An even better question is why after such a short time does he want to go back to coaching on the college level.
Hmmmm.
I have my thoughts BUT I am a very big believer that our HC can only portray a personality for the reporters and public but for so long, and then his real personality takes over. But hey, those are just my thoughts from the outside looking in.

Quote from: uconnjack8 on March 18, 2024, 06:33:28 PMI feel like it goes a little deeper than that for the Cowboys. There is no great QBs in the NFC, so they should at least be able to make some noise in the playoffs.
They have enough talent on paper to get to a championship game but haven't been able to.
Heard a story where Dalton Schultz described the atmosphere in Dallas as a "circus". He cited some things like fan stadium tours during workouts. Apparently the weight room has a glass wall and he talked about doing bench presses and fans tapping on the glass. Sounds minor but when you add a lot of little distractions up I think it matters. The description made me think of Rocky III when some girls came to get autographs and Mickey yells at them. Except in this case he would have been encouraging it.
I do get your point about the QBs and don't disagree, but it's tough to move on from a Cousins without knowing how good the replacement is. If the Vikings flop this year that regime will undoubtedly be put the door.
Who would you replace Dak with if you are the Cowboys? If they don't give him the contract, someone else will.

Personally, if I were Daboll, I would lean heavily on Bricillo's input on this subject. If Bricillo told me at the end of August that, based on what he has seen in camp and the preseason, he thinks Eleumenor is the better RT right now and gives us the best chance to win, I would not usurp him and force him to go with Neal because my boss and I had an agenda of trying to make a failed draft pick work. I would definitely go with whoever I thought helped give the team the best chance to win, including in week one.
If Neal wants to keep starting at RT for this team, I don't think expecting him to beat out a FA OT we brought in for $7mm a year (low for that position) is asking a lot of a third year player.
