There are some definite positives from the 2025 season for the Cowboys. Brian Schottenheimer proved he is a capable head coach, navigating some really rough waters to a point where he still seems to be in command of his club, and still has the respect of the roster. His side of the ball, the offense, has been one of the better units in the league in 2025 and will return most of the key players, pending a resolution of George Pickens' situation.
The idea that the question of whether a coaching upgrade might be beneficial has already been "asked and answered" with this Leafs team also doesn't adequately account for the amount of roster turnover in the past couple of years, including the departure of a certain 21+ minute lineup centerpiece this past summer.
