One oddsmaker has Jason Garrett as ninth-most likely to be first head coach fired

[zekecowboy]

Opening odds to be the first NFL head coach fired (@betway):

Hue Jackson +350
Adam Gase +750
Marvin Lewis +1000
Vance Joseph +1000
Dirk Koetter +1200
Jay Gruden +1200
Todd Bowles +1600
Bill O'Brien +2000
Jason Garrett +2500
John Harbaugh +2800
Jon Gruden +2800
Pete Carroll +2800

These aren’t exactly good odds that Garrett will be the first head coach fired, but they are the ninth-most. Dallas isn’t necessarily predicted to be a powerhouse this season either, but it’s worth noting that they are in the top half of the NFL when it comes to projected odds to win the Super Bowl as well.

Odds to win Super Bowl 53:

Patriots+650
Eagles+850
Steelers+1000
Rams/Vikings +1100
Packers+1400
Saints/Texans +1800
49ers/Falcons +2000
Chargers/Jaguars +2200
Raiders+2800
Chiefs+3000
Giants/Cowboys +3300
Panthers+3500
Broncos+4000
Titans+4500
Ravens/Lions +5500

It feels like Garrett is going to need to win, at the very least, a playoff game (or two) and/or reach the NFC Championship Game for perception around him to be that he shouldn’t be fired. The road is going to be difficult considering he shares a division with the reigning world champion Philadelphia Eagles, although the Cowboys do have the second-best odds at winning the NFC East.

Jason Garrett has been given a lot of time to make his mark with the Dallas Cowboys. A season without Jason Witten and Dez Bryant will focus on his face as one of the more seasoned on the sidelines. Can he pull it off, or do these odds have a point?

Seasons change, mountains crumbled, nations fall, and Jason Garrett is still the coach of the Dallas Cowboys. I'm convinced that when nuclear war strikes, all that will remain are cockroaches and Jason Garrett, standing on the sidelines on what remains of JerryWorld

How do we arrive at Cowboys should win a playoff when we aren’t picked to win division and most have us anywhere from 6th - 10th in conference with Vegas odds of 8 1/2 wins O/U??

Even if we optimized predictions and got in as 6th seed we wouldn’t be favored to win.

In these odds you provided we’re tied with NY for 8th in NFC. How is anyone associated with this production predicting us to win a playoff game much less make the playoffs?

And you know he'll be clapping. lol

 

[Aviano90]

7 more years and he may be top 3 most likely coaches to be fired.

 

[Roadtrip635]

He may be only the 9th most likely to get fired, but he's still #1 in our hearts!

 

[Diehardblues]

I think the odds provided are much in line with others I’ve seen.

Cowboys look to be in the bunch I’d call best of the rest after playoff teams.

That said I think we can still battle for a WC and could come down to Week 17. I don’t have any expectations going in we should make playoffs or win a playoff game but those expectations could change as season unfolds.

And I seriously doubt based on all of these odds going in there any ultimatums that we must make the playoffs or win a playoff game for Garrett to keep his job. This is just rhetoric coming from frustrated Cowboy fans who’ve understandably lost patience.

where's the post police out. "how many Garrett fire threads do we need whiners."... lmao...

3 2 1.........

I just don't understand it. He just posted his first back to back winning seasons.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Wont happen until at least 2020. Even then I wouldnt expect it to happen.

On the flip side, Vegas gave The Clapping Carrot the best odds of wearing a Bat Utility Belt whilst taking into a dead mic.

Alright, I’ll bite...let’s look at Garrets career with the Cowboys.

2010 (5-3)- took over for Phillips half way through the season, Romo got hurt about a month later and Kitna became the starting QB

2011 (8-8)- final game of the season against the Gnats for a playoff spot we lose 31-14; Giants go on to win Super Bowl

2012 (8-8)- final game of the season against the Skins for a playoff spot we lose 28-18; Romo completed a whopping 20 for 37 and added 3 INT’s, one of which came on the final drive that would have given us the lead with little time left but led to another Skins TD to seal the victory

2013 (8-8)- final game of season against Eagles for a playoff spot we lose 24-22; Romo had back surgery the week before which made Orton the starting QB for this game

2014 (12-4)- made it to 2nd round of playoffs against GB and lose 26-21 to one of the GOAT QB’s and on a non catch that many people blame for our loss

2015 (4-12)- Weeden and Cassle take over after Romo goes out after a week 2 win; we lose every game until Romo comes back and we still have a chance at winning the division. Romo wins first game back and throws 3 INT’s the following week 2 of which were pick 6’s thus sealing our non playoff fate. IIRC Eomo reinjured himself in that game

2016 (13-3)- made it to the playoffs and lost to GB and one of the GOAT QB’s by a last second 50+ yard FG; Romo was hurt in the pre season and this was accomplished with a rookie QB and rookie RB, it also was Romo’s last year in the NFL

2017 (9-7)- not much to note besides the FO letting our entire secondary walk and Zeke’s 6 game suspension which many people blame Dak’s setback and us missing the playoffs on

Sooooooo...I’m an unapologetic JG supporter until the end of this season barring any major “incidents” and assuming we make the playoffs. You can argue all you want about his lack of playoff success but if you read above you’ll see that there were some very unfortunate circumstances that led to that and he put us in positions to get there.

Kyle Orton in week 17 to get in the playoffs and we still only lost by 2?
Romo throwing 3 picks in a game to get in the playoffs and not even completing 50% of his passes?
Losing to a SB winner to get in the playoffs his first full year as HC?
“The catch”?
Weeden and Cassle?

Gimme a break, there’s probably only one or two coaches in the league that could work around that and produce playoff success under those circumstances and even that’s questionable. JG isn’t great but I don’t think he’s nearly as bad as most of you make him seem and until recently this team was rather thin oor had major holes on one side of the ball or the other.

I can’t wait to see how many alerts have tomorrow morning. Peace out!

P.S for all those who say “he wasted Romo’s career”. Looks like fragile Tony being hurt in three of those seasons had A LOT to do with us missing the playoffs and another he was directly responsible for with a piss poor performance, making that a grand total of 4 years not including the year Dak took over.

I think some of our fans would gladly take 2-14 this season if it got Garrett fired, even without knowing who Jerry would hire next.

And they might be surprised and disappointed with next guy.

And they might be surprised and disappointed with next guy.

They'll get all excited about "hot" young coordinators and big name college coaches, only to see Jerry hire someone like Marty Mornhinweg.

Whatever it takes to get off this train of mediocrity.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

Isn't that kind of a weird bet to make? Like you are either betting on the rare in-season firing (not going to happen) or you are betting that Jerry gets out of bed earlier than anyone else on Black Monday.

 

[Techsass]

Slightly off topic, but I think it's kind of funny that Jon Gruden is already in the top ten to get canned. OK so #11. Isn't he guaranteed something like a billion dollars?

 

[The Fonz]

if u fire Jason Garrett and keep JJ and his sons it won't matter .
