Proof that coaching and front office trumps talent

[Owen DeBoard]

Take a look at the Dallas Cowboys. Most talented team on paper and not getting into the playoffs. The biggest loss for them last offseason was not a player but a man named Bill Parcels.

Agree, talent wont do it all, but it helps

I want sweeping changes at ALL levels, not just talent. But if we go our typical newbie HC route, we better get much much better on talent level or we are doomed to more of the same.

Proof that consistant QB play trumps all the above???

I mean seriously Dallas is loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. They have a guy on defense that could have broke the sack record this year and have an explosive offense as any other team in the league.

OK, and?

Take a huge chunk of talent off that squad and you have a 7-9 team at best behind Wade.

Oh yeah how about Pittsburgh Steelers. If Dallas used their running game like they should they would be winning. How hard is it to understand that you cant just ride a qb to a championship. Look at what Indy did a couple of years back. IMO they have the best qb in the league and that year there rushing helped them. Same as win the Steelers won their superbowl. How about the Pats last year they had the best qb in the league right? Did that win them a championship? It helps to have a good qb but it aint everything.

Good point.

OK, and?

Your solution is what?

continue to sign newbie HC's or guys with losing records and then sign second tier FA's?

Oh yeah and cant forget how about Drew Brees. Look at the year he had and not even close to getting in the playoffs.

Would you rather hire a proven loser head coach that the Detroit Lions wouldnt keep as their coach?

I didn't say a great QB wins SB's. Even the Steelers had consistant QB play during their SB run.

The fact of the matter is you can't win without it. Even with a dominate run game the Titans still went with Collins over Young. Why?????

With Collins they knew they would get....

I havent been dodging nothin my stance is that we fire Jauron and bring in any coach that doesnt have a proven losing record. I would take Bobby April. He already knows the systems if we dont need to change them and he knows most of the players and brings alot more emtion to this team. Anyone but Jauron and a proven loser head coach.

Same talent level, and any new coach without a losing record?
