The Solution: Make Jason Garrett the GM

[plasticman]

It would solve the criticism of Jerry making himself the GM.

It would solve the salary issues of Garrett's contract.

Garrett's input into personnel and his philosophy of the type of player needed is right on. His real issue has been game management and strategy. The Cowboys would be utilizing his strongest asserts while eliminating his negatives.

Garrett is familiar with a lot of good coaches around the league and in college. They would be willing to work with him.

Garrett has the family background and support for the job. His brother was the Cowboys Director of Pro Personnel and his dad was a 30 year scout in the league.

Stephen Jones would have a GM close to his age and who he is extremely familiar and comfortable with when the time comes.

Jerry could still have the ability to influence football decisions without it appearing so and without most of the media criticism.

Strange idea, I admit. However, in reality not much would change except the oppdortunity to get a really good coach willing to come to the Dallas Cowboys. The greatest impediment in the past has been the current GM.

I love spiked egg nog also.

 

[Direwolf63]

Not gonna happen, but thanks for trying.

And I hate my phone. How do you edit a title?

I hate egg nog, taste like soured milk like blue cheese, not palatable and simply bad cultures.

Give it to me straight no chaser, Carolina can throw down a few, with a Team Culture and a HEAD Coach.

Failed as QB coach, solution: let's make him OC

failed as OC, solution: let's make him HC

Failed as HC, solution: let's make him GM

I think the only solution is to make Garrett the team mascot and be done with it

Nah. There's always Head Clapper.

The last thing Jerry Jones is gonna do is removing himself as GM. Maybe Garrett could work in the FO, but not as GM. Jones would resent even him if team happened to have success.

jerry will never let any one be the gm until something happens to him he has had 20 years and the results are not very good I am not sure how good this team will be going forward personally I think the results next year will be the same as this year I don't think any one in the fo or the coaching staff have any idea what they are doing. I don't think the players are as good a we think they are I am just going to have a wait and see attitude and this will be my last post about he staff and the fo.

No worries we fix them...for free!

 

[big dog cowboy]

I don't think the players are as good a we think they are

Yes they are. Basically the same guys went 12-4 last year. We lost Romo and Dez and suddenly everyone seems to think we over rate our talent. I truly don't get it even though I read that multiple times every day.

At least he has some previous NFL experience, a huge upgrade over the previous GM.

In reality, nothing would change, except Jerry would be getting a lot of people off his butt, he could get Jason to do some of the more tedious operational stuff.

Most importantly, the position of Head Coach would open up. Jason Garrett has worked with lot of coaches, there would probably be no conflict between the two.

Let's not forget, Jason did take over a 1-7 team and went 5-3 despite Romo being out.
He did instill a culture of competition, you can't blame him for this debacle, I'm pretty sure he didn't write up a play that calls for Tony Romo to break his clavicle.....and call it two times in a season.

Jerruh is the GM until he dies. sad but true.

Real solution:

Make McClay the GM.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Great idea-won't happen.

Even though you're catching holy hell for the suggestion, I completely agree with you.

This keeps his strengths and negates his weaknesses. While the people who are saying "Jerry will never do this" are correct, the people who think Garrett would be a bad GM are just letting their hate cloud their judgement. Garrett's skill set screams GM. Great with operational stuff, great at instilling a team culture, great at talent acquisition. The guy just has an old offensive philosophy that just doesn't work in today's NFL.

This would let us get a HC that is more creative and better with in game clock management and adjustments while keeping Garrett's knack for behind the scenes stuff.

Sign me up.

All that said, yes. This will never happen.

Because all this talent shouldve been able to win more than 1 game without Romo

 

[lkelly]

If that's the solution, I'm unsure of what the problem actually is.

 

[InDakWeTrust]

The clapping would sure look good from the press box with Payton down on the field..

When he fails as GM, they'll make him team president . . . . . .

When he fails as team president, would they dare make him team owner?
