This board was right on Linehan

[Verdict]

It seems like when this board gets a strong concensus we are usually right as a group. Linehan obviously was universally hated by most on this board. He is gone and it appears we were right again.

It wasn't just this board. There was pretty regular and universal condemnation from Linehan in the media and from former players that were in his system. This extended all the way to the booth announcers during the games he coached.

His previous coaching stops didn't seem to think that much of him either. Detroit fans hated him while he was there and constantly said they felt he used Megatron as a crutch.

Honestly, about the only people that seemed to support Linehan was the Cowboys front office.

Linehan's biggest supporter was Garrett.

Everytime other coaches dissented with him, they soon went on chopping block.

If it were allowed, I can bring up the names and posts of several posters that like to try to tell people like they know something who constantly defended Linehan. Now? Not a peep! Like it never happened. We all make mistakes, but some can own up to them while some can't.

If you want a fun exercise take a trip down memory lane and find out who said what.

Yeah I think everyone was saying he needed to go.

 

[mardwin]

His offensive play-calling became too predictable and stagnant. He overused Zeke to an extent that was pathetic, he missed an opportunity to leveraged Dak's ability to run the football and better exploit the RPO concept. Moore seems to have a better understanding of what to do to keep the defense honest. I don't recall Dak taking so many deep shots so early in the season and a lot of that has to do with aggressive play calling.

Garrett publicly supports everyone. Privately is a different story.

 

[Lutonio]

I never understood the notion of correct and incorrect on this. Just watch the games. You could see that the offense wasn't creative or aggressive, and the routes were basic and repetitive.

Linehan had a bland and predictable offense. The Pope is Catholic.

Cool story!

Sounds like all day, every day, with every thread in CowboysZone.

We will be right about Marinelli and Garrett as well.

People tend to oversimplify things when it fits their agenda....

Please, please, please, do.

People don’t feel shame when they’re blatantly wrong these days. Shame is a community’s natural way of helping them learn and or shutting them up so we don’t have to hear from them as much.

Over enough time everything becomes clearer. It did to the Cowboys as well, although maybe a year later than it should have.

Get me permission from the folks in charge and I'd be glad too. They know who they are. And yet they still talk like they know stuff.
