We should have hired Reid. I couldn't believe the Eagles fired him. He was so much better than what we had.

Hard to believe Landry only won 20 playoff games.
At the time Reid left Philly, many fans here felt about him pretty close to how they feel about Big Mike now.

Bad news is the longer we go without more success the more teams and coaches are going to pass us by.

Remarkable stat that Brady alone has as many playoff appearances as the Cowboys do as a team over 60+ years .

Cowboys still rank up there but more will catch us or pass us by despite the enormous success we had with Landry.
Good news is that the current team is very good and has a shot this year and next year.

Cowboys have always been next years champions. Landry won five conference championship games but he lost 10 including 2 nfl championship.

Actually he lost 8:
66,67,72,73,76,80,81&82

Cowboys under Landry played in 13 championship games from 1966-1982 including the 2 NFL championship games in 66 and 67. Tom won 5 losing 8.

A good trivia question is what NFL HC has lost the most championship games.

49ers have most championships losses with 11 out of 18 appearances.

This is since the 1970 merger.

Great another 'we should have hired/drafted/signed/traded for' post. :rolleyes: The Cowboys are the only team this exists for.

Andy Walter Reid___
•The only head coach in NFL history to win 100+ plus games with two different teams - and one in each conference.
• The only head coach in NFL history to lead two different teams to four consecutive conference championship game appearances- one in each conference.
His HOF bust should already be cast.

I may get blasted for this.

But...I think Reid is a better all time coach than Belichick.

Reid turned McNabb into a top five QB. He made the postseason with post encarcinarated Vick. Playoffs four times with Alex Smith. Yeah, he has Mahomes now. But I believe Mahomes benefits as much from him as Reid does from Mahomes. I do not think Mahomes would be a HOF lock at season five already if he ended up on a junk team like Chi. Jmo.

Belichick won a postseason game without Tom Brady...nearly 30 years ago. Otherwise, he has a poor record without Brady.

And had prime Romo had Reid, Cowboys definitely win in 14 and 16. And get to a SB in 07.
