Jimmy Johnson was HC from 89-93 , Garrett has been here 10 years

[Bob-Lillys-War]

The 1989 Cowboys went 1–15.
Johnson, however, did not take long to develop the Cowboys into a championship-quality team.

Johnson had an ability to find talent in the draft, make savvy trades (namely, the trade of Herschel Walker, which yielded six high draft picks and a number of players from the Minnesota Vikings), and by signing quality players as free agents in the age before the NFL had imposed a salary cap, such as Jay Novacek.


On the other hand, Jason Garrett has been here 10 years, with 8 years as HC and that has resulted in :

2 playoff berths ! in 8 years as HC !

Jimmy also had a sack and could think for himself. Garrett has been neutered by Jerry.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Jimmy didn't have a salary cap to deal with when he was in Dallas. Funny how Jimmy didn't do squat when he left to the Dolphins and a salary cap was in effect.

Garrett has a limited role in acquiring talent and even hiring his staff. Furthermore, Jimmy Johnson did not have to deal with a salary cap and the current free agent system.

Jimmy built that team. The current team is a "group" effort.

Jason should go if the Cowboys fail to make the playoffs but any comparison to Jimmy's circumstances would be blatantly unfair.

nobody else had a cap to deal with either. level playing field.

Jimmy also came in straight from being a coach in college so he had close connections to the players they would be recruiting....which was part of the reason cowboys at that time were so successful. And yes Garrett needs to go like yesterday.

Let’s trade Elliott for a dozen picks or so and see what happens.

 

[Batman1980]

I would love to trade Elliott for a ransom!

You are totally taking for granted all of the cool and inspiring slogans we’ve learned that even come printed on t-shirts.

Now think again and Imagine your fan life without that!!

Fight was one of my favorites!! Not too far behind was(I think) fight again? Or fight more?. Well, they’re too many good ones to list them all, but it goes on and on and on...

I'm not saying Garrett is a good coach or Johnson a bad one, but Mike Lynn had a lot to do our 90s dynasty. That was an insane trade. Still, it took a good football mind to take advantage of it.

I would be all for it , if we had a mind that could make the most of it ... but we have Kellen Moore's mind for a 'good' input <sigh>

It's very easy to look at an NFL franchise and determine how successful they are as a competitive football team. Garrett and his Cowboys teams have not been very good. The one playoff game they won was not without controversy and they are far from perennial contenders. Two playoff appearances in 10 years (counting 2010 and 2018) would get most HCs fired.

It's unnecessary to compare Garrett to other HCs. He is a failure and needs to be terminated.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

How did Jimmy do in Miami?

Made the playoffs 3 out of 4 years. Looks like Lombardi compared to JG. 2 playoffs in 9 years.

I'm ready for Garrett to be replaced; HOWEVER, comparing any coach against Jimmy is generally going to make the other coach look bad.

Jimmy 5 years, 2 Super Bowl wins.

Landry 29 years, 2 Super Bowl wins.

Belichick first 5 years as Head Coach, 36-44 win-loss record.
