News: PFT: Jerry Jones: I thought we would have coached it up enough to win without Romo

[NewsBot]

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones does not seem impressed with the job done by coach Jason Garrett this season. Jones says he thought the coaching staff could have done a better job of succeeding despite the injury to Tony Romo, and he’s disappointed that it wasn’t until Monday night in Washington that they managed to win…http://youwillnotrackme2.net/b.gif?host=profootballtalk.nbcsports.com&blog=&post=2367621&subd=nbcprofootballtalk&ref=&feed=1

It's clear Jerry isn't happy.

I don't see Garrett getting fired, but there will be change.

Yeah, they may fire the towel boy, maybe the DB coach. Yippee

It's going to go deeper than that.

It's going to go deeper than that.

I think we can all agree Bisaccia needs to go.

Depends on how the last four games play out. If things change and they look a lot better, regardless of record, I expect minor tweaks to the coaching staff.

If the same pattern happens, then heads will roll, except Garrett will be safe. In this case, he probably gets next season to change the team but another bad season.........he will be fired or moved into the FO(can't see Jerry flat out firing him).

I think Pollack is a goner. I wouldn't be surprised if the WR and secondary coaches are goners too.

Not sure what Jerry saw over the years to make him believe this coaching staff was capable of doing more with less. I didnt see it.

My guess is Linehan is gone. I don't see Rod getting canned when our offense has consistently not supported their efforts in the absence of Romo.

I didn't either. Like I said in another thread, Jerry waited till Romos window is close to closed to sober up

I think Jerry saying this publicly is throwing out the gauntlet to Garret to coach them up and win these last couple games without Romo or life will get very uncomfortable next year. I agree, I don't feel Garret will get fired but that doesn't mean he's remaining the little golden boy Jerry has offered him the last couple seasons.

I also agree with the above poster, it sucks Jerry waited to sober up at the end or near the end of Romo's window. But hopefully it's better late then never.

Like what?
Can he be stripped of anything else?

I know... Maybe we can make Garrett earn his Cowboys apparel? Like Parcells used to do with the players earning the star on their helmet?

Garrett can earn:

1. A Cowboys baseball cap with a "D"
2. A Cowboys baseball cap with a star on it
3. A Cowboys polo shirt with logo
4. A Cowboys sweatshirt with logo
5. A pair of Cowboys sweatpants

I read in one of my management books that you do not want to work for a nervous boss. And you definitely don't want to be the one making the boss nervous.

Jerry really put himself behind the eight ball when he signed Garrett to the long term contract last year. Jerry was bidding against no one for Garrett's services. Jerry could have offered Garrett a one or two year extension after last season. No team was offering Garrett squat. One fluke season clouded Jerry's judgement along with his friendship and liking Garrett. Jerry gifted that contract to Garrett. Jerry also made the same mistake with Linehan and thought he was better than he actually was. Turns out Romo was 95% of the tactical brains behind the coaching and Garrett and Linehan just rode his coattails.

I'm not sure what Jerry can do at this stage other than eat Garrett and Linehan's guaranteed contracts. Probably around $30M overall. Jerry has enough money to just write it off since he makes around $250-300M per year roughly from the Cowboys. Perhaps there are ways to make Garrett and Linehan unhappy enough to just leave. Maybe giving playcalling to someone else, stripping Garrett of time management during game time etc. Perhaps making someone an assistant head coach (wink wink) and treating that person like a head coach during meetings.

Maybe Jerry just wants to light a fire under the inept offensive coaches Garrett and Linehan have been this year. There has been no creativeness or ingenuity at all from the Cowboys for a long time. Ray Lewis said the Ravens knew exactly what the Cowboys would do several years ago. Bellicek even said this year that the Cowboys focus on execution and do nothing to make you guess. Been that way for years and years and has gotten worse under Garrett.

Garrett and Linehan went conservative and closed the playbook up when they should have opened the playbook up and got creative and played with a nothing-to-lose mentality.

Well, in all fairness to Jerry, Garrett was still in training during that period.

I feel the winds of change.

Sounds like he's drinking again. These thoughts are best kept internal. Throw a clock at Garrett just behind closed doors.

That's one reason I think JG isn't as safe as some think. Jerry fired a shot across the bow publically.

If Linehan goes..

that worries me that Garrett would take back the play calling.

Therefore.. I hope he stays.

Just trying to help here because this is the third thread. This was one I started yesterday with same quotes and up to 20 pages. Just cleaning up
