That nudges him into the top ten or so with guys like McCarthy. He was not exactly cheap before, the 11th highest paid coach in the NFL.

 

[Tony D]

He did as good a job as anyone could expect with the group he had. What more can you ask? Of course he needs more talent. I've never bought into him being a miracle worker but he's a pretty good DC.

After last season and the additions and subtractions to the defense getting this defense to middle of the pack and causing quite a bit of turnovers was just about a miracle.

This is a huge deal.

And the old booze is back.

Who said 5 years @ $55 million?

Continuity is important. Laugh if you want. It is.

I could believe either.

Keeps making the playoffs. Better than a bunch of other teams. If they fired him any of those years they may not make the playoffs.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Schwing!

 

[Texas Ace]

That's fine. I see our window at about 3 years anyway.

I think it's 2 at best, which is why I'm in favor of going after AP even if it's a 5 or 6 mill a year deal.

The time to go after this thing is now, while Romo can still play.

 

[Texas Ace]

Excellent.

Get it done, then let's start working on putting a plan together for defensive FA's and draft picks.

For the first time in the history of this board, continuity isn't a joke or an attempt at sarcasm, it's a necessity for this particular team.

It was important that we kept as many of the key pieces of staff in place and it looks like we're doing just that.

This staff probably has the best chemistry since the early Parcells years. In some ways it feels like it was assembled kind of randomly but after shuffling some pieces around, it has seemed to work out.

I also agree that we're looking at a two year window. I think it will come down to how long Romo can hang in there and if the rest of the team can stay healthy.

Yea, this may not be a dream team of coaches, but as you said, it's working out pretty well for whatever reason. And after all the crap we've had to endure in recent years, I'm not about to break this apart when we finally appear to have put together a staff that's capable of quality coaching and making in-game adjustments......the latter which had been lacking for a long time.

Keep it together, bring in some talent, and go for broke before Romo's health gives out.

Yes, fuck yes, and hell the fuck yes.

I wasn't terrified at the prospect of losing Marinelli but it's nice to have him back. Give me a couple of value signings and a few early round selections in the front 7 and we could have something nasty next year. I also basically trust whatever we do from a personnel perspective on that side of the ball as long as it has Marinelli's blessing, especially on the DL.
