Mike Nolan fires in Dallas
 

He did such a good job w our LBs when he was here. Is bringing him back in some capacity an option?

He might be a sh*tty DC but he’s a damn good LB coach

Re: Mike Nolan fires in Dallas
 

Bring him back as a position coach. Not a coordinator pos’n.

I get what you’re saying..., but Jerry Jones has 3 Super Bowl rings in the last 30 years. That’s three times as many championships in half the amount of time as the way the Saints have managed the team ownership paradigm. Others have been successful with Jerry Jones, I don’t see the logic behind: “ Nolan Good bc... Jerruh bad”. But, that’s just me. That defense in Dallas is bad. That defense in Atlanta was bad. Lots of very good, superstar playmakers on that Baltimore defense also. A good argument could be made he was riding the coattails of superstars like Reed, Boulware and Ray Lewis. He was a “one and done” coordinator in a lot of places. There is a reason for that.

He's better than Joe Vitt as a LBR coach.

Joe Vitt is a joke

Re: Mike Nolan fires in Dallas
 

But he did get three, and we’ve only gotten one..., which tells me his ownership style, while being very hands on, is more effective than the Benson Boogie crowd. Benson began in 85 and JJ began ownership in 89, iirc, roughly same amount of time.

Re: Mike Nolan fires in Dallas
 

More effective? Dallas has been irrelevant for the past quarter of a century under Jones' guidance.

Change the timeline all you wish..., but Since JJ has been the owner of the Cowboys, 1989, 31 years ago, he has 3 (three) SB wins.

Since the Benson Boogie train has been in place, 4 (four) years before that, 1985, iirc, the Saints have 1 (One).

3 (three) is greater than 1 (one). I won’t pick an arbitrary timeline, one of my own creation, in order to deliberately mislead folks. I’ll use the entire timeline and accomplishments by both, in their respective timelines. One set of years is “cherry picking” (yours) and the other set is unambiguously factual (mine). Unless I made an error in their ownership dates. Entirely possible, lol.

“Relevancy” is a word I did not use, I used the word effective. And the reason I used effective is bc I very clearly think winning three times as many Super Bowl’s in fewer years is a more effective ownership paradigm..., that is if you use championships as the goal of each team at the beginning of each season. If you’re of the mindset that sitting around a drum circle signing folks songs is the better “goal” to determine effectiveness, then so be it. I use championships.

Solid Arguments defending Mike Nolan's effort in Dallas...

Re: Mike Nolan fires in Dallas
 

Agreed jp, they are solid arguments..., and there is no doubt Nolan was scapegoated. But..., Somebody had to be fired..., unless you think having one of the worst defenses in team history is an ideal outcome wrt successful coaching.

He may be one heck of a pos’n coach, but I’m not buying the article’s intimation that Nolan wasn’t afforded enough time or resources to be effective and successful as a coordinator. He was fired bc:

1) No Dallas team in history, 61 years, has ever allowed points approaching what Nolan’s defense allowed of 473. Not even close.

2) No Dallas team has ever allowed 34 passing TD’s in a season.

3) No Dallas team has ever allowed an entire season of opposing QB’s to post 100+ Passer ratings.

4) Only one Dallas team, 2013, has ever posted more yards allowed.

5) Only one Dallas team, 1960 (expansion season), has posted more points allowed.

6) Only two Dallas teams, 1960 and 2000, allowed more rushing yards per game.

7) Only one Dallas team, 1960 (winless (iirc) expansion team), allowed more yards per carry. And it was so close that pro-football focus has them effectively tied at allowing 5.0 yards per touch.

meh - justified firing. You can’t be the worst DC in a team’s history..., and retain your job.
