What's it going to be then, eh?

Not being glib, but totally serious.

If any of you have been around anyone who has shown signs of senility, this man has it.

No question.

Am I weird? I like the organization and culture that we have built here. We have gone 8-8 with middling overall talent the last few years. Is that Garrett's fault? We've lost games we should have won. Sure. But we've always won games we should have lost.

And people call him a "trainee" coach but what does that even mean? Is every guy in the NFL supposed to have NFL coaching experience before he is hired. Logically that can't work and frankly im glad we aren't on the coach retread ferris wheel. Just as players grow into their jobs so too can a coach. Face it....just as there is not 32 elite NFL quarterbacks walking this Earth...there aren't 32 elite NFL coaches either. Why not try and develop guys? Both in player and coaching personnel.

Earlier this offseason there was a quote where Jason said something along the lines we need to play better as a team and we need to coach better as a staff than we did last year. And people were legitimately upset. Like admitting you need to be better at your job as a coach is a bad thing.

It's not that he says it but he says it every year and every year the same things happen. Look I hope he proves me wrong this year. I hope we win the division and make the playoffs. Nothing would make me happier than to be wrong but I just get tired of the same mistakes every year. I just want to see him improve as a coach.

If Red can't win once they have a decent defense then I'll be ready to write him off,,, until then though I remain hopeful. That doesn't always work out of course, I used to think Jerry would grow and learn as a GM but his development is way to slow.

Wait...did Jerruh say he owed it to Cowboys fans?...Because that could 'splain a lot.

Jerry genuinely believes Jason is the next Bill Belichick, and is scared to death of making the same mistake Cleveland did when they fired him.

See the not much camp interest in camp thread. JJ has to generate it some how.

You guys do deserve a nice long extension for him. Since you were so patient with all the development. I can feel a 5 year extension coming as payback for us.

LOL.....once Jerry starts talking its all over for Red.....he just got his kiss goodbye....... See ya Red....

Get Jerry Jones some Geritol...old man is gonna need it...lol

No he doesn't. I believe he thinks he has some potential but not to that extent. This is all about being able to control him and being comfortable with a head coach. He has a 20+ yr relationship with him and his family. He will NEVER be more comfortable working with a head coach.

Wait a darn minute. Did you not hear Jerry tell us the doctors say he has the brain of a 40-year-old?
