I'm not sure Jerry has to die. I really think if this team failed spectacularly again, he might actually give up on the Great Ginger Experiment. The one thing he loves more than family portrait boy is his money, and if he saw ratings dropping and his palace less full, he might do something.

Problem is, it would have to be fail on a pretty big scale. If we scrape along and stay in the hunt -- even if only because of this terrible division and not because we're actually a good team -- that will be enough to keep fan interest and his own optimism up and nothing will change.

That's pretty much my worst nightmare, but I think there's a real chance of that happening.

That will never happen. Look at teams like the Redskins.

It's not a magical theory. Pay attention to the league.

Colts went 11-5 last year with a new coach, after 2-14 the year before.
Falcons went 11-5 in Mike Smiths first year, after 4-12 the previous season.
9'ers went 13-3 in Harbaughs first year after a 6-10 season

One of the best franchise QB prospects in years probably helped the Colts a tad bit more than a new coach
Falcons went 4-12 with a new coach before hiring a new coach
9ers went from 7-9 to a whopping 8-8 in Singletary's first season.

It's a little more complicated than just hiring a new coach. Parcells built a winner here and changed the culture momentarily.

Coughlin wouldn't last a season with these idiots.

He would have permanent Coughlin face after 2 games.

Yeah, these fucktards would put him in a nursing home afer 6 games. He'd be dead by the end of the season.

You're being obtuse.

I never said "Hey, just hire a new coach and I guarantee a turnaround!"

I'm saying what Parcells did, takinga 5-11 team and getting them to 10-6 his first year, isn't that uncommon in todays NFL.

First year turnarounds happen fairly regularly.

Adrew Luck was the best QB to come out in teh draft since.... Peyton Manning.

Peyton Manning went 3-13 his rookie year.

Just sayin...

Also, Peyton Manning went to Tennessee and stayed for his senior season.

My plan would be to talk about finding the right kind of guys for the system and then not actually hold them accountable for anything. I'll probably talk about how good certain areas of the team are and make sure that guys playing those positions don't rehab correctly and if they need surgery I'll make sure they wait to get it so they'll miss a significant part of the year. I will scour liquor store parking lots for sacks of crap that I can put a third round grade on and sign them after the draft.

On game days I probably won't pay attention and choose not exploit any mismatches that I won't be smart enough to see. I'll also forbid any coaches from making adjustments except I'll tell Romo to audible to more 3 yard outs. I love those things.
