To all the Garrett naysayers: What's your solution? - Dallas Cowboys Forum

AMERICAS_FAN · 07-02-2012

Yes, I know there's another thread questioning if Garrett has shown us anything. This is a separate topic.

This thread is for the Garrett- naysayers who have dug in and insisted that Garrett has done nothing impressive yet.

So to all of you naysayers I ask - what does Garrett need to do to change your tune?

Some rules in how you can answer: Please be specific. Do NOT just give cookie-cutter answers like "he needs to win" or anything "well-duh!" like that since EVERY coach eventually needs to win. And please don't answer with another counter-question like "tell me what he has done" because that's already been answered for you in the other thread.

In this thread, I'm hoping you can focus on your side and provide your SOLUTIONS for improving the head coaching position of this team.

This thread is not intended to hate on you but to empower you to offer your solutions. Here's your chance to do here what you have not yet done in that other thread and tell all us Garrett apologists (as you like to think of us) HOW he can improve SPECIFCALLY, and with what tactics?

Or if you think he's not the right coach for the job, tell us who would be a better replacement, and in that case, please keep your answers to coaches who are available and looking to coach here, and for them tell us HOW SPECIFCALLY they are an upgrade over Garrett.

You now have the floor...

They have no answers.

We are headed in the right direction. If Garrett cannot get it done in the next 2-4 years, it will be time to move on. But until then, he gets the benefit of the doubt from me.

I like what he's done already.

Lol...Garrett is simply the new object of scorn. Someone has to be, and that someone needs to be a big-shot; otherwise, no one will pay attention. For months it was Romo until the silliness thrown at him was eventually, and for the most part, shot down. For a while it was Witten. I've even seen Ware take some ridiculous criticism.

To be clear, I have no problem with criticism, but for the life of me I cannot understand why it's constantly directed at the most productive people in the organization.

I need to see the off season mantra of discipline and accountability show up on the field in reduction of penalties and missed assignments. If Dez (my favorite player) doesn't know the play then sit him on the bench, now that's accountability.

he needs to improve our offensive scoring greatly. he needs to have better game and time management. he needs to give up play calling (way too much for a young coach to handle), and he needs to develop some damn o-lineman to protect this franchises only hope.

our offense is and has been average since he has been offensive coordinator. and no i don't count yards as offensive success. i count points and red zone conversions as offensive success.

yeah i mean, all this discipline and accountability yet the cowboys continue to rank at the top of the league for UNdisciplined penalties.

they had 3 double digit leads in the 4th last year and completely collasped...NFL RECORD!!! and yet jason (ACCOUNTABILITY) didn't shoulder any of the blame, even after the icing of his own kicker.

One thing, in the Arizona game his mistake was not "icing" his kicker (he just missed the kick) but in not calling a time out after dez's catch. He played scared and it probably cost us the game.

dallasfan4lizife · 07-02-2012

oh yeah! three more things. quit running such a predictive offense, make better in game adjustments, and quit being so indecisive.

Pats game - 3 straight runs up the middle, which cost us the game. Come on garrett.

yeah i don't disagree with you. bailey should have made the kick regardless.

I may be pro Garrett but he will be judged as all coaches are and that is winning and losing. As HC he is ultimately responsible for any and all action taking place on the field, he has great input in the type of players that will be brought in.

The player’s mistakes are his mistakes it is his job to see that these mistakes are corrected or replacing a player who can't seem to avoid mistakes.

In the end if you go out and win no critics will not be able to say much. People talk about leadership on the team well the ultimate leader of any team is the HC he is the man in control of all phases of the team

Garrett has made too many boneheaded decisions in his career, and last year was the worst.

Putting in Miles Austin at running back after being injured.
Multiple time management issues.
Lots of awareness issues.
Red zone scoring.
Penalties.

There were more than I can count. Hopefully, having Callahan will fix a lot of these issues going forward. It is a big make or break year for Garrett and Ryan this season.

Unless I missed it, not one "solution" has been offered yet. Oh, lots more griping that we've already heard, but not one solution.

Ratmatt · 07-02-2012

This organization doesn't place a high enough importance on it's offensive and defensive lines.It also has depth issues.I understand that alot of teams have depth issues in todays salary cap era,but most of the Cowboys depth issues are from poor drafting,and simply being careless with their drafts.This has been an ongoing problem way before Garrett came on the seen.So I don't blame Garrett for any of it.I hope he's given enough time to prove himself.I just have a feeling that Garrett will prove to be a successful head coach in the NFL.Just not in Dallas.

They solution is what we're paying Garrett 4 million a year to find, he has a philosophy lets see if he can get it to show up in on field productivity. This will be his second full season we should start seeing sign off it.
