Saban and Jimmy Johnson are similar in that both enjoyed their greatest successes building exceptionally talented teams and then allowing that talent to exert its physical advantages over less physically talented teams. Garrett doesn't have a physically superior / dominant team in Dallas, and...

I used to think that Garrett's job was safe until Romo retired, but if Jerry could keep Linehan (to retain continuity), maybe Garrett isn't safe. Jerry isn't oblivious to Garrett's shortcomings as a game manager. Garrett's inability to deal with / adjust to Romo's absence is obvious. It isn't...

I'm living the dream. Didn't watch, but glad to hear the game was lost. Mildly hopeful about the excellent draft positon.

I like the idea of taking a QB and RB early. Not bad, dbair.

There's some truth in that. Garrett probably could win with a handful of aces. But he isn't the guy who can manufacture wins. Garrett's biggest mistake may have been using Jimmy Johnson as his model. Jimmy built great teams and then rode them to championships. A more resourceful game day...

I assume the Eagles wouldn't have signed Murray knowing what they know now. But the Eagles were half-right; signing Murray away from Dallas did hurt Dallas in a major way. I don't which front office performed worse ... the Eagles or the Cowboys. The Eagles may have made more bad moves, but...

Can't. Too busy counting my vCash.

My team had a great day yesterday, but it happened in a "Playoff Bowl" game. This league has been fun, though. Very competitive.

I watched Jerry's post-game interview on dallascowboys.com. It was telling. To me, it is clear that Jerry thinks the final minutes of the game were mismanaged. Jerry didn't call out Garrett publicly, of course. But it seems obvious that Jerry believes that the outcome of the game was...

Quite true. Garrett engaged in fundamental mismanagement of the game during the final few minutes. It was so obvious that even Jerry noticed it. In his remarks after the game, it was clear that Jerry questioned the Garrett's approach to closing out the game.

Assuming the Cowboys don't use an early pick on a QB, I kinda like Alabama's Coker as a late round pick. He'd be a project and certainly isn't a sure thing, but he looks to have some potential.

With 4 points, I might pick the Cowboys. But straight up, in this thread, gotta go skins.

A green balloon for like. A "dbair" for dislike. It could be a "dbair doubloon" -- A coin with dbair's name on it. Dbair is a dedicated poster who contributes despite frequent criticism. Why not honor him with a dislike button named in his dishonor?

You never know, but I think he'd do o.k. behind the Dallas OL. Could be a good fit. 1st round would seem early, though.

For what it is worth, this year Arkansas attempted 32 passes and 25 rushes against Alabama. A big part of things is that Alabama is just really, really good. It isn't unusual for top 20 teams to have several outstanding players on each side of the ball. The thing with Alabama isn't that...

No argument about Georgia's recruiting base. Truly top notch. No doubt about it.

I've heard Tom Herman mentioned. Kirby Smart, Alabama defensive coordinator, is seen as the favorite to replace Richt. Smart played DB at Georgia; coached a bit there too. The main downside with Smart is that Georgia may rather hire an offensive-minded coach. If so, Dan Mullen...

What a great job opportunity for an outstanding coach. It is possible to recruit the best to Athens.

That seems like a long time. I wonder how many other teams have had a similar lack of success.

Turn out the lights. The party's over.
