It's not the coaches. It's the players

The players quit out there. From Amari taking himself out on key plays, especially late in the game when he was needed, to Zeke taking himself out on key downs as well, to the receivers dropping passes, to Dak missing open receivers, to the defensive secondary not able to cover the Eagles players, etc.

I saw the players quit today, not the coaches. Repeatedly, one could see the coaches yelling to the players on the sidelines, but the players (especially supposed key players) took plays off, took themselves off the field or plain out quit out there.

What a bunch of losers. Quitters!!!!

Embarrassing! :mad:
Players are a direct reflection of leadership...what’s that tell you?


Coaching. All day, every day and twice on Sunday.

Amari taking himself out of the game and just standing on the sidelines when he was needed the most does not fall on the coaches. That's on Amari and of course the front office for using a 1st round pick on a quitter.
A real coach would have walked over to Cooper and said, “ your in”. Coaches design plays to make it easier for their players to make plays. Belicheat is a master at it. Doug Peterson took his beat up offense with a bunch of backups and put them in position to make plays on our starters. He did it all game long and our coaches never adjusted! Inexcusable!!!

Would Jerry even hire an authoritative coach?
But that's on the coach also. IF Jason doesn't want to tell Zeke to get his butt back out there, or get in Amari's face during a game...
That's on him in the moment.
The players quit because they know the owner allows it and covers up for them. Would it seriously matter who the coach was? Tell me which big dog coach would want to come here and have to put up with Jerry? It's Jerry's product, and he has the final say so as to what is allowed.

LOL.

So again, you are having trouble coming to grips with the fact you invested 9 years in this guy thinking he was good and now you realize you were wrong and looked foolish defending him.
I've never liked Garrett. If you were on the old forums, you would know this.

"Play or turn over your playbook, jersey and head to the unemployment line." Simple...effective..COACHING.... Heaven forbid we get coaches who actually do their job though. Jerry would rather have a serial killer who kills his victims by throwing them under buses as his coach....so he can have all the credit in the unrealistic and unlikely event this team does anything.

Yeah...
It wouldn't matter who the coach was, maybe, but the coach still gets blame for game-planning and losing the players.
It's true, they work under a very difficult owner, but they're getting millions to make a winning product no matter what.

And Garrett can still do much, much more during a game than he does.

Really then why do we lose the same exact way with Dak and Zeke that we lost with Romo and Murray?

Jason Garrett.

You Garrett guys are really struggling right now, aren’t you?
I’m not a “Garrett guy”, but it certainly looked as though the players were totally disinterested in that game. The entire coaching staff need to go, and then they need to look long and hard at determining which players too keep (looking at you, Cooper).

You guys are the ones who have been propping up Amari and Zeke. How do you like those overpaid quitters?

Bullcrap... The coach (and owner) established the culture of this team for them to be losers.

And yet here you are trying to shift blame.

In the end, the failures of the franchise are on him more than anyone not named Jerry Jones.

I'm defending all of the coaches for this game, not just Garrett. Amari and Zeke took plays off and quit because Jerry backs them up no matter what. They are his investment. Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith would have never taken plays off, especially in key moments when they were needed most. Plus, they most certainly would never have quit no matter who the head coach was (as shown during the several coaches after Jimmy Johnson left). But Amari and Zeke? Meh, it doesn't bother them at all. Bunch of way overpaid quitters.

It was the coaches decision to pull Cooper, If true then it proves why this coaching staff shouldn't be let off the hook and get a free pass for this season's failure.

Haha, like the option toss to Pollard on 3rd and 1

Yeah it's the players
Zeke took himself out once again. What was Kellen Moore supposed to call? It's not the coaches' fault Pollard held the football with only one hand, thus was easily stripped for a fumble. That was strictly on the player. So, yes, it is on the players.
