Congratulations to ex-Cowboys Asst. Head Coach and offensive genius Sean Payton who left us to join the 3-13 Saints for the 2006 Season along with Drew Brees coming out of San Diego. They took the 3-13 Saints to I think 13-3 in his first season. Parcell coached thru 2006 then retired. In the Broncos come from behind win, Payton went for two following the go-ahead score to give them a 4 pt lead.
We were left with Tony Romo and Mr. Excitement Wade Phillips. We had a good year in 2007, but we know which team got the best of that "deal."
Woulda liked to have seen Payton stay here and maybe pick up Brees. Trade Romo for draft picks. We get Wade, then Garrett and Mike McCarthy. Didn't Romo fumble an extra point attempt that kept us out of an NFC Championship game or something like that? An extra point attempt...
One other question. Does anyone know if Payton just plain hated Jerry Jones and wanted out?
