Aside from 2 good years (2011 with Detroit and 2016 with us) and another good performance on paper in 2003 with the Viks with allot of talent at least until you look a their W/L record 9-7 no play offs. Out of 16 years in the NFL he is below average at best, he has 44% w/L record as a coach or OC. He is rated as one of the worst Head Coaches in history while at LA (fired in the 4th game of his 4th season).

If our Offense has no creativity and cant move the ball effectively tonight against the Giants I say its time to cut him loose (Fire him). IMO

And what if we show life giving him a reprieve tonight but end up average again?

Don't know who is out there for a replacement OC but that could be for another thread.

Most likely Garret and linehan are tied to Prescott who is just good enough to keep hope alive and come up short. Will Stephen actually fire these coaches at years end?

You've seen anything from Scott Linehan since the Atlanta game last year that would make you think Linehan is the right man for the job?
No. But judging the results of an NFL season after one game is crazy. Do I have confidence in Linehan? No. But do I know how this season will play out? No again.

Historically bad 9 game offensive stretch, we'd have to see a run like the 2016 season to save his job most likely. 3 problems with that - Dak is jittery now, our offensive talent is less and our OL is dinged up.

Last week I thought our play calling was too creative in 1st Q. We were backed up and trying stuff that didn't belong in that position. I blamed it on peer pressure...

If anything is going to happen I don’t believe it will happen before the bye.

As in bye, bye Scott Linehan?!

How in the hell is any OC going to look good with a QB that can't execute plays? Dak is not being coached to be inaccurate or hold the ball too long. Dak is a coach killer.

If the offense doesn’t get righted, and the Cowboys suffer another no-playoffs season, who do you think takes the fall — Garrett or Linehan?

If you’ve been paying attention since 2010, the answer should be obvious.
