In the end, all he could do was sigh. As Dallas Head Coach utvol27 sat in his 5,200 sq. ft. coaches office after the game in Cowboys Stadium, he knew he'd have to answer the question..."how, after an undefeated, (16-0), regular season, could his team somehow defy the odds and find a way to lose yet another playoff game?""The referees were out to get the Cowboys tonight," said Coach utvol27 as Jerry Jones sttod nearby, glaring at the head coach. "We had this game in hand, and the Eagles and the Refs just made plays and calls to snatch it from us."
The Cowboys have not won a playoff game since December 28, 1996. Coach utvol27 was brought in this past off-season (after an unprecedented run coaching the Clemson Tigers for 5 seasons) to reverse the fortunes of a franchise that always seemed to find ways to lose come playoff time. Yet, the young ball coach came up short, and owner Jerry Jones is forced to live another off-season wondering what can be done to win a playoff game in Big D.
"We'll go back to the drawing board," said coach utvol27. "This is the toughest loss I've had to deal with since my last defeat (season 5 of RUTS to brother UTVOL54's LSU team). We'll be back next season, have a great draft, and take the league by storm yet again."
On this night however, all the young coach could do is sit alone in his plush office, with only his thoughts and an ice cold Zima to keep him company.
