I really thought Jerry would fire Jason Friday

[Sydla]

Some people are trying to spin this as Jerry having some master plan here where he is letting Garrett carry out the year while they negotiate behind the scenes with other coaches.

That's not what is happening. Jerry can't quit Jason. He just can't. He still thinks given the crappy state of the NFC East that Jason will somehow spit out a win against Philly in two weeks, salvage the division and maybe go on a run. That's what he hopes. He's too emotionally invested in Garrett and that has cost the Cowboys a decade of Cowboys football.

Oh, sure, maybe they talked to Meyer but I suspect that was under the pretenses of we might need a coach. I still think Jerry is hoping that gets to hold a press conference in January saying because Jason made the NFC Champ game, he's shown the progress he needed to and we signed him to a new 5 year extension.

 

[Sydla]

I’ll say this.

If you’re trying to land a coach I think it’s good that a coach can see that Jerry will let them finish the season at least before he would fire them.

Maybe if you were looking at a coach in his 3rd year.

But Garrett has been here nearly a decade. I don't think at that point many prospective coaches would have an issue with a guy getting pinched a few games before the season end.

 

[Sydla]

That may or not be true.

But it would have to be someone already with the team. Like Aikman said, no one has earned that interim HC position.

Bringing in someone from outside the organization to coach the last 3 games doesn't sound like a recipe for success.

I think Aikman's point about the assistants was more a commentary on how the entire staff has failed, not a backdoor endorsement of keeping Garrett.

And I think he knows he should have. He has to know that the end is here and the longer he puts it off, the worse it will get.
I think it's likely that the Cowboys will not win another game this year if Garrett is not removed. His situation has become a distraction and the Cowboys lose focus too quickly in games. It's burnout.
The Eagles are in bad shape, but they will likely rally.
The Commanders are playing better under Callahan.
And the Rams are next.

Many here told you that wasn't going to happen. Jerry has made it clear that Jason is finishing this season. I'm okay with that.

I don't want anyone on this staff promoted to interim coach and I really don't want Jerry handing them the gig going forward. Clean house.

lol, that's what you get for thinking. Jason is Jerry's boy. I still have doubts that he will be fired at the end of the season.

Or give them 10 years to win a Superbowl.

I was hoping that he would fire someone.

I didn't think it would be Garrett because as Aikman said, what coordinator has proven that he deserves a shot? I'd prefer we give one of them a chance, but I can't say they've earned it.

What I was hoping for is that either Marinelli or Richard would have been shown the door because of how this defense has been playing (and the fact that we have two coordinators). I think it should have been Richard because he's tweaked the defense since he arrived and is calling the plays. Marinelli's defense was not great before Richard arrived. This year, teams know exactly how to attack its weaknesses and we don't adjust for that. Let Marinelli go back to calling a more straight-up approach.

I'd bring in Rivera in a heartbeat if he'd do it, giving him a chance to show enough to be the permanent coach. He's led a team to the Super Bowl, so he knows how to do it as opposed to some of these college coaches we seem to be looking at. He could contribute his expertise to the defense to possibly at least make it adequate.

Cause you aren't paying attention. sorry but anyone who thinks Jason is being fired is wrong. His contract will expire at years end, untill then he is the HC.

Garrett didn't earn his position, so any coordinator would be just as qualified.
I think Moore should be given the chance. He was raised by a coach, he is still the best quarterback in Dallas, and he is the winningest quarterback in college football history.
Moore has the pedigree.

 

[DUO_CORE]

Jason will get the ax this coming Friday, the 13th

 

[Zman5]

It also affords the coach to start talking to prospective teams right away, without the burden of getting a team prepared to play each week. It is like releasing a player early that you know you have no intention of keeping.

As for the Campo point, this is different. They are daring Jason Garrett to win and get the team in the playoffs for their own vanity. Say he gets there and loses, the result is the same. The only issue here is that they think they are showing loyalty and faith with him. If I were in his position, I doubt I would say thanks for the extra four week grind. Let me take a month off and refresh before looking for a new job.

JG has the option to end the charade himself if he really wants to refresh before looking for a new job.

I'm not saying I'm opposed to it. I'm willing to give any change a try because what we have is not working. I just don't believe Jerry is interested in doing that because no coach on this team has stood out for his coaching.

you would be one of few who thought this, its clear with only 3 left theres not much upside to firing your head coach, seriously?

I am waiting any moment for Oquinn and Maher to be canned because with a normal week plus the weeknd off to prepare that would at least possibly aide in helping the worst part of the team with little interference.. that is what surprised me, hopefully meetings are being held and kicklkers are being called in..

i realize noine mighght not be beter but if they are not sorse why not change them out as a show of some resmblence of makig atatsmet to the rest f the team?

thats more relaiatic, Oquinn and Maher the scapegoat with 3 to go..

Garett is gone after the season anyway, so its not too far out be patient..

Nah, Lee, Jerry has said many times he wouldn't make a change during the season...................what's frustrating is that he picked this to be truthful about.

Or maybe he thinks losing 3 games in a row, to teams with better records at that, while disappointing isn’t exactly a fireable offense.

there is no way for them to "earn it" lol coaching under JG, and richards is under marinelli he just calls marinellis
D plays.
There is only one way to find out how they would do and that is to give them the last 3 games.
test drive one of them, make it clear that unless they do outstanding, they wont get the job. or that either way
they will just be one of the candidates.

 

[mrmojo]

Jerry's looking for a reason to keep JG, that's why he is still here. If they somehow get to playoffs and win a playoff game I think he keeps him....

 

[Whyjerry]

Not while we are still in the hunt for the playoffs..

The hunt is more like we are shot and lying in the tall grass bleeding out slowly or waiting for some one to put us out of our misery.

 

[dreghorn2]

If you really thought Jerry was going to fire his golden boy yesterday, you’re either being naive or overly optimistic.

Jerry isn’t firing his boy while the cowboys are still fighting for a playoff spot.

And yes we all know this team isn’t going to go anywhere even if they back into the playoffs. But this is Jerry we are talking about. An incompetent GM who makes decisions based on pride and emotion rather than reason and rationality.

Well, perhaps fighting is too strong a term.

They seem to be tussling for a playoff spot.. no that's not right, they are wrestling.. no that's not correct either.

Hmm.. they appear to be gesticulating in a manner that would suggest that the playoffs might be something they could possibly be interested in. Yes that's it.
