yup, we have to.Agreed. To me, firing Garrett and promoting Richard is a no-brainer. In fact, I wish they'd do it today.
lmaoGARRETT's LAST RIDE ON JJ'S JOHNSON...
I agree with all of this except......This team has finally taken on the demeanor of it's HC. No emotion. Flat. Uninspiring delivery. The talking points already mapped out before the media asks it's first question after another disappointing performance. Garrett refuses to accept responsibility-- why should any of his players?
The Eagle's HC guarantees a win to inspire his team-- JG keeps talking about getting a little bit better every day. Now-- they did come back from 3-5 last year-- so maybe they are circling the wagons internally and have a buzzsaw waiting for Philly on Sun night-- but I won't hold my breath. Man-- I just want a HC who has some balls and stands up for the franchise he represents. There are a lot of viable responses he could have given in response to Pedersen-- but the milk-toast, nice-guy schtick is literally the worst one IMO. Garrett may be a "motivator"-- but he falls far short of being a warrior. That is what this team needs right now-- some fire and passion-- someone to throw some tables and lockers around and not explain himself in trite little platitudes.
If this team comes out and lays an egg again with the division on the line-- then Garrett is done. He is already a lame duck coach and the players are simply not responding to him during games. The franchise will need a shakeup in order to have any shot of regaining it's competitive spirit.
Firing Garrett at the bye week and rolling with Richard as the interim HC does two things:
1. Holds JG accountable and gives the team a chance to come out of it's death spiral
2. Determine whether or not Richard is a capable HC to consider in the offseason.
I hadn’t thought of that but it would be typical of Jerry during bye week to squash the negative vibe around Garrett’s security by extending his contract.Won't happen, the Joneses haven't been doing anything but endorse this coaching staff since it started losing.
And didn't Garrett get this HC gig just as you're describing Richard getting it?
I started another thread saying the exact opposite of what you're stating here, which, btw, is good common football sense but when has that ever applied to the Cowboys? If they lose Sunday night and there's too much media chatter about Garrett's future, I am predicting they extend him during the bye. That also assures Booger of no one stealing his thunder just because they're not playing that week.
taught them what? How to get torched by a Jets passing game that struggles against air?Cowboys backfield coach Kris Richard how fast people forget what he brought to this team. We couldn't even hand off Crossing wide receivers at the end zone before he got here I'm not saying he's a great defensive coordinator but he taught this backfield so much especially this young rookie backfield
its a different vibe tho at this moment.This is historically the game that Garrett has the Cowboys coming out looking like champions. Right when you think Garrett is done, he goes into his closet and pulls out the pics, emails them to every player with a simple message. "Good luck on Sunday".
Well.. Garrett was a terrible coordinator too and he got promoted as head coach and here we are a decade later still scratching our heads as to why.
I guess it’s because he went out and beat those New York Football Giants.
I agree with all of this except......
Jerry talks about how if Garrett is fired, there will be a lineup of owners around the block wanting to hire him. I just don't believe Jerry is letting him go before year end. And that's only if they are REALLY bad between now and then
Which is certainly possible.
There is a psychological principle that basically says that once a person has pursued an erroneous way long enough— they continue down that path and justify it because to admit they were wrong and then try to go back and correct the error causes too much upheaval and dissonance.
Yep, Kraft would have a new job for those clapping hands.He's a top coach that would be highly sought after.............even belichick would be in danger of losing his job if Garrett became available.
