Jerry.And who let him?
Jerry.And who let him?
Yep.Garrett hired a lot of those guys.
Says the man who dedicated an entire draft to acquiring special teams players.
It's all coaching!
That draft ranks just behide Mike Ditka fiasco with the aints as the worse in history.
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.
Dallas was 20th in the league. devoting 1.59% of its adjusted cap to special teams.
N they say he's not a football guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It’s taken Jerry 25 years to figure out coaching matters. Awesome.
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.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.
Well, at least he knew that if you have a mobile QB your OL can suck balls and that's OK!!!!!!!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.

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.
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.
