Garrett Locker Room speech after Browns win

Sweet. JG is starting to grow on me. Now if he can man up against Tomlin....

It's because he's winning. The best coaches win the most, by definition.

I agree. I don't get the fascination with him. He's managed to keep the team competitive post-LeBeau longer than I thought he would, but he's still overrated.
 
Feel bad for Romo having to deal with Garrett learning on the job and now that Jason is showing great growth, Tony might be out of a job.

Here we see him, charging his solar batteries in 'relaxed' mode, getting ready for the big preseason press conference.

Perhaps that is what we were waiting for.

The appropriate upgrade.

It may have happened.

I'd love to know what metric you guys are using to determine that Tomlin is overrated. Considering he's coached them for 10 years, been to the playoffs 6 times, played in the SuperBowl twice and won the SB once. Or do wins not matter when talking about how good a coach is in this case?

Is it because his team lost to the Ravens last week?

I don't have a really metric for it. I thought Cowher was overrated, too, though. Because Dick Lebeau was one of the all time greats in my book. I don't think either were bad coaches, mind you. Just overrated.

Both those guys benefitted greatly from great defenses and a very stable organization in general. Tomlin's always had great QB play, too. To his credit, when I thought they were declining back in 2012 or so, he put that WR corps back together and turned things around for him.

I was thinking the same thing. Garrett spent several of Romo's good years floundering, trying to be the play-caller and the head coach. Then, in Linehan's first year, Dallas figured out the formula it needed to follow to go 12-4 and be a contender in the playoffs. The plan was to follow the same formula last year but then we had Romo's setback.

This has been the main negative of Garrett's ascension. He didn't get to spend enough time first as an offensive coordinator to figure out either how to do it or that he didn't need to do it. So we ended up being out of balance while he tried to figure that out, putting too much on Romo and not understanding that a strong running game helps out both the passer and the defense.

It's a shame that we have wasted all those years when Romo was one of the few reasons we had any success.
