Remember Jimmy Johnson was 1-15 in his first season with the Dallas Cowboys back in 1990.

Jimmy Johnson never called for his quarterback to spike the ball on first down with 1:11 to play in the half, a time out still available and 9 yards to go for a touchdown.

''Absolutely,'' Cameron said when asked if the spike was his call. ``We were in great shape there.'' ............... The team was in great shape with four plays to go 9 yards. Take away one of those opportunities from an offense that obviously needs every chance it can get, and you suddenly are going from great shape to just OK. The decision looked even worse when Lemon waited 24 seconds to call a timeout before the failed fourth-down play. That gave time for even the referee to potentially ask, ``Why, exactly, did your coach ask you to spike the ball on first down again?''

If Jerry Jones fired Wade Phillips after going 1-15, ESPN would claim that JJ is the Devil.

But since the talking heads at ESPN are drunk on the Bill Parcell’s koolaide, they don’t care.

The Cowboys of 1990 had potential though - they at least had Troy Aikman at QB. What have the Dolphins of 2007 got? Other than Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas they don’t have any standout talent, and even those two are getting on in years....

“Remember Jimmy Johnson was 1-15 in his first season with the Dallas Cowboys back in 1990.”

True, but they were completely reinventing that team. IIRC.
They made one of the best trades ever, Herschel Walker for the 5 high draft picks. Great move by the Cowboys.
