Serious question. I only want to hear from fans who think he should still be our coach.

Just reply “+1” to add your name.

Maybe tell us what you see in him?

Well...……...we definitely know IDGIT wants him here. Not sure if there is anyone else.

Yeah, but then you can have the pleasure of blasting the new coach whenever we don't win, if you so choose. :laugh:

Let's hope. The last coach I didn't like was Wade, but I even ended up defending him a lot of the time because, even though he wasn't a good head coach, he was a good guy and a really good coordinator. Unfortunately, just being moderate in a sports forum puts you in the minority most of the time when it goes down, no matter what the topic. :)

LOL.

There is no freaking way you typed this with a straight face. Because if you did, that's some of the most disingenuous BS I've read from you yet. Very few people who don't like Garrett are making excuses for the organization. In fact, most rip the team as much as they rip Garrett.

Because in the end, it's the Jones' who continue to keep Garrett employed. And it's the Jones' who get ripped here just like Garrett.

I did not type it with a straight face, no.

That doesn't mean there's not a ring of truth to it, though. Even if all you do is ***** about everything, all the time, you've still got a pecking order. I adjust my interpretation of everybody's relative priorities for the Cowboys based off of where I think they fit on the general whininess curve. Because believing everybody here hates everything, all the time, equally, makes it kind of hard to draw a meaningful distinction.

Hey look! A post about posters and not about football. From visionary, of all things.

I'm going to screen capture this rare creature so I can look at it later, because it's not often you see one in the wild like this.

Yes, methinks some people are just "playing devil's advocate" just to get a rise/response out of people and keep the conversation flowing.....lol....and age old strategy for writers and social media enthusiasts to garner more attention. Outrage and conflict sell more papers than everyone agreeing on an obvious point, right?.......there is NO WAY after a decade of incompetence, broken promises and failure that anyone could truly be in Garrett's corner.

Didn't we go through this back when Garrett couldn't possibly be extended? Right before he got $30M/6 years or whatever it was at the time? Before the 12-4 season or the 13-3 season and the NFL CotY campaign everybody wants to pretend never happened because it's somehow reasonable that we lost a playoff game to a comparable team because the coach and not the bad players we trotted out to defend Aaron Rodgers?

Do we really have to pretend it's actually been a decade of *coaching* incompetence here in Dallas? do we not care to remember how things were before Garrett was here? How those coaches fared? At what point is is reasonable to consider that maybe the issue isn't actually the coach and that changing coaches is fine and all if y'all are bored with the one we've got but not all that likely to address the actual problem?

I think some of you guys are willfully blind.

I just don't want to see his face ever say "claw and scratch" again. It's kind of creepy TBH.

There's barely a ring to truth to it. Very few people are openly defending the organization (front office, Jones boys) while railing on Garrett.

They are intertwined and most people are pretty clear on that.

I think trying to make the argument that you did is just another in a long line of deflections for Garrett. But I kind of expected that as this thing has progressed. With each passing season, each game where we struggle, it becomes harder and harder to defend Garrett's performance on the field. It's going to be interesting to see where some of you fall if this season, once again, is a non-playoff disappointment.

8-plus years and 1 playoff victory and you have the nerve to call anyone else "willfully blind"?

Comedy gold right there.
