Before you catch on that this is yet another bounty related thread, I want to make mention that I want to look at the positive side of what has happened and how it will affect the team. Some of my thoughts are:

1. It will give Sean a chance to clean up some things in his personal life without it being a distraction during the season. Not to be cold hearted but I'm sure most everyone at this site at least suspected something was not exactly right between them when Coach moved his wife back to Dallas.

2. It will give Sean a chance to view his team from a perspective no other head coach has ever had...as an outsider. Maybe he'll spot some things that he can use in 2013 that he otherwise would not have seen.

3. People take sabbaticals all the time to renew and refresh during their careers. I'm sure Sean would rather not be taking it, but it gives him a year off from the daily grind of an NFL HC. There's got to be some positives in that.

4. Will Smith's season is now 75% as long as most of the DEs in the league. Sure, he's going to be missed the first four games, but afterwards he should rested and healthy.

Any other positives I've missed?
