So they are looking at Holmgren and Carmichael?

I think "chink in the armor" understates it a bit. I cannot get behind the hiring of a personnel man who was responsible for picking Brandon Weeden last year.

Press conferences.

Might as well just come out and admit that Jerry has so much faith in Garrett that he's willing to actually hire people to teach him.

Right? This is very similar to what we saw with Campo before he was replaced.

Well if we didnt constantly lose then there wouldn't be anything to complain about.

All I care is that we get someone who will help us avoid the Jenkins, Felix's, Spears, Carps, Bennett's and Jacob Rogers's of the draft.

I know our last three drafts have been better, and I know everyone misses on occasion, but I'd like us to hit on a 85-95% of our first/second round picks from here on out.

If I were going to bring in a consultant to fix the offense, I would try to find a defensive coordinator that coached against Garrett. He would know all of Garrett's weaknesses.

Hey Jason,

The offense you handcrafted over the last half dozen years sucks so we're bringing a team of experts in to fix it.

We want you to stick around to give inspirational pregame speeches, encourage playes on the practice field and say nothing during press conferences though.



Yup. That should work well.

[JerryJonesMustGo]

We wont get a 'real' OC. We will get one tht has been neutered.

Maybe Garrett's ego is not as fragile as some here would like to think?

There is something called a "growth mindset" that welcomes challenge, fialure, and opportunities to learn from others in order to grow and develop your own skills beyond their current limits.

I know it sounds crazy, but IF this scenario were to play out, perhaps he wouldn't see it as totally emasculating him as some here seem to think.

I wonder your impression of Garrett if your standards are so high.

Holmgren has only like 3 losing seasons as a HC. And is one of like 5-6 guys who have HC'd two different Super Bowl participant Franchises.

He failed at President of Browns, but to be fair even Belichik sucked there...

And frankly, if the "consultant" is okay with that, I am all for it. Whatever it takes to get Jerry to stop playing Madden with our team.

I think something along the lines of Parcells in Miami, I read an article earlier maybe it was on here, but it said that JJ was real impressionable when it came to listening to other people, maybe now you have a filter when it comes to information that filters up to JJ, and you won't have so many people in his ear. I give JJ more credit than most on here, a person that is as successful as he is and as passionate does most everything with good intentions. I think he listens to those who he trusts, but as we all know everyone has different opinions, that is obvious from reading these boards.

Did I say anything about Holmgren as a Head Coach? I think he's a great coach. I just don't think he's good at picking players.

Hopefully Jerry doesn't ask the consultant to clock in.
