Report: Garrett staying...To get a play caller?

[FiveRings]

Fine I'm absolutely fine with this. Garrett's biggest problem is his play calling, all the other team stuff we've seen him actually grow. But please, bring anyone, I can't watch this same exact gameplan since 07 for another year

Won't matter. Scheme is too much of an issue.

Interesting to see how many more excuses Jones can come up with that don't point back to himself. Forcing Garrett to hire a playcaller is an obvious one, but there aren't many obvious ones remaining left.

In your mind it is.

I couldn't possibly disagree more.

...don't make for better timeouts. Better players can't always cover for good game plans by the other coordinator.

Better players can't design plays for teams when half your roster is injured.

Make small continuous improvements and take opportunities when they arise. This isn't Madden. You can only add where there is opportunity.

Right now the opportunity is on the coaching side. The players is a little later.

He hasn't grown at managing games. Still just as sucky.

Im not sure about insisted but he has stated numerous times this season he wants his HC to call plays but than again it is Jerry so you cant really believe everything you hear.

...greatest problem is adjustments. He's too slow to develop an adjustment against some of his defensive counterparts.

Haslett and Fletcher clearly had Garrett and Romo's number yesterday.

Just give Callahan complete control of the offense.

Due to Callahan being with the Cowboys for a year, he should be comfortable with their (Garrett's) existing terminology; however, he can install his type of offense (more West Coast influenced) without forcing the players to learn a new terminology.

I know that he had the title of OC this year; however, most of the plays looked similar Garrett's plays from last year.

I agree with both of you, not a Garrett supporter but this is the best news on the Garrett front that we've heard in a while. And as for game planning, I used to think that he does a poor job at in game adjustments, but it dawned on me that Garrett usually has the right idea, just never sticks with it.

didnt you start another thread telling everyone that this was a successful season and the team overachieved?

if so, why would you want to change anything?

which is it?

cant have it both ways

This is nothing but a pure guess. Read the article.

After failing to make the playoffs for a second straight season under coach Jason Garrett, the Dallas Cowboys are planning to make changes.
Black Monday: NFL teams make changes



NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Monday that Garrett's job is secure, but Dallas does plan to bring in help on the offensive side of the ball.

"The Cowboys intend to keep Jason Garrett, I have not heard this morning that that has changed," Rapoport told "Around the League" on Monday. "A better possibility is that the Cowboys could hire an offensive coordinator to call plays for Jason Garrett and allow him to be a walk-around coach and essentially just be the leader of men that they think he can be."

Ok.. This makes me smile. I figured Jerry would do something regardless of how we made our way to the Redskins game. Garrett (imho) simply blows as an offensive play caller and ultimate decision maker on that side of the ball. Make him a glorified cheerleader of men (ala Mike Tomlin) and keep it moving. Add me to the hopefuls that Norv takes an OC job with us.

You're clearly another person that jumped at the thread title and didn't read the thread. My post in a nutshell was saying that if you gave us our team this year, healthy, we would have played extremely well. Next year, in anticipation of health and some positive changes, we'll be scary good.

I think it's a dumb move. It's a way that Jerry gets out of firing him and feeling bad about it, instead of just ridding himself of this mess that he created.

It will really show us what a lousy coach he really is, if he gets stripped of the only thing that got him the job in the first place.

We should hire a whole new staff and start over fresh. Let that staff make changes and get a new plan together.
