Yeah, I'm really going to miss those two Wildcard wins over the past decade.
Now his groupies can jump up and down and scream "its not his fault" all they want, but you are either part of the problem or part of the solution.
Jason Garrett had a decade and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was not part of the solution, so what does that leave?
That’s under the assumption that’s it’s an All or Nothing goal. If our only measurement is winning championships then there’s going to be many more failures than victories.
Those two Wild Card wins we’re an improvement over the previous 10 years. This era of disappointment is the type of franchise we’ve become under this ownership and dysfunctional organization.
Are we prepared to say that every player this era and last generation was a failure cause they didn’t win a championship ? Is this the kind of franchise and fan base we’ve become?
Parcells didn’t have any more success winning here but I certainly would argue he set us in a better direction during his tenure here.
The greatest measurement for coaching or management is did you leave it in a better place than when you took over. I’d argue Garrett did. If you want to argue we were in a better place in 2010 than we are in 2020 then I’d like to hear that argument.
And don’t misinterpret my perspective for the overall picture as a defense for his coaching ability . My point is it wasn’t a total failure. Unless it’s an All or Nothing proposal which we certainly don’t hold anyone else in our organization to the same Bar including ownership, front office, coaching staff or players.
That said, I agree it was time to make a change but again I’d argue we are in a better position today to succeed moving forward than we were when Garrett took over in 2010 or 2011 when he officially became HC.
And despite the frustrations and disappointments which the emotions of the moment may not allow us to fully appreciate in time as we look back like in Parcells tenure without more success could look back on Garrett’s tenure with the influence he had on moving this franchise in a better direction.
