Although we have new couching staff that seems like a good thing. All the Cowboy free agents and the price tag for Dak, Copper, etc seems to be a bad thing for any run at the playoffs this year. Who has a crystal ball that can tell us fans how we are going to be better than 8-8?
I think this team has been under coached for more than a decade. Having a competent coaching staff is going to make a major difference. So there's that. The issue in Dallas is culture and a terrible front office. These clowns truly believe they are on the cutting edge and among the smartest in the league. They have a ton of contract decisions to make. The recent drafts have been terrible and has really hurt the defense with early wiffs on Charlton, Hill, and Williams. FA has yielded next to nothing. The defense needs to re tool the DL - tough to do in 1 year. The secondary also needs a re tool - also tough to do in one year. LB is a mystery with 2 lead guys that can't be counted on. The drafting has really hurt them at all 3 levels. I think they need to grab a DT, S, and CB early. Build quality depth at LB. They might need to hit on more than 1 DT. Gregory coming back can also REALLY help. TE needs a new starter. Thankfully they are set at OL. I think McGovern is going to be a steal.
The biggest issue of all...QB. Again the stupidity of the FO has left a giant question mark at the most important position.
In sum - Dallas needs a lot on D and needs to address the QB issue. They do this well and I think this team contends next season. If Jerry and Co continue to be the idiots they have been for 25 years this thing could devolve into another 3 year rebuild.
I am 60/40 it is going to be ok.
