Jerry's great OC decision

[JD_KaPow]

The comment is pretty straightforward and correct. If Dallas has a season like KC just had but loses in OT in the playoffs, or if they have a season like NO just had, but loses in the playoffs the way NO did, you would obviously retain the staff.

It really means Moore will be the HC in a year and the cycle frustration will start all over again.

Garrett is an intelligent guy. I doubt that he is still insisting on the Air Coryell system that isn't working. I think Garrett wants to win more than he wants to be right.

I do think that he preaches beat the man across from you, but I doubt that he insists that no scheming be used, or that we call a play that has a low chance of success. He's just not that vain or stupid.

I really believe that this team has been held back offensively because of Linehans tendencies. I think he looks at the "genius" of the play call rather than common sense game management.

I think the only coryell concept the team has run over the last 4-5 years is in terminology, and I'm not even sure if that's accurate anymore (my understanding is there are 3 terminology techniques in the NFL - Coryell, Walsh and Erhardt-Perkins.

That said, I know we used to run more option routes than we do now, which developed way after Coryell (so I have no idea how those are called).

Offensive system is a function of what plays you will lean on for the year based on situation, skillset and opponent. They change year by year. I expect very different route combinations going into next year than we have seen in quite a few, but some of those that we run now are based on what they see with the team's capabilities.

The most interesting thing next year will be watching Garrett and Moore interact having no idea which is the scapegoater which is the scapegoatee.

 

[Risen Star]

What if we have seen this movie before? Does Jerry see Moore as the "Next Big Thing" and make him his next Head Coach in Training? Could explain some things? LOL Go Boyz.

Don't be a sucka MC, Dale.

If Jason Garrett does not get to the NFC championship game next year he and his whole staff will be fired.

You have nothing in recent history to base this on. Nothing.

JG has not been extended for a reason.

Your bourbon is tremendous, Basil.
I highly recommend it.

I didn't want Kellen Moore to be the offensive coordinator but as I think about it it was a great decision.

Jerry could not sign a hot shot offensive coordinator while Jason Garrett was a lame duck coach. If Jason Garrett does not get to the NFC championship game next year he and his whole staff will be fired.

Jerry did not want to get stuck having to pay an offensive coordinator 3 years after he's gone. So he decided that Jason Garrett deserved to have his offense for the last year his do-or-die year.

If the new oc does indeed become a hotshot, is it not advantageous that Garrett is a lame duck? Makes a promotion to hc all the more likely and easier.

 

[Dre11]

Sorry, but I don't see this as a "Jerry move", but instead a compromise between he and Garrett.

Jerry and Stephen wanted Linehan gone, while Garrett didn't. That's evident. When he was fired - yes fired - they had internal discussions over a replacement and new structure. Garrett got the staff he wanted, and in exchange, the Jones will not extend his deal unless there are results.

In other words, "we'll let you handle 2019 your way, but if it doesn't work, you and everybody else are out."

Think about the fact that within minutes of the new staff being unceremoniously "announced", word also came out that Garrett would not be extended. That's not mere coincidence. That's getting the word out, this was a compromise.

Nope.. Jason Garrett wanted Scott fired according to reports. Scott and Jason weren't getting along, Broaddus and Mickey talked about this, while being as cryptic as they could be on their show.

 

[Captain43Crash]

He simply had to promote Moore in order to prevent some other team from poaching this budding offensive genius. Jerry has spared us years of regret by acting aggressively and decisively to, once again, outwit and stay out in front of the rest of the league.

Sarcasm! I think it is.

You give Garrett WAY to much credit. Garett is Ivy League smart, not football smart. This is STUPID giving Garrett one more year. We know his ceiling, it won’t win us a Super Bowl.

Have not heard this theory and could not disagree more and if true, jg is a worst coach than I thought.

So the HC brought in a playbook in 07 when he was OC. Kept that playbook until 2014 and the new OC kept it, but this whole time the HC didn't want it anymore? It was Linehan who wanted it? So the HC wanted to scheme and the oc didn't so he let the oc over ride him? The HC did this? The HC knew the tendencies of the oc but just sat back and let the oc do what he wanted?

Again, I don't buy this at all, but if true, jg is a worst HC than I thought.

 

[75boyz]

Yep, make complete sense

It is "a great decision " by the owner of the most valuable sports franchise in the world to waste an entire season just to save a couple of million dollars

It actually could be considered genius in the twisted mind of how Jerry perceives success.

Makes sense to prep the next Garrett clone, puppett, coach in training or any other title holder you want to call it cuz it's still 1995 as far as He is concerned and 500 coaches could win a championship with the players Jerry gets...

I mean, right?

Has the man ever gotten over his PTSD type trauma of sleepless nights because Jimmy was credited for the success that he thought he deserved?

This ongoing 25 year cycle is just about to enter its post Garrett phase now and will see no more success than the mediocrity he's been trying to sell since Jimmy left.

This ain't real hard to grasp. A billionaire narcissist/control freak who will take his ball home if he cant play.

Now bow and kiss Coach Jones's ring.

sounds about right, it also gives JG back control of the offense.

so do we root for cowboys to win or lose next year??

[nalam]

I think there is some validity in this OP. There are some that believe we could have waved a magic wand and picked a better HC after all this time. Not sure that is a given. Since the HC is not assured of an extension he will have his finger prints all over this offense you can bet on that.

Like your signature. Lol

 

[lostar2009]

JJ needs to fire JG NOW! If he is thinking like this. Once again this organization is wasting players careers!!! Several years ago Dak and Zeke was rookies. Fast track now they are veterans. This needs to stop, just stop with this hiring friends mess! After watching that divisional game I realized coaching let us down again. Offense and defense (lack of adjustments). It's just sickening if you ask me.

 

[Asklesko]

Our new OC is our future HC. I commend the forward-thinking of Jerry Jones.

 

[StarBoyz83]

When did it end?
