...or not.
With the news that the Cowboys do not anticipate making any major changes to the coaching staff, it's time to once again face reality: nothing will ever change as long as Jerry Jones is alive. Jason Garrett will remain the head coach, Scott Linehan will remain the offensive coordinator, Dak Prescott will remain the starting quarterback, and we will continue to smash our heads against the wall in frustration. Oh, sure, Kris Richard will be promoted to defensive coordinator; which will be music to @Greg29fan's ears, considering the rumors that the Rams knew what the Cowboys were doing on defense.
It's a testament to the talent on the roster that they were able to win the division and advance to the Divisional round despite being predictable on offense and defense. Somewhere in the deep recesses of my brain resides a tiny optimist, and that optimist in me thought that the addition of a safety of the caliber of Earl Thomas might vault the defense into the elite tier. The reality, however, of being a Cowboys fan is much more complicated - and heartbreaking - than that. Every time you can allow yourself to start to believe they may have turned a corner, they pull the rug out from under you. But hey, at least they didn't lose like Chicago. So, yay?
