Gotta say, my stomach went into a knot when I heard he was getting Gibbs, because Gibbs constantly beat the Cowboys until Jimmy came.

Long term, though, I think you have problems with Arrington and Taylor, not to mention the absence of a QB.

Hehehe. He's universally hated in Dallas, too :)

Yep. He's not unlike our own Jerry Jones, is he?

I think Martz is highly overrated. Anyone who thinks he was the mastermind behind the Rams Superbowl got conned. Martz is a stubborn fool who learned from Vermeil, not the other way around. Martz somehow believed that he did not have to run the ball when he took over and therefore exposed his whole offense, especially the QBs, which he wears out in record time.

Or, in the short run the Skins are a little up on the Boys. In the longer run, the Boys look a little better.

Personally, I think the Cowboys are about two pro-bowl guards and a FS away from a Super Bowl with what they have.

"What kind of coach can NO expect to get now...?"

[Radix]

Too bad.

Hey I'll bet you won't see Bill Belichick naming anymore "coordinators" after his staff was decimated last year. That guy doesn't make the same mistake twice and it will be a long time before he ever gets fired from his job.

Jones has been booed quite often at Texas Stadium as well.

[Revolting cat!]

It's scandalous, I tell ya. Half the NFL teams had a losing season! Somebody do something about it quick!

Well the way the Saints play it could be an improvement.

"Well the way the Saints play it could be an improvement."

At least the excuses would be more original than Haslett's.

I'm more of a blame the players and coaches guy.

Me, too. Speaking of the Cowboys, what's your over/under on whether or not Parcells stays?

[wallcrawlr]

How much does he pay you?

;)

Mike Shanahan is still working too.

To another poster: being a Vikings fan, I can say that Mike Tice deserved to be let go. He's in over his head as a head coach in the NFL. Too much of a buddy to the players and not enough of a coach.

In addition to that, some of the comments he made regarding who would play or sit on the bench on a given Sunday were made as though he had no hand in the decision making process. His inexplicable, unwavering allegiance to the often inept Daunte Culpepper, coupled with annual multi-game meltdowns and losing every must-win game he ever coached, helped to seal his fate.

Fair enough.... we'll see how he fares when he gets another gig.
