A former Cowboys assistant coach believes the team was complacent. Paul Pasqualoni, now the head football coach at the University of Connecticut, was Dallas' defensive line coach and interim defensive coordinator during the 2010 season. In an interview with the Dallas Morning News, Pasqualoni said the Cowboys had great expectations for the Super Bowl after their success during the 2009 season and in a playoff game.
"It's not something I ever believed automatically carries over," Pasqualoni said. "Last year as we started the season with the Cowboys, they had won their first playoff game in quite a while, get into the season, we weren't winning very many games because I think the decision was made, 'Well we've come this far, we got this much done, maybe we can kind of pick up where we left off.'
"You can't do that in this game. The game requires you to start over every single year."
The Cowboys finished the 2010 season with a 6-and-10 record, which tied the Washington Redskins for third place in the NFC East.
