Not only would a new coach have to learn a new franchise, new players, new front office style but may also have to overcome a bitter locker room. As much as we say these guys are professionals and need to just play for whomever is the coach we all saw the near mutiny with Marty, how Coughlin struggled in NY to gain respect among the players, etc.

It can be done successfully (Tomlin in Pittsburgh when all the players expected/wanted Wisenhunt or Grimm) but with our recent history of instability would this be a 'final straw' type of move for a lot of people?

Dude...of course he can. He's the majority owner of the team and he can do what ever the hell he wants. If the players don't like it then so be it. Coaching changes happen all the time. O/C's and D/C's are hired and fired all the time. Look at Jacksonville? They've had 3 different offensive coordinator's in 4 or 5 years? Dallas didn't seem to have a problem adjust ing to Wade Phillips did they? I know they lost last week but they still went 13-3 w/ a new head coach and two new coordinators. Why? Because they had the best players. All the owners are sniffing Jason Garrett's jock. Like he has something special in his playbook or something. He's got TO, Whitten,Barber and Romo who are all damn good players. All of this coaching stuff is sooooooooooo over rated. Again, it comes down to players.

Al Saunders playbook doesn't look so good w/out the best O-line in the NFL, Priest Holmes, Trent Green in his prime and Tony G. does it? Honestly I'm tired of all the coaching crap. Name a damn HC and let's move on to the draft and free agency!
