Ha Ha. You miss the point.
Why do you have to insult me? I know you not.
Sorry buddy, that was a joke
My apologies

Speaking of... Just saw this today. In addition to the infamous Ice Ice Bailey game, look at how Garrett totally botches this clock management after the Giants get down to the one. Jerry, Stephen and even Charlotte all realize we needed to call time out immediately... Everyone but Princeton Red. With those 14 seconds back, we might have gotten close enough to win. Instead we missed the playoffs and the Giants went on to win the Superbowl.He should have been fired after anyone of those 8-8 seasons. On top of that we lost 3 straight play-in games to each of our division rivals. I don't know how anybody could have survived that.
He is what he is.
After 10 years he’s not fooling anyone but the homers.
Next Landry they said....
There's a lot of homers who didn't think he'd win more games than any other coach in the NFC over the last three seasons. Especially doing it without a QB most would consider to be elite. 3 of 5 NFCE titles. NFL CotY. All with a team almost nobody would consider one of the most talented rosters in the conference up until this season.
At some point, people are going to have to wake up and recognize.
10 years I’ve recognized he’s not a championship coach and it doesn’t take championship caliber coaches 10 years after they get hired to win a championship.
After this many seasons what you see is what you get.As we near the 2019 season, hope for us Cowboys fans is high. And it is not unfounded. This year’s roster is loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. We may have the most talent we’ve had since the 90s.
We start 2019 with Jason Garrett entering his 9th full season as head coach of the Cowboys. Only 5 other current NFL head coaches have a longer tenure: Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh and Pete Carroll. All 5 of those HCs have won a Super Bowl. Garrett does have a decent record, at 77-59 and has won 3 NFC East divisional titles. But it’s the playoffs where he has struggled.
Jason Garrett has some strengths. There’s no way you can have a winning record as a HC over nearly a decade without having some strengths. IMO, here are Garrett’s strengths as a HC:
With those strengths also come his weaknesses. In fact, if Garrett cannot improve some of these areas of weakness, I believe we have probably seen all we will ever see from his teams. Here are his weaknesses:
- He motivates his teams to play hard. I’ve never seen a Garrett team just quit.
- He is a decent judge of talent. Garrett has to be given some credit for increasing the talent level here since he became HC.
- He has a consistent model of team processes. We laugh at his “process” but he is consistent with how he prepares his team, using most of the stuff used by Nick Saban.
- He does not make excuses. Unlike his boss, Garrett doesn’t blame injuries or make other excuses like blaming the refs for losses.
- He somehow manages to get decent results with the most meddlesome owner in sports.
As a whole, Jason Garrett is a better than average NFL HC, as his record indicates. But if we are going to ever see what we all hope as Cowboys fans- that we finally at least have another deep playoff run, then those consistent problems with adaptability, creativity and in-game management must change. Without those changes, we may have gone as far as we can with Garrett.
- A lack of adaptability. Garrett’s greatest weakness is his inability to adjust on the fly, either in game or even in season. This is what has killed us in the playoffs.
- Stubborn adherence to his schemes and philosophies, even when they don’t work. He will stick to a game plan or player even when it’s getting pummeled. (See Atlanta, 2017, or rams playoff game last year)
- He is a poor in game manager. We have seen this over and over since 2010. He consistently does not manage the clock, timeouts, or situational decisions well. This is another area that can absolutely kill you in the playoffs. (See GB playoff loss in 2016)
- He is not creative. Being creative with schemes and use of personnel is critical in today’s game. Because of the salary cap, talent margins among all teams is much thinner than in the 90s. Creativity is a major skill needed in today’s game.
Can Garrett improve in these areas? Your thoughts?
What hurts is that with the salary cap, the only way to get a competative advantage is with the coaching staff, yet we refuse to take advantage of this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!As we near the 2019 season, hope for us Cowboys fans is high.

Which of the teams prior to 2014 did you consider “championship teams” in terms of their rosters?
It doesn’t really matter.
I don’t consider the Eagles team with Nick Foles throwing passes to be a championship team but they did it anyways. Good coaches find a way. Garrett doesn’t have it.
A decade coaching with this team and not a single Super Bowl or even conference championship.
On top of all that.. He’s just boring. This is an entertainment sport and after 10 years he is just a buzzkill .
Can Garrett improve in these areas?
That’s where we disagree then. I considered that Eagles team the best team in the NFC in 2017. I believe Roseman did a phenomenal job improving a good roster that offseason, and they demonstrated they had the depth at QB when Foles came in and played almost as good for Pederson as he did in 2013 for Chip Kelly. I don’t believe a good coach can magic a roster to a Superbowl. Maybe a great coach can do it, but those guys come around every couple of generations, and they don’t hit the market.
I also believe the ‘not a single Superbowl’ mentality is what gets so many fans off on the completely wrong track about what building a championship team is all about. You get there by consistently doing almost everything right...and then by getting a little bit of luck. It doesn’t just happen automatically when enough time elapses because of the color of the laundry or the expectation of the fans. This organization hasn’t been doing enough things right as a whole in the period since Jimmy was fired. It goes way beyond coaching. They’ve improved in that regard a lot in recent years and under Garrett. I honestly don’t understand how so many fans fail to get it.
He’s won 2 playoff games in 10 years.
Please save the big picture stuff. 10 years is a big enough picture. He’s not a championship coach. 10 years proves that.
It doesn’t take this league now days to build championship teams. He’s just not good enough.
The standard of this team couldn’t be any lower at this point if 10 years of this is acceptable.
Winning in the post season is all that matters and we don’t do it nearly enough and this coach has had 10 years which is a lifetime in NFL years.
He’s not a championship caliber coach and he needs to be removed after he fails to do anything again this year.
Time has exposed him. Maybe he’d be a great hire for the Bengals but Dallas needs to do better.
Why would I save the big picture stuff?!? The big picture stuff is what matters.
We both know for a fact the Cowboys teams from 2010-2013 were not remotely close to talented enough to win an NFL championship. Expecting any HC to win a title those seasons is foolishness. From 2014 on we’ve had a contending team. Three division titles. Two different staring QBs. Most wins in the NFC since Dak took over...Dak, who most of us admit is not really an elite QB. An NFL CotY award. And probably his best team yet heading into 2019. Time hasn’t exposed Jason Garrett. Time has proven he actually knows what he’s doing.
