If Cowboys lose tomorrow night Jerry should follow Panthers path

[Super_Kazuya]

By firing their HC now to give life and spark the team.

Tough decision made by Panthers owner over a former SB coach and NFL coach of the year.

But as owner you’re always looking for that spark once you sense the coaches fate after the season.

They moved on from Rivera for coaching search reasons, not to provide a “spark”. The Cowboys are probably not much better than the Panthers but due to good fortune they aren’t in white flag waving position yet.

Predicted on silly excuse making and blindness

it has been obvious for years that Garrett is trash and you guys continued to support him

can’t get rid of that stench now, sorry

I supported him because believed he was the best puppet. His Game Day coaching abilities were never his greatest asset to this dysfunctional organization.

And until we bring in a greater HC or Jerry aborts his selfish egotistical ways it’s still left to be determined if the next puppet will be better.

But at this point once a HC is a Lame Duck you must move on. Too toxic environment for success.

Your love for the horrid Garrett is what needs to be called out.

My support of Garrett has been misunderstood by some. Those who have been following me for years have a clearer understanding the root of my support which is based on the fact I’ve had little hope a better solution was possible.

And I’m still not sold firing Garrett will resolve our issues until Jerry is willing to step away.

But this situation is different. It’s become too toxic knowing Garrett is now gone and is not in the best interest for success the remainder of this season.

There's honestly not a huge difference. The team can do one of two things:
1. Fire Garrett now, then go with an interim coach till the end of a season. Then hire the permanent coach.
2. Keep Garrett till the end of the season, then fire him. Then hire the permanent coach.

It's really not all that different. I guess you could call the third option just keeping Garrett, but I don't think anyone really wants that.

It’s amusing to me that there is momentum to fire Garrett but they don’t want it now? Lol

My point is that it's really not that much different either way. I really don't care if Jones does it now or at the end of the season. What I care about is that he hires someone good and gets out of his way and lets him coach. I have my doubts that Jones will do that.

I think he and his sorry football culture should have been fired after the Vikings loss.

 

[ondaedg]

He won’t do it till we are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs and the egirls are worse than us. I was giving JG a chance (because we have no choice) but was done after Thanksgiving. Maybe a interim HC like Richard may help, but could sent a early message to the team that the FO has given up on the season.

I dont think the players would view it that way. If anything they would view it as the front office trying anything to light a spark.

I’m not sure why there’s hope Jerry will get out the way?

I’m not sure what’s worse? No hope or false hope?

No, that's not what I think he will do. It's what I think he should do. He did it for a while when he hired Parcells, but then his meddling ways crept back. I'm more in the camp of little hope.

 

[stiletto]

Should have happened 5 years ago, 5 days ago, 5 mins ago but it won't at least until the end of the season and who knows even then at this point. Jerry is a maniac.

I agree with the notion that Jerry is afraid of Kris Richard having success. He hasn't done a good job this year either, but if he goes 3-1 and wins a playoff game, Jerry could get himself wedged into an ugly situation if he doesn't hire him as head coach.

It doesn’t have to be Richards. He could name Rod interim . He’s prob going to retire after the season.

I don’t think it’s as critical who we name as interim as it is replacing Garrett.

 

[Diehardblues]

I think for Jerry he still has hope Jason can save his job cause he thinks he has enough talent and could somehow come together.

But it’s too toxic atmosphere for success.

 

[glimmerman]

Maybe Jerry doesn't have a choice but to let it play out with Garrett. It's possible they approached a couple of coaches about replacing Garrett and got a flat rejection. Think about it, coaches are a close-knit group. Jerry's been calling out lately and quite frankly there's nothing to gain from replacing Garrett this late if you're assistance coach. In other words, Jerry may have burned the bridge for any assistance replacing Garrett.

BTW....just me but sure appears Garrett has already checked out and can't wait for the season to end. Hell, go back a watch his last couple pressers and tell me if he sounds like a coach with the playoff on the table trying to motivate/fire up his troops after a couple of tough losses.

He is done and he knows it. It can’t be a easy job. I think the team had given up on him. Maybe because JJ has said to much. And hasn’t exactly helped.

The Panthers actually made a good choice IMO. They fired there headcoach now instead of waiting until the end of the season. So now they can agree, in principle, with another coach before the pickings get slim.

They can have their new coach on board before the end of the calendar year. Giving him time to scout the current players and prepare for the offseason. Not to mention he can start calling around and penciling in a make shift staff.

that was my view since the buffalo game.
They need to try and get the SF DC, I think that would be the best choice,
be ready as soon as they can interview him do it.
The way the jones boys will do it, they wont interview anyone till cowboys are done, and that is too late.

And they can’t interview any of the asst coaches until their teams season is finished which for SF could be in February.

There's no guarantee firing JG would spark the team. It would definitely spark the fan base.

Weird thing is, even at 6-7 the Cowboys would still hold first in the East even if Philly wins Monday. I suspect Jerry would stick with JG, at least for another week.

Of course there’s still uncertainty but at some point you cant continue down the same path if it’s spiraling down. We’ll have a better sense tomorrow night.

We only need to win one of these next two games. Or will be very difficult to have any confidence heading to Philly.

you don’t support an incompetent puppet

you call him out

fact is, that is just a convenient excuse Garrett apologists have used for the last 6-7 years while the mediocrity continued

You guys are gonna have to wear the stench of that support
