In Dallas he will be EXPECTED to do great. If anything happens, he'll be blasted more so than he would deserve. Sure he's a homey there, and he will be the next head coach there, but what if Wade isn't let go for a few years?

Either way, the expectations are high in the NFL. All in all, he's better off with the situation in Dallas. In another year or so, you're talking about rebuilding the Ravens program.

I guess that is just where I would prefer to be. I'd rather rebuild with my players, than to use the players given to me by someone else.
He's got a long way to fall right now with Dallas, but he has almost no where to go but up in Baltimore, and Baltimore has some talent still lingering (unlike Atlanta). I guess that's my thought. Plus, I have a head coach mentality, and now he's stuck in the OC position for at least 2 more years if not longer.
Also, if the Cowboys lose next year, it will likely be because the offense took a nose dive, so why would they promote the reason they got worse? He HAS to maintain his current level on offense, and quite frankly, I don't think it's possible. Look at how poorly the offense ran at the end of the season. He was getting figured out.

I think one thing we can almost bank on is that the Cowboys won't go 13-3 next year.

Why not? They've got money to upgrade positions such as WR, OL and RB, 2 first round picks in the draft. Rumor has it that they are interested in Michael Turner RB San Diego, they could go after Roy Williams, draft some OL and be better next year. Garrett is a pretty good OC. I wouldn't be surprised if they go 13-3 next year.

I could see the Cowboys going 10-6 next year.

Wow! That's impressive. Don't know who is coming and who is going in free agency, don't know who is going to get drafted, don't know who is going to replace a couple of scouts and a coach.

And already a 10-6 prediction. Like I said....impressive.

My prediction had nothing to do with the Dallas' personnel next year. Actually they could upgrade at some positions and I'd feel the same way.

It's just very difficult to put together back to back seasons of 13 wins. Not to mention, the NFC EAST will be the toughest division in football next year.

I absolutely agree. I would be surprised to see them get 10 wins. 8 or 9 I think.
