He is now 38-23 as the HC of the Dallas Cowboys and has a good chance to become only the second coach in franchise history to win 12 games in three consecutive seasons.

Before his arrival Dallas hadn't won 10 games in consecutive years since 1996.

It is what everyone has been saying all along: Aaron Rodgers was holding Mike McCarthy back.

[–] PeanutButterOtter@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And he's gonna get fired after he loses to the Eagles/49ers in the divisional round.

Let Aaron Rodgers ponder that for awhile lol

I could’ve sworn this was only like his third season in Dallas. What the fuck happened

[–] PointBlankCoffee@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

4th but yeah.

Dak missed his first season too. Went out in week 5 and we finished 6-10.

Covid year made you forget about 2020 I guess.

[–] Snowstick21@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Dak is better than Rodgers confirmed

/s

Maybe the most disrespected head coach in the league

[–] bluecognito@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Literally done nothing but win all his life but he gets cooked because our shameless players forget the basic rules of the game when the playoffs come.

He has arguably the best Defense in the NFL

Can’t wait for a similar Reddit post in 5-6 years that goes: “Bill Belichick now has a higher winning percentage with Mac Jones than he did with Tom Brady.”

Just need a couple of 17-0 undefeated seasons and a couple more really good years. You’ll see. You’ll all see.

Do it in the SEC

This is a cool stat, but it definitely does not paint the whole story. For one thing, he coached in Green Bay longer than he has coached for Dallas, so the amount in which a season would affect win percentage in Dallas is greater than that of Green Bay.

Also, if this includes every year he was in Green Bay, then that would me it includes the year where Rodgers broke his collarbone and the team went 7-9 (which, while not as bad as I remember, that is still a season that would hurt his win percentage and help explain where that some of that gap came from). If you were to add the wins that season to the cowboys wins and the losses to the cowboys losses, then added the wins and losses together, you would get 77 games in total. Divide the total number of wins (45) by the total amount of games (77) you get a .508 win percentage. If you add another season like that to his record in Green Bay, he would have a .598 win percentage. That is a .115 difference compared to a .02 difference. I know it’s a bit unfair to add a season from Green Bay to the total record of his tenure in Dallas, I just thought it was a good way to show how much the difference in games played can affect the overall win percentage when the two teams had the same record in a season.

While this stat is cool to look at, when there is a 127 game (which is the total amount of wins he had in Green Bay funnily enough) difference in the games played, win percentage is hard to compare.

(I’m a 49ers fine by the way, so I have no horse in this race)

Ya, how about we wait to see how the season finishes, last I checked Dallas has 0 wins against teams with .500 or better records and the next 5 weeks all teams Dallas faces have that. So if they go 0-5 this post was meaningless

[–] imtalkintou@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

202 games in GB and 61 for Dallas.

What a dumb take. 3 times as many games in GB than Dallas.

As a cowboys fan that was my takeaway from this lmao. If we start losing what does this mean at all, nothing

[–] littlejugs@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What playing the giants and commanders twice a year does to a mfer

[–] Gaijin_Titty_Master@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s all against garbage teams!!! Why are people praising Dallas so much when they FOLD against quality teams!?

[–] WideTechLoad@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And they'll get about as far as the Vikings in the playoffs. Honestly, I'd rather have the dominant regular season Dallas fans have had as opposed to the heart attack specials we've had in Minnesota the past few years.
