Quote:But what credibility did he have with the team when he got there?

 

The players hated the move initially.

 

All of the "white house" stuff blew up under Switzer.

 

Later, Aikman said Switzer was needed because he backed off of the team.

 

But your post raises another issue.

 

Basically what you are saying is that, given the right amount of talent, the coaching equivalent of a trained monkey can win, irrespective of post game press conferences.

 

You said earlier that Green, Ditka and Mora won not because of press conference tirades, but because of the talent on their teams.

 

Now you are saying that Switzer won because of the talent.

 

Yes, given THAT amount of talent that the 1995 Cowboys had, even a trained monkey (Switzer) could win 

 

Now, we both know that teams assembling THAT level of talent is quite rare, as was that situation as usually consecutive winning superbowl coaches don't get fired, hence its an outlier...., but yes, I'm sure you'll spin that the way you want....
