Nolan Nawrocki - Gruden to the Cowboys (rumor)

[Aven8]

Sounds good to me. Would love to see Romo walking off the field with a pick with Gruden. Bring it on! Romo is Gannon, but better. Elusive and accurate.

If we beat Atlanta, all this talk will go away. If we lose, I could see something happening. Especially, playing the Eagles right after the Falcons game.

We might be 3-6 by then.

I'm not in favor of a new coach as you just haven't had time to evaluate Garrett although I'm getting more concerned about some aspects. OTOH, I'm liking a lot of what I see as well.

The whole point is you have a good bit of time invested in developing this particular vertical offense we're running. If you bring someone else in here then you're starting over with your offense. That's just a bad idea at this time as long as you can see the team moving forward no matter how slow it may be in some areas.

I do think for the time being Jason needs to move a little more towards putting in more horizontal plays. He's already shown that can be very effective using Witten in that manner. I also think he needs to find the routes that Dez can run more consistently well.

Garrett has been calling the offense for about 6 years now. Every year it gets worst. At one time we were one of the top offenses in the league. Since Garrett has taken complete control, this offense has withered.

I think its time for a different offensive philosophy.

I think hiring Mike Lombardi as general manager and allowing him to bring in his own people would be a good start. Go get Jon Gruden and let him bring Lombardi with him. Gruden or Fisher should have been the two top guys to start with. I think Garrett fooled some people with his 5-3 2010 finish. He had to play with Jon Kitna, and he was forced to run the ball consistently in the second half of the season. He was forced to have a screen game, too.

That would be a good start for the Cowboys if they want to regain credibility and salvage a demoralized fan base. I was hoping Gruden would be the next coach at Tennessee, and he was very interested in the job three years ago. This guy wants to coach, imo. It was reported that Gruden was watching the Vols play on his flight to Arizona. There is a picture of him on the internet taking notes. Gruden has land in East Tennessee, and his wife is a Tennessee native. Gruden was a graduate assistant at Tennessee back in the mid-1980s. What do you know. Gruden actually had to pay his coaching dues and work his way up the coaching ranks. I liked Gruden and Fisher, but I sure let Garrett fool me with that 5-3 finish. It was nothing but hocus-pocus.

I've sure seen enough of Jason Garrett's inconsistent, erratic coaching. If things stay the way they are, I'm not going to worry about it. The results will eventually be too much for Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett to overcome. The team is headed for 8-8 and quite possibly worse. Why will things be different under Garrett next year?

Jerry is attached to Garrett the way Coach Pop is attached to Matt Bonner.....what is with these red heads, what mystic power they must possess to continue to fail, but keep their jobs......btw, im a red head too.

[DCBoysfan]

I don't see Garrett going anywhere, but I can see him giving up his play calling duties next year.

Guys. Listen up!!!!

The offense isn't the problem. TURNOVERS are the problem.

The Cowboys are I think 7th in offense. Get rid of the turnovers and this team is 5-2, maybe 6-1. And that's with Garrett as HC.

Take Bryant off special teams. Have him run patterns CORRECTLY. Get rid of Felix permanently. Protect Romo.

These things can be done with Garrett as HC. That's where the problems are.

[Doomsday]

The turnovers are a direct cause of all the mental mistakes and those go right back to JG. It is his offense and it is his job to get these guys ready and to adjust his scheme to better suit their talents. Neither one of those things is happening as far as I can tell.

I still think he has to get another season, you cant keep changing coaches every couple of years that is a recipe for disaster. I like the type of players he has brought in and I really think he will be a good coach, it just sucks he is learning on the job.

[BraveHeartFan]

Don't know if I buy any of this at this point.

[Coy]

Too good to be true.

[DrKennethNoisewater]

I'd love Gruden or a coach like him. To me having a coach like Garrett is fine if you have a team full of leaders. I don't see anyone of the roster stepping up and being that team leader, so you need that from your coach. I have yet to see that from Garrett, so I'd welcome a personality like Gruden in here for the players to follow.

The offense is responsible for the turnovers, so there is the problem. Only averaging 18 PPG is also a product of an unproductive offense. Yards are nice to have, but points are what the offense needs to produce.

Who has won a SuperBowl as a HC in two places because there is not one I am aware off. Their are many assistant coaches that have rings that then won Rings as a HC. Pleas enlighten me on a HC that has won SB with two different teams.

I know of 4 coaches that have been to SB with two different teams they lost with one team and won with one.

Shula Lost with Baltimore Colts won with Miami
Parcells won with Giants Lost with NE
Vermiel Lost with Eagles won with Saint Louis Cardinals
Holgrem Won with GB lost with Seahawks
