What if you get your wish (Garrett)

[CouchCoach]

Lovie Smith also is from Texas, has been a 4-3, cover 2 defense all his coaching career, has a Super Bowl ring as DC, and took a team without a quarterback to the Super Bowl.

He should be able to get along with Booger.

 

[Verdict]

Jerry isn't paying a head coach.

Jerry could burn a wet down with 100 bills. He's not sweating the money.

 

[Verdict]

And Sean Lee.

Another good catch. You guys are on your game today.

 

[Verdict]

Since we’re fantasizing here (barring something like a 1-15 total collapse, Garrett will not be fired as long as Jerry has a say), I’d go with Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh — hands down.

Long career as a pro QB, a former pro coach with Super Bowl experience and, because of his college coaching career, he might be more able than the average coach to identify college players who would likely succeed in his pro system — a skill that would be invaluable on draft day or when assessing undrafted FAs.

I would be shocked if Jerry hired Michigan Harbaugh. He's too much of an egotistical ******* to ever coexist with Jerry.

John DeFilippo
Dan Campbell
Dave Toub

I think these might be the best 3 available guys. I like David Shaw but not sure he wants to leave Stanford.

Garrett was never vetted. Jerry brought him here as the oc with the clear intention of making him the hc. Stephen will do a much better job vetting the next hc.

Campbell? Maybe.

 

[Verdict]

Lovie Smith would be a poor choice. He is a down grade from Garrett.

 

[Cattle_Rancher]

Campbell? Maybe.

What is your problem with Campbell? He is thought of pretty highly got some interviews and was a finalist for I think the Titans job. I think he did a pretty good job as interim HC in Miami.

Kellen Moore, the next head coach of your Dallas Cowboys

he can learn on the job if need be.

It’d be part of “the process”
But can he clap?

Your opinion sounds very informative. Please list me the down grade of Lovie Smith versus the upgrade we have in Jason Garrett performance as Offensive Coordinator and then Head Coach.

How many Super Bowl rings did Garrett get as a coordinator and how many teams has Garrett as Head Coach taken to the Super Bowl?

DeFilippo is a guy to keep an eye on.

However, if we have to make a move after this season, it might be too early to jump on him.

 

[Sydla]

Lovie Smith would be a poor choice. He is a down grade from Garrett.

LOL.

He won 56% of his games in Chicago and went to two NFC Title games and one SB.

I won't tell you he's great but to suggest he's worse than Garrett is kind of funny. They probably both belong in the same pool.

 

[LittleD]

LMAO, you think that's the coaching? Remember Phillips asking to increase fines and being told no and some players had a "media pass"?

Somehow, I think Richards is not a Jerry yes man. He reminds me of a Jimmy I once knew long, long ago.

 

[G2]

I'm not a huge JG supporter. He's made game time mistakes. But when he's got a healthy QB his winning percentage is very good. We'll see whats happens this season with an improved defense.

Reality is that Garrett would have to post 3 years of losing records for Jerry to fire him. Garrett is so connected to Jerry Jones it is pretty much not going to happen while Jerry and Stephen are at the Head of the Dallas Cowboys organization.

Here are some reasons why you are going to be stuck with Garrett for a long long long time:

1. Jerry Jones brought Jason Garrett to be his Tom Landry coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
2. Stephen Jones wanted Jason Garrett to be his Tom Landry coach of the Dallas Cowboys and when Jason Garrett won the last game as interim HC in Philly, Stephen Jones was shown applauding and happy in the press box.
3. Jones is a family business and the Garrett family is family. All of Jim Garretts sons are and have worked in the Dallas Cowboys organization. Jason Garrett's brother Judd is and executive in the Dallas Cowboys front office.
4. Garrett is the only Jimmy Johnson tie loyal to Jerry Jones. When Jerry Jones purged the personnel department (fired Bob Ackles, John Wooten, and Gil Brandt from 1989-1992) to irk Jimmy Johnson, he kept Jim Garrett who had been a scout for the Cowboys since 1987. However, when Tuna came in 2002 he wanted Sean Payton as OC and QB coach because Garrett had no experience at neither position. Because of this Jerry had to wait for the Tuna to leave and his staff contracts expired.
5. Jerry Jones hired Jason Garrett before hiring Son of a Bum as HC and required Philiips to give Garrett the Asst. HC OC position while being paid a higher salary than Phillips the Head Coach.
6. Garrett is a smart connected to the Owner (understands the owner is Head Coach), the Owner's Son and whoever is the Cowboys QB. Jason Garrett bonds with QBs being a former NFL QB. Therefore it is hard to fire a HC you like that is coaching a QB you like. Garrett and Romo were and still are tight. Garrett and Aikman are tight. Romo and the Jones were tight. Garrett and Prescott are tight. Prescott and Jones family are tight (see him QB coach Stephen Jones son). Aikman and Jimmy Johnson are tight. So through Jason Garrett, Jerry Jones can always bring the connection to Jimmy Johnson's Cowboys 90's decade team.
7. Garrett has only one losing season as Head Coach of the Dallas Cowboys during his 7 year tenure. That fits Jerry Jones keep the Cowboys relevant motto.

So Jason Garrett will be fired by Jerry Jones grandson 15-20 years from now.

Lovie Smith would be a poor choice. He is a down grade from Garrett.

That's hard to imagine.

I just told you. I been saying Gruden for 10 years while everyone claimed he would never go back to coaching. But believe me, there 's someone out there better than Garrett. Won't be difficult to find. Like I said find a legitimate resume. Somewhere in the NFL someone worked their way up the ranks and can do a better job than this clown.

Like if people don't actually name someone a better coach doesn't exist? lol

Lol...Gruden will be a train wreck. The man was traded, won with Dungy's guys, and did nothing since

 

[BHendri5]

My wish is for everyone to leave Garrett alone and let him finish building this team

 

[Dre11]

It's very clear his point was that we've run this process for 7 full seasons. He's not saying change for change, he's saying change because this run hasn't resulted in any real success.

He hadn't presented any solution, so it was change for change sake. So if you changing with no solution you're changing to stay the same. What sense does that make.
