Not really, Gus Bradley and more accurately Pete Carroll. Quinn is not of their caliber.Dan Quinn was the architect of that defense. Richards was a hanger on.

True,true. I forgot about Gus.Not really, Gus Bradley and more accurately Pete Carroll. Quinn is not of their caliber.
KRichard wasn’t the problem.

Well, not a lot of new news here, unfortunately. I don't recall who I was discussing this with, like a year ago. But the way Richard ran his Defensive Backfield was not typical. Remember, it was said more then once that the Back End of the Defense and the Front End didn't really play together a lot of the time. There was a reason that you had Co-DC responsibilities in Dallas and there was a reason that Marinelli was talking about retiring. A lot of the fan base tend to blame Marinelli and I think you can make a case that his scheme had issues but, nobody really called out Richard much. Each ran a very unique scheme, in terms of how they played their personnel. You can't really do that independently and expect to succeed. What needs to happen there is that you pick a horse and you ride with it. This, to me, is a case where we tried to play both sides against the middle. I feel like Jerry saw Payton leave, he saw Uberfluss move on, he saw Zimmer move on and they've all proven to be pretty decent coaches for other teams and this is just three. There have been more. I think that Jerry didn't want to lose Richard and so he ended up allowing autonomy on the defensive side of the football, between the two schemes and what we saw were results that cost us. You can't play defense that way. All parts of the whole need to be working in unison and we didn't have that IMO.
I felt like he kept him on as a shield. Firing him and getting another DC could have been his last lifeline here, whenever it got to that. But it was so bad both were let go same timeagree.
JasonG would NOT leave Marinelli.
cost him big time in the end.
Those of you who don't know Clay Mack, he's a big-time DB coach/trainer based in DFW. He said he doesn't think its a personnel issue with the backend. He said when he trained the Cowboys DBs in the offseason the coaches were forcing them to do only one technique instead of coaching to their strengths.
It's more likely that Taco gets 20 sacks...Watch Byron Jones get 5 picks next year.
how do you feel about Kellen Moore?The more that comes out about the former coaching staff the madder I get.
So glad McCarthy cleaned house and brought in his guys.
Yeah it kinda sucks we're not able to see the previous talent with the current staff. If Garrett was rightfully fired after the '18 season, we could have at least got a year of it.Lol, can't wait to see this team, which now by the way has less talent, but with real coaching. Yes, less talent, Byron Jones, Robert Quinn, Travis Frederick. I hated that idiot and his coaching staff and their philosophy, they should have been removed 7 years ago. Not even that big a MM fan but at least he is a real HC with real staffs and ability.
How so???yet history disagrees with you.

Not as simple as the kick-step technique not being a good one. Pete Carroll has had it working well for years in Seattle. But it definitely looks like some players embraced it and did quite well like Byron Jones, while other like Awuzie may have struggled with it. There is a history of some corners struggling to adjust to the technique and it sounds like that's what happened here.
But I am curious to see what Al Harris might do with the corners he has in Dallas. He coached both Marcus Peters and Steven Nelson in Kansas City and both have gone on to play quite well.
Hard for anyone to get INTs when you play with your back to the qb. It works for him but sacrifices position and awareness to make the pick.
Garrett??The old Richard kick-step? How’d we ever get that one so wrong, I wonder?
He couldn't catch herpes in a Whorehouse.Byron Jones couldn't catch a cold in the North Pole.
BS, they ran cover 4 and press man as well.
The Autopsy on the Garrett Coaching staff 2013-2019 will be brutal. Kris Richard and Marinelli chemistry. Linehan and rigidity debacle...scheme fit philosophy.
So painful
