Yeah, lost that playoff game, and is 0-4 in the playoffs. But there are tons more that are 0-0 because they never been there. I am sure there are former Skins coaches who have 4 playoff losses on their resume as well. But that does not make them chumps.
Marty Schottenhiemer is a great coach, but has his share of playoff woes, does that make him a chump?
I just remind myself of the 2004 Steelers, 15-1 regular season, lost at home just like Dallas, one and done in the playoffs. The following year they won the Super Bowl. Then there is the 2005 Colts, 14-2 regular season, one and done in the playoffs. Following year...won the Super Bowl. Lest we forget the 2006 Chargers....14-2 regular season....one and done in the playoffs. Following year....played in the AFC Championship. It is that type of reasoning that keeps my hopes up. That and Dallas is the 4th youngest team in the NFL, so the core group of players they have will be in a Cowboys uniform for a long time.
Now is Wade the second coming of Parcells, or Bellichick? No, but he is not a chump.

I know that you're a Dallas fan and I would be the same way if Redskins were on the line.
But please don't give Wade too much credit for 13-3. He was given a pretty sweet gig and stepped into that job nicely. What moves did he make personel wise that Bill didn't do? He just sat on the sidelines with that dumb blank look on his face most of the year.
I'm not sure but what was the conversation between Garret and Jones about to get him to stay? Wade is a lame duck and if Dallas starts out badly he'll be fired mid-stream. Wade just really does not invoke any thougths, he's blank man!!
