John Hilbert (8 Games) 11-16 68.8%

2002 Billy Cundiff 12-19 63.2%

2003 Billy Cundiff 23-29 79.3%

2004 Billy Cundiff 20-26 76.9%



So there you have it, in 14 years of being our kicking coach we had 5 seasons of good kicking and one of those was us signing a 13 year vet when Hoffmans prospect failed


Hoffman's kickers career FG%? 365-471 thats about 77%

Considering who he had to work with and some of the kicks the losers made in critical situations, Steve Hoffman is a god. We have a curse because he was fired. It's obvious to me it wont get corrected until we re-hire him. Bad Bad Karma we got firing that guy. I bet parcells regrets it as superstitious as he is.... :bang2:

Basically Boniol was awesome, Cunningham was the Cowboy offense for about two years in a very dark time, Sedar had one decent year, Cundiff was a solid rookie and that was it. Every other year with the exception of Boniol's greatness Dallas was in the market for something better. That is what you get when you are a cheapskate toward paying kickers. The irony is this time jerry wasn't and it seems to have reinforced his bias against paying kickers big money.

This post was completely worthless as it will fall on deaf ears.

His legend will continue, simply because we have had poor luck with kickers since he was let go.

It is much more juicy to blame Coach Parcells for letting him go than facing the reality that he didn't produce good kickers with any sort of regularity.

Whatever, just remember what i said when we lose another big game because of our kicker. Some people just cant face reality i guess. Hoffman was really good. He's doing okay with a 45 year old down in Atlanta too. Sucks to be us..

They only brought in the 45 year old because Hoffmans project SUCKED. If you dont know what your talking about, just give up now.

Now he's being credited with Morten Anderson.

I just had some water that Steve Hoffman turned into wine.

Hoffman has NOTHING to do with Andersons success, you realize he has been in the league kicking well since like 1921 right?


As for Hoffman being "really good" how do you look at that list of nothing kickers and say he was "really good" save 4 years in the mid ninety's he was below average

That's true enough. He couldn't work his magic on whatshisnuts that he wanted punting, kicking off and place-kicking.

Anderson is saving his backside in Atlanta. I suppose Eddie Murray was not available?

Those 500 field goals Anderson kicked before Hoffman mean NOTHING!
