Why do people still love Richard?

Aside from being a guy that yells and brings energy what does Richard bring? Carroll fired him and the current secondary gets very few picks and Chido has regressed.

He calls the defense so it can’t be ALL Rod’s fault. And I doubt if he’s calling the defense he hates everything about it. The defense rarely blitzes so where’s this aggressive nature?

Parcells called the defense with Zimmer when they went from 4-3 to 3-4 because Zimmer didn’t agree with the 3-4 but realized it was a good learning experience to learn the nuances of a different scheme so he stayed on to game plan.

Richard isnt rocking the boat. Hence the Hill pick. Look at the Seattle d line compared to ours. Richard in no way likes what he is dealing with with Marinelli but the old man commands respect. I believe would see a completely different defense and draft strategy under Richard.

Thats obviously just my opinion.

I just know Richard had a solid reputation with the legion of boom including getting the most out of Byron Maxwell. Maranelli comes from a more outdated culture and he coaches like it.

But I’m gonna be consistent here. If I’m going to fault Garrett for the offense even though Moore is the OC? Same applies to the defense. It’s Maranelli until proven otherwise.

Exactly and Richards biggest fault is not playing Lewis more but even with that I don’t know if that’s him or Maranelli. Maranelli seems to have some say in personnel on every level of the defense.

I just posted earlier and a different thread wondering if he is being handcuffed by Marinelli and the head coach? The guy had a lot of success it's just mind-blowing that he would go to crap that fast

I actually believe Rod has taken back call playing the past couple of games. He looked like he was calling the D the past couple of weeks.

Good question. The one notable positive change is him moving Jones from S to CB. Outside of that its hard to determine particularly with Marinelli still in the room.

What do you all think the reason was that Seattle let him go?

He's been here 2 years and is not the DC. Hard to blame him for the issues here. I don't care who is calling plays. If you want to blame the guy then give him the coordinator job and see what he does with it cause Marinellis D consistently sucks and never creates turnovers. Sure would be nice to see a fresh start on that side of the ball. These are the cards he was dealt coming in. A DC who doesn't value the DT or safety position exactly the things that been killing them long before Richard got here.

I just want you guys to remember one very important thing.

Anyone who coaches under Jerry Jones is put in a position to fail.

This undeniable truth can not be dismissed simply because you're tired of hearing it.
We’re not tired of hearing it. I want to hear it as I wake every morning.

But...Jerry isn’t going anywhere so it doesn’t help me much.

Dallas (i.e.: Jones) needs to get away from these freakin' shared roles....Garrett NEVER stays away from the offense (as seen by the stupid scripted starts for the offense) and Marinelli is the DC but Richard is the in-game coordinator or whatever it is called?

Geez, just dump Marinelli and make Richard the DC....just dump Garrett and let Moore run the offense under a new HC

the Bill Belichick model works the best. One guy for the team to answer to. Not a 'shared deal." Football players are creatures of habit and need a stand alone DC/HC/OC...not a group of coaches that share the load.

Coordinator is just preparing game plan. The play caller is the one who executes the game plan. Usually they are the same person but not here.

Marinelli is not teaching Chidos technique. Marinelli is not the reason CBs never look for the ball. Marinelli is not the reason DBs play 7 yards off on 3rd and 2.

Richard is another typical example of fans drinking the Kool Aid waaaaay too soon. After one season people were screaming for him to be the next HC. Moore was the HC in waiting after the first three games.

It’s no different than the typical over reaction after we draft a player in the first round before he even takes a snap in the NFL or after we blowout a few of the worst teams in the league or after we barely lose to a good team.

This fan base is notorious for over exaggerating things with such small sample sizes or none at all and the minority who don’t jump on board are criticized and accused of not being fans.

Can’t tell you how much flak I caught on draft day for not being overly ecstatic about the Taco pick or saying that I didn’t think Richard was all that after one season or telling people to be cautious about this team after they beat three of the worst teams in the league.

I get passion, optimism and pessimism but it’s one extreme or the other around here.

But he is the reason the D line is garbage.. as usual. That plays a big part in what your secondary is doing or is capable of doing. This is like blaming the TE coach when they can't run the football. lol If you want to blame Richrd, give him full control. Right now this mess is Marinelli's fault. And Garretts.
