To all the Garrett naysayers: What's your solution?

[superpunk]

"Provide a solution or pipe down"?

It's a discussion board. A pointless entertainment that keeps people with too much time on their hands at work occupied. Noone is forwarding this crap to Jerry Jones, whose job it is to "provide solutions" so chill out.

[Dave_in-NC]

Garretts made mistakes that young coaches make. The solution is that he learns from them and grows. The problem becomes how much time does he get to do it? We have key players who even Jerry knows the window is closing on.

[Red Dragon]

The naysayers think the solution is to fire Garrett, of course.

Agree with this 100%. Nicely stated.

Nope.

You actually gave him a list of things you'd like to see improved. That's a wish list.

You didn't, however, give any solutions (that would be how to get the results of your wish list) on how you'd go about making sure he, or any coach for that matter, would achieve this wish list of things you'd like to see happen.

What is your solution for making these things that need to improve actually improve? What do you believe should be done differently by Garrett to improve those areas?

[Verdict]

That is an easy question. The answer is ***** about Garrett until he gets fired. But if he succeeds, then immediately start *****ing about something else.

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

You can add 'score more' 'get scored on less' and 'win more games' to this excellent and carefully considered list. Thanks for sharing.

I have an answer: off with his head.

Wasn't this the original question from the OP: "What does Garrett need to do to change your tune?"

Hardly something someone can't reasonably be expected to be privy to. Unless the the answer is 'He can't change my tune.'

He asked for a "solution", insinuating that people knew the problem.

We SEE the problem but nobody knows why in the hell Dallas can't score once they get into the Redzone.

I don't know. I think he was pretty clear in what he asked, and it's a very answerable question, or should be, for people who have an issue with the HC.

As to the red zone questions, we've had dozens of threads on that topic, with lots of good insight into the problem. I think it's pretty clear what the issues and limitations have been in that regard. We've got a limited number of running plays that the head coach believes can be successful in the red zone, and we have to pass too often to try to score as a result. It makes us predictable, and that hurts our success down there, and people don't like it. And we've made moves in the offseason to address it.

When you refuse to accept anything that doesn't support your agenda, then no answer will satisfy.

I believe Garrett is not this top flight play caller, has issues with clock management, and sometimes has a brain cramp at the end of the half and the end of the game as far and managerial decisions.

Sometimes. Not always,. But enough it concerns me.

[THUMPER]

I think many people view Garrett the way they view Romo, until he wins it all he hasn't done anything.

I like a lot of the things I have seen from Garrett but some other areas still need a lot of work, play-calling and clock-management being the most egregious.

One solution has already been implemented, hiring Bill Callahan as the OL coach and alleviating Garrett of some of the OC duties. I think that will go a long ways towards allowing Jason to focus a bit more and not be overwhelmed in crucial moments of the game, as it has seemed too many times.

I like Jason's approach to the game and to the team and his meticulous nature. He has gotten rid of the malcontents and gone after a better quality of person in the players we have now. I believe that will pay big dividends for us.

He is very intelligent and KNOWS the game but I think he can try to take on too much and needs to delegate better, Callahan's presence will help with that and I think we will see a much more decisive HC in Garrett because of it.

One other area of concern for me has been the lack of player preparation. It seems like they don't know where to line up half the time or what their assignment is. That speaks to me of either they aren't being coached properly or they are just not very smart or they are simply not motivated.

If we have brought in dumb players then that is on the front office (including Garrett), if it is either of the other two then that is on Jason and his coaching staff. He needs to learn what will motivate guys like Dez Bryant to put in the time to learn the plays, routes, assignments, etc. Next, Jason needs to make sure that the players are being taught and not simply instructed. He's the HC and is/will be held responsible for the success of the play on the field, not his assistants.

Some of the motivation needs to come from the other players in the locker room, which is how it was mostly done back in the day, but it is Garrett who will instill that TEAM attitude that will create that sense of accountability between players and I believe he is doing a good job of that so far.

The bottom line for me: I am glad that we have Garrett as the HC but he still needs to improve in some key areas before I will have that blind faith in him that I had in Tom Landry. I think the players feel the same way.
