Man, Tomlin going to the Cowboys would make me sick. He's not gonna put up with Jerry's meddling and Tomlin would turn them into perennial contenders.
So many Pittsburgh fans want him fired. I see it weekly, and every time, I am as blown away by their ignorance and spoiled ways as I was the last time.
Giants aren't a very good team and won't be contending in such a tough division like the NFC East for some time. Dallas would be a great landing spot but they have a corrosive, difficult highly egocentric owner who is so heavily involved in running the teams' day-to-day decisions, its next to impossible for his HC'S to be allowed to run the team the way they want or need to because essentially, Jerry Jones becomes like a rival, second HC. And its been that way for over 30 years since he fired Jimmy Johnson and after they won a third SB basically with an absentee HC built around Jimmy's guys. Nearly years after SB XXX, Dallas still hasn't even come close to sniffing a NFCCG appearance, much less a Super Bowl and at 82 years old, Jones knows he doesn't have too much time left.
You do know that in his heart of hearts, Jerry Jones would prefer and killed to have signed Bill Belicheck. That's the sort of guy he'd want running his team right now and it would've been a done deal by now and Belicheck's press conference as the new Cowboys HC with a smiling, smug Jones by his side would soon be taking place. Problem is, Bill probably wanted too much power, control and influence over team personnel decisions like FA signings, hiring/firing assistants, scouting and deciding on incoming drafts. A similar sort of amount of power and influence he enjoyed in New England for 22 years and knowing Jones' manaiacal, paranoid obsessive need for control, that simply wasnt going to happen.
If he truly wanted a new challenge, their are far better, more preferable options Tomlin could choose from to take on and rebuild other then some perennial, continuous endless migraine that is being a Cowboys HC under Jerry Jones. At the end of the day, it's just not worth the perpetual insanity and internal frustration he'd face trying to build and construct a new identity in Dallas with Jones' incessant meddling no matter how much more money Jones could offer him.
Problem is, look at how long Pittsburgh went without having that franchise Pro-Bowl QB after Bradshaw retired following the 1983 season and the team slogged on the rest of 80's with still-good defenses, decent RB's but forgettable, mediocre QB's like Mark Malone, David Woodley, Neil O'Donnell and even though they enjoyed a resurgence under Bill Cowher in the 1990's, pre-Ben, the best overall QB he had was Kordell Stewart and he was originally drafted as a WR. Even under most of Cowher's tenure, until the very end, they lacked that key, main ingredient to complete the teams' offensive identity. They essentially went 21 years without having that prolific, perennial franchise QB even though they still had extremely talented, deep depth-laden teams loaded with Pro Bowlers.
Give me a team that's in the playoffs every year and I'll be happy. Once they hit on a QB they will be instant SB contenders.
