Quote:He needs to at least get until end of the year.

 

You use the 1990 Cowboys as an example. But the 1990 Cowboys were 3-7 through 10 games. The three wins were close games against two of the worst teams in the league. But they ended the year winning 4 of their last 6. 

 

When the Cowboys beat the Buccaneers for their 2nd/ 3rd win respectively, the Bucs held a 3-1/ and 4-2 record. Yes, the Bucs from that point on - went on to finish 6-10....but I'd say that the Cowboys sweeping them played a hand in their season falling apart at that point. You know how big momentum is/ can be in this league. 

 

The Cowboys also were much improved in year 2 on defense, giving up only roughly 300 points for the entire season.....and look at the defensive roster in 1990 that they accomplished that with. 

 

Gus is supposed to be a defensive specialist and our defense remains one of the worst in football still in year 2.
