He’s incredibly well regarded in NFL coaching/GM circles. And the fact is there are not a lot of coaches available with 3-4 division titles on their resume.

You mean aside from all the Ron Riveras and Marvin Lewises out there? Winning weak divisions isn’t exactly a high bar for anything. Somebody has to win them.

We're ready for a change. A different minded head coach, that I'm on board with, it's been a decade.

But regardless to what us fans think/feel, JG will get picked. The real problem is his boss.

Why do people keep saying this? If he is so highly regarded in ways other than other teams like playing against him then let them have him. I hope he goes to the Giants or Commanders,

What would be the mindset behind hiring Garrett as head coach after these 9 years? All he is doing is scaring Giants and Commanders fans. I think Giants fans are probably in full blown panic mode.

That's like saying Germany is one of the greatest military powers in the world, or Farrah Fawcett is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Those days are dead.

That last Super Bowl team had players now in their 60s.
Germany wasted all that talent with a terrible head coach.

We'll never be the Bengals or any other losing franchise for that matter.......5 Super Bowls sets that standard here. That will never change....
If you want to go far enough back into history. How about the Browns? They can say that too. So can the Skins.

The Cowboys will not suffer that because of a term coined early on to try and explain the attraction for a team that had really not accomplished much and I don't know who gets credit for it but it is still in play today, "Cowboys Mystique". That's what created America's team. I do not know how to describe it but can attest to it that is was there back in the 60's. I was a Cards fan and they became my co-team immediately and exclusive in the Ice Bowl.

They used to also have a label that the players really detested when compared to the Browns or Packers, the "finesse team". They pretty much shut that down for the Packers fans in the Ice Bowl. Guy I used to work with was from GB and he said the talk of the town wasn't the Packers the next day, it was the toughness of the Cowboys. I remember what the great GB announcer, Ray Scott, said about them after that game. The Cowboys could play in the black and blue division.

You are right, but not just about the Bengals. I don't care how many rings NE wins or PIT or the titles in GB, there is no NFL franchise like the Dallas Cowboys throughout it's 100 year history. Earned or not, doesn't matter, it is still there.

I've often wondered how JG would do in a typical organization instead of this one with Jerry's meddling.
I think it's easy for us to sit in front of our TVs and assign blame for decades of mediocrity in Dallas. I've been a Garrett critic myself for almost 10 years now. I hate his offense. I hate his conservatism. I hate his often inexplicably logic-defying game day decisions and his refusal (or inability) to adapt--to anything. But there are reasons he stands on the sidelines on Sundays while I sit on my couch. There are reasons people around the league (reportedly) admire Jason Garrett, and I'm willing to entertain the possibility that they know a lot more about his ability than I do. So I'm gonna reserve judgement. It remains to be seen whether he actually gets scooped up and how he does elsewhere, how the Cowboys do without him. After all, it's not like Valley Ranch was a bastion of championships in the 19 or whatever years before the Red Rocket took over. Maybe the problem really is bigger than head coach.

1000% ...You said it waaay better than I could. Look no further than network rating game after, year after year even with little or no post-season success over the last 20 years.

I suppose Dallas's garbage could become another teams treasure that doesn't mind giving up the big games to crappy clock management.

I don't think he is a bad head coach. He's just a coach that won't will win you a title. Proof is in the pudding as they say, and the Pudding Garrett makes pretty much turns rancid at the end.
