    That is 10 wins a year.

    His tenure was highlighted by three consecutive 12-win seasons from 2021 to 2023, making him the first coach in Cowboys history to achieve that feat

    He did this with Dak Prescott as his QB, which I find impressive as he is not a franchise QB.

    You don't have a clue what's about to happen with McCarthy as coach.

    What if medicine is exactly what the team needs?

    What if it's a sweet dessert?

    Why don't we just see what happens before we announce that McCarthy will be a disaster.

    Heck yes I got my wish. Tomlin himself is the only reason he is gone. Eight years in a row with no playoff wins. Try that hat on for size.

    Yeah I’ll take that delicious tasting medicine all day. Not sure what we are supposed to be regretting.

    Moving on from a guy that he and the team were clearly in a rut and going no where or trying something different even if it is another retread at HC. Yeah I’ll try the later.

    Well even worst case, if the 2026 season is a catastrophe, the next draft should be a strong one to get your QB of the future.

    I have never liked McCarthy. Reminds me of a toad with his fat head and weird eyes. But he is a good offensive mind in this league.

    The worry is Graham. His defenses in Vegas were consistently in the mid 20s in scoring against. Four years is enough time to where his defense should have shown some growth in league rankings. And I suspect his hiring shows that McCarthy is still more an OC than a head coach, even now after years of serving as a head coach.

    Graham is my concern too. He isn't good. And the Steelers don't have a single player on the defense who is in his prime and an elite player.

    Dak Prescott is not awesome, but he's 5 times better than any Qb we've had since Ben retired.

    Dak Prescott is definitely a franchise QB. Statistically, he's ranked the 5th best QB in the NFL. If that's not a franchise QB, I don't know what in the hell is.
