Twitter: Jerry critical of ST after NE loss: "Special teams is 100-percent coaching"

[TheMarathonContinues]

And who let him?

Jerry.

 

[Risen Star]

Says the man who dedicated an entire draft to acquiring special teams players.

It's all coaching!

 

[Redball Express]

Garrett hired a lot of those guys.

Yep.

Garrett has certainly been the lynch pin of the failures.

But the whole FO has to be responsible to an extent. They are not trapped in some vacuum.

They can hear the rumblings, too.

And they did little to change anything until now.

 

[Teague31]

you mean letting half the coaching staff “learn on the job” was a bad idea? Huh.....

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

Sorry Jerry- you have consistently built a "top heavy" roster, where a few elite players command a disproportionate share of the salary cap.

Lack of quality special teams players and depth is the consequence of this bad strategic decision by management.

Somebody needs to be critical of his no GMing ***!

That draft ranks just behide Mike Ditka fiasco with the aints as the worse in history.

 

[Captain-Crash]

yep, the special team and the defense should have scored more since dak couldn't.

The 1995 and 2009 draft classes are by far the worst I've seen here.

Jerry, as an owner who refuses to hire a real GM, is responsible both for the players who undermined our unit and the coaches who couldn't turn them into chicken salad.

Nothing worse than a dumpster fire of a person in a high-up position who blames everyone else for his failures.

According to spotrac, 2019 Special Teams Spending by team:

Dallas was 20th in the league. devoting 1.59% of its adjusted cap to special teams.

Baltimore was #1, devoting 5.27% of its adj. cap to special teams.

Superbowl Champs KC were 12th, devoting 2.86% of their adj. cap.

Based on salary cap dollars, KC ($5,425,000) spent 69.58% More than Dallas ($3,199,117)
Based on salary cap dollars, Baltimore ($9,886,668) spent 209% More than Dallas.

Perhaps the blame falls on the GM, and Dallas got what it paid for, rather than bad coaching.

Should have scored a TD against The Hoodie during the punt fiasco. He left a WR uncovered w/o *anyone* back to return the ball. Nothing but green field in front of the WR, Chris Jones has a good arm, as evidenced by throws before. Most of us could have made that throw. Just get it out there. Instead, we end up taking a delay penalty.

Jerry did replace the guy. Made a mistake. Corrected it the next year. That's a lot faster than he's corrected other coaching personnel mistakes.

That number is only for the K,P,LS, not all ST players.

1 Chris Jones P $2,300,000 1.15%

It’s taken Jerry 25 years to figure out coaching matters. Awesome.

N they say he's not a football guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, I'd argue it took him two years rather than one to see O'Quinn was a bad special teams coach for us. O'Quinn's special teams units were bad in both of his two years running them for us. The FG kicking unit costing us the entire margin of difference between winning the division and missing the playoffs in 2019 made more people notice, but we had a bad special teams unit in 2018 too.

And for all the talk of how ungodly awful our average starting field position was this year, it was bad in 2018 too (just not so extreme down in the bottom 3 to make everyone stand up and notice).

But, yes, since we grade Jerry on a curve, it's nice that it only took him 2 years to realize something that, in other circumstances, he might have taken 4 or 7 or 10 years to notice.

Well, at least he knew that if you have a mobile QB your OL can suck balls and that's OK!!!!!!!

Garrett thought the appointed assistant Special teams coach was fit and well prepared for the full time job.
O' Quinn had been with the Cowboys with the scout and quality control, and the Cowboys thought they knew all the inside they had to know with O' Quinn
that they could fully rely upon him. Wrong !

Once Rich Bisaccia took his act towards Radas land, the Cowboys thought they had a sure heir apparent in O' Quinn. ...WRONG !
and this time around, McCarthy & Co. didnt want to take any more chances this time around as Fassel is one of the more reputable special teams
coaches around. i couldnt believe the Rams allowed his contract to expire.

And Fassel is the kind of SP coach that not only executes fundamentals and discipline but he will challenge an opposing team.
He will resort to fake formations and fronts to confuse opponents, draw them offside or look for a go for it opening.
Between now and post draft i expect Cowboys to gather up a horde of special teams related players to assist Fassel as much as possible.

Cowboys were 20th in spending but 32nd in nearly every stat (meaning worst in the league).
