It's fair to say my last post (Changing Coaches isn't always the Magic Bullet) wasn't wonderfully received by the masses. To be fair, in the article I'm kinda advocating the Cowboys stick with Todd, rather than changing tack at this point - an opinion clearly not widely shared. I thought I made a fairly compelling case that swapping coaches isn't always a magic bullet that sees your team roar up the table and become a premiership threat, but I certainly got a lot of people sending me examples of coach changes that did bear fruit quickly.
The bigger concern that was raised though was that of the club's trajectory.
Perhaps though the more interesting thing that emerged during the back and forth on Twitter, is the fact that many anti-Todd Cowboys fans are actually hoping the rest of the season goes rather badly. Clearly the thinking is a bad finish to the 2025 campaign will probably sign the death certificate of Todd as a coach.
So because you feel a change in coaching staff is key to success of the club, you want the case for change to become a slam dunk rather than a debate. So you actually start wanting the team to lose.
It's a funny situation, I refer to as the Tollett Paradox. The Cowboys aren't the first club to experience it. Indeed I remember feeling the same about Tim Sheens and the club toward the end of his tenure.
I'm sure Titans fans (all 7 of them) probably feel the same way regarding Des right now.
