I guess that is just where I would prefer to be. I'd rather rebuild with my players, than to use the players given to me by someone else.
He's got a long way to fall right now with Dallas, but he has almost no where to go but up in Baltimore, and Baltimore has some talent still lingering (unlike Atlanta). I guess that's my thought. Plus, I have a head coach mentality, and now he's stuck in the OC position for at least 2 more years if not longer.
Also, if the Cowboys lose next year, it will likely be because the offense took a nose dive, so why would they promote the reason they got worse? He HAS to maintain his current level on offense, and quite frankly, I don't think it's possible. Look at how poorly the offense ran at the end of the season. He was getting figured out.

I think one thing we can almost bank on is that the Cowboys won't go 13-3 next year.

Why not? They've got money to upgrade positions such as WR, OL and RB, 2 first round picks in the draft. Rumor has it that they are interested in Michael Turner RB San Diego, they could go after Roy Williams, draft some OL and be better next year. Garrett is a pretty good OC. I wouldn't be surprised if they go 13-3 next year.

I could see the Cowboys going 10-6 next year.

Wow! That's impressive. Don't know who is coming and who is going in free agency, don't know who is going to get drafted, don't know who is going to replace a couple of scouts and a coach.

And already a 10-6 prediction. Like I said....impressive.

My prediction had nothing to do with the Dallas' personnel next year. Actually they could upgrade at some positions and I'd feel the same way.

It's just very difficult to put together back to back seasons of 13 wins. Not to mention, the NFC EAST will be the toughest division in football next year.

I'm going on record early by saying 8-8 to 9-7 TOPS. The ENTIRE NFCE is going to be healthy and improved next year. Obviously the Giants are a team to content with and considering their young secondary has been playing well, they'll be an NFCE title contender.

The Redskins will be back at full strength and went 9-7 missing the right side of their line and their best defensive player is deceased. We could only guess how much they could be improved.

Philly is always nasty year after year and I wouldn't expect anything different next year.

Dallas has a team that, statistically, was EXTREMELY lucky when it came to the injury bug. TO and Glenn are another year older and slower as well as Henry and Newman. Sure, they're fielding the same team next year, but I can't imagine any type of huge splash they're going to make that'll improve them above 13-3. I'm a KNOWN Romo hater, but we saw his luck totally run out in December. He couldn't run around in the back field all game and just chuck it up for grabs and have someone magically come down with it.

If he can't fix that "run around and lose twenty yards in sack yardage" and fix his INT problems, they're going to find that while they have a franchise QB, he isn't the future Hall of Famer he's already been anointed.

I absolutely agree. I would be surprised to see them get 10 wins. 8 or 9 I think.
