The only thing tied is the Cowboys offense, as in tied down with Bryant holding the rope.

This was also before JG became head coach...

That is not what leadership is about.

What Garrett is to put on a show for fans?

First, I did not mention hollering and screaming in that post.

Second, I'm tired of people bringing up Landry when discussing Garrett. Besides, Landry was antimated when he needed to be. Remember, .. "No, Danny No!!"

Even Landry had a different demeanor when they were performing well -vs- performing poorly.

I think a HC needs to have some emotion, some passion that the players can feed off of. He has to show approval and disapproval differently.

Everything is all good all of the time for JG.

and Garrett does show emotions. People are not clones nor are coaches. How you would act and how someone else acts has nothing to do with leadership and it gets old hearing the BS of how a coach should act on the sideline.

Garrett will keep or lose his job like any coach based on his production. he is in his 2nd season as HC and most teams will give a coach more than 2 fricken years to do the job. I know after several years of not having the success people want that, people get impatient but fact remains teams have to give coaches the time to do the job.

You are not on the sidelines you have no clue as to what he saying to any player you get a 5 sec shot and you know? Give me a break

When JG says we need to "work on" cutting down on our penalties, which have cost us at least 2 games this year, why doesn't anyone ask him what exactly are they "working on" or how they plan on doing it?

I get so sick of hearing this and not seeing the results.

well we had 3 penalties in the last game. There was not a lot jumping off sideds by the OL or holding despite facing a very good defensive front. Evidently they did something right.

Nice try, but Garrett was the play caller then also, and that's the part of his role now that everyone wants to hang him for.

And once again, you see things in my post that are not there.

I never mentioned that I want to get rid of Garrett, or think he should be replaced.

Although after 31 games I feel we should be seeing less foolishness on game day.

Then grade him on that, but his demeanor? You see 5 to 10 sec shot on the sideline so people do not know what he is saying to players. People make up their own BS and try to sell it as fact when the truth is none of us are down there and none of us know what is being said or relayed to the players.

I'm not giving Garrett a free pass of any kind. I give him the same courtesy as I would any coach and that is time. You hire a coach then at least give him time to do the job and in my book 2 years is not enough

I do grade his coaching on his W/L record. I grade his leadership on what I see from him as he interacts with players.

It's not just one 5 to 10 second shot.

When I watch the games, I see our coach and the other teams coach. I have watched him for two seasons.

I see both coaches when I watch other pro games.

I see both coaches when I watch college games.

You can tell a lot about a coach's demeanor and interaction with his players.

And once again, I'm not calling for his head. Not sure why you keep bringing that up with me.

[TooStupid]

Maybe a little off topic but did anyone ask or did JG make mention of how his parents made it through Sandy? Where they live on the shore in Jersey pretty much is a ghost town as of now... Obviously Im sure they had to evacuate just hoping they heeded the orders. If this has already been discussed I apologize just finally getting internet going!

A leader has to be WILLING to "holler" and "scream" if that's what's necessary to get the point across.

And you're clueless if you don't think Landry yelled when it was needed.

If Felix is that hurt, then he needs to sit and heal. We still need him. But we need him healthy.

Cowboys have to commit to their younger backs, Tanner and Dunbar, against the Falcons. These 2 guys may not be Felix Jones, but neither is Felix Jones right now. At least both are healthy and can give their all, unlike Felix at this point.

I know, I know, someone will say that is how he is with the media, .. and that I don't know how he is when he is with the team.

Well, my only reply is that his demeanor, and his actions on the sidelines when he is with the team during games, probably reflects how he is during practice and meetings. And that is the same as in interviews.

I want him to be the next "great young coach", and take us to the promise-land, ... buuut not sure we are seeing that yet.

No, a leader does not have to say, or needs to say when things are good and bad. That is what you think a leader is. Leadership definitions is just like *******s, everyone has their own definition of what they think a leader is.

Anyone can lead and there are many different ways to lead. Leaders are born, that is true, but so are followers, so it is good bet that leaders are developed.

I guess you can choose to follow whomever you want, but me, I want the leader to let us know when things are right -vs- wrong, .. good -vs- bad, .. are we going east or west, .. are we going up the mountain or down the trail, .. are we leaving now or are we waiting until morning.

I guess you are right, we all look for different things out of our leaders. One characteristic of a leader is to tell us where we are now, where we are heading, and how we plan to get there.

I want the leader to let me know if I am an asset or a liability in his eyes.

So yes, I think JG needs to have a different demeanor when things are going bad -vs- when things are going well.
