It's not Garrett's fault

[DogFace]

You mean you’ve never seen Garrett go talk to a position group when they play like **** ala Belicheck/Tomlin/etc? Lol that’ll be the day. He’s probably too scared that a player will bark back at him and he wouldn’t have some Ivey league cliche response in a moment where that garbage doesn’t matter.

Don’t know why I’ve never even thought of it, but yeah, you’re so right. He just doesn’t do that. I imagine he’d look very out of place if he tried.

I have my doubts Garrett will get the boot at the end of the season unless this team just gives up as a whole in monumental fashion.

I can totally see him being kept on for another season and Jerry explaining on the Ticket that 2017 was stacked against Garrett due injuries and suspension.

I maintain that Garrett’s family schtick of fundamentals, one-line mantras (e.g. “FIGHT”) and incessant clapping and arse slapping fits the college game where young men are looking for leadership, guidance and principles.

I thought this was going to include a meme from the movie Good Will Hunting. "Its not your fault."

I think this is more fitting

People have been making excuses for this guy for a decade...

No one respects JG's coaching.....no one.

ignoring comments from interviews in regards Garrett's coaching I guess is a method.
It's not considered sound opinion but thats par around here

 

[cowboyblue22]

So many unhappy fans; so many fans who will be unhappy for a long, long time unless they move to another team......because it's clear that Jason Garrett isn't going anywhere. If you think there's even a 10% chance he'll be fired this offseason, you're delusional. You don't have to like it, but you do have to live with it or move on. Jerry Jones is the owner and gm; Jason Garrett is the head coach. Period!

they keep losing and fans will move on and so will sponsors when it effects jeds bottom line he will make different deceisions

 

[JW82]

So in other words, its not Garrett's fault he sucks?

Lol this is year 7 as a head coach and he has no idea how to manage a clock or make a halftime adjustment. But he makes Jerry happy and thats all that matters. Certianly winning means nothing to JJ.

And what are you trying to do make me slit my own throat? Sadly I agree with you. This really is the twilight zone.

Romo, Witten, Ware, Lee, Dez, Smith all careers wasted. Now we are moving onto the Dak, Zeke, Martin, Ferderick careers being pissed away. Jerry and Garrett are killing multiple era's here.

and JG is......Jethro?

Agree all around.

I think the most likely outcome here will be some staff changes below Garrett and that the Jones' will basically provide cover for Garrett - injuries, suspensions, etc.

 

[MileyDancer]

I don’t know why I’ve never thought of that. Probably because I’m perpetually drunk during the game.

You, sir, are doing it right.

 

[DogFace]

You, sir, are doing it right.

Finally I get the recognition I’ve worked hard for and clearly deserve.

That means a lot. Thank you.

You forgot he's been to the NFC Championship Game 2x and won a Super Bowl, I can understand someone with those credentials getting a pass on three 7-9 seasons.

That's not what the OP is saying at all.

Are you telling me if Jerry Jones offered you millions of dollars to be the offensive coordinator and then HC for the Dallas Cowboys you wouldn't take it?

I can't act a lick, but if I was offered millions of dollars and the leading man role opposite Gal Gadot and we got to make-out or something Bob Lilly and the Manster couldn't stop me from signing my name.

And this is coming from someone that has been hating on Garrett since he screwed Sparano.

It's not Garrett's fault

Its Jerry's for hiring him in the first place and then clinging to him like a dog with a bone. Garrett is the ultimate highway to no where.

quoted the wrong post, nvm

 

[yimyammer]

Pederson has way more skins on the wall than Garrett. He spent 8 years under Andy Reid in Philly and at KC. He was OC for 3 years in KC. And he had to make Alex Smith viable, who is not bad but I don't think he's the answer in KC. But they had won with him for 4 straight years before Pederson went to Philly.

It's still way more experience than Garrett.

I was searching for an old post and saw one you wrote in 2011 that seems relevant and pretty accurate:

Here is my problem with the move, besides Garrett's lack of expience which really bothers me . . . I could fill up a whole page talking about that, but let's stick with the topic . . . .

Jerry the GM will interview one or two candidates just to save some face with the NFL (or the Rooney rule). Then he'll anoint Garrett head coach without doing any due diligence. This is a recipe for failure. I mean at least give Gruden, Harbaugh, Fisher, Holmgren, Rivera, Chudzinski, Nolan, Capers, etc. a shot. How do you know if Garrett is the best if you don't interview anyone else? You are just assuming at this point. Maybe one of those retreads has a lot of great ideas for this team that will benefit in the future. As much as some hated Parcells, he did do a lot of good things here and there were a lot of benefits having him here. If not we may have wallowed through a long string of 5-11 seasons. But you never know if one of these guys will shine if you never bring them in and Jerry puts every candidate through a proper process . . . even Garrett.

I would be fine promoting Garrett if Jerry interviews 10 or 12 guys (including Garrett in a formal interview) and at the end of the day he comes back with Garrett on top. That means he put his best foot forward and looked at all options. That would mean he looked at every detail and really figured out what's best for the team. But if he just interviews one or two token guys and just promotes Red, then that's stupidity beyond stupidity. It's that lack of attention to detail from management that has this team wallowing in mediocrity year after year.

On top of it all, for all those not wanting a retread head coach, when you really look at it, who do you think Garret is? He's a guy that Jerry feels comfortable with so the same old same old can continue with the Cowboys. Why bring in someone like a Gruden or even a Harbaugh who may shake up the existing culture at Valley Ranch? Because anyone else will bring in a new system, and we can't have that. We'll just keep reeling in the same old guys . . . the only difference between Garrett and a Campo or Switzer is that he was a player. Some articles say he was a player/coach when he was backup QB here. And Garrett and his family is deeply entrenched in Valley Ranch. Bottom line is Garrett is really just another retread from the past disgused as a new young coach. It's really the same old system that has not worked for the past decade. Don't give me this discipline/attention to detail/he wasn't here the whole time garbage. He's from the same system whether you want to admit it or not. And you can bet you bottom dollar that most of the existing coaching staff will stay in tact, even though the defense looks putrid and Garrett could use a play caller. It will be the same old thing, just in a different wrapping.

Then if this team implodes for the next 2-3 seasons, the same people who think Garrett will be next Lombardi or Walsh will want his head on a platter and thrown out of Dallas. But in reality it will be the dysfunction of management and the process that's at fault, not Garrett. It will be Jerry Jone's fault for not paying attention to detail, bringing in as many candidates as possible, and following a proper interview process instead of just hiring the "family guy." It will be Jerry's fault for not overhauling the staff after such a piss-poor year. If Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, yet expecting different results, then Jerry Jones is totally insane. He keeps doing the same things over and over. We'll probably see more medocrity and more of the same garbage for years to come. I hope not, but Jerry Jones gives little reason to believe anything will change. And Garrett will be the fall guy when Jerry is really at fault . . . .

:bang2:

I will reserve my judgement on this one until a name is offically announced. Maybe Jerry will surprise all and interview a lot of candidates. Maybe he will do this the right way. Make Garrett interview for the job the way it should be done. And if he ends up on top, then Garrett should be the guy. I would be fine if it went down that way. But a pedestrian 4-4 record plus the fact that he was part of this mess to begin with should not make Red a shoe in to get this job. Garrett should not be given a free pass. He should go through the interview process just like every other guy, and Jerry should bring in a lot of "other guys". Maybe Jerry will do this right. I have my serious doubts though.

Garrett represented the last dying breath of the homer in me and now that's pretty much gone, Dak revived it a bit but he cant do it by himself, blah, blah, blah..... All jeri does is rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic so even if Garrett is replaced, we'll likely see more of the same

hope is virtually dead
