News: BR: Cowboys Rumors: Jason Garrett Asked to Call Plays After Not Getting New Contract

[phildadon86]

This isn't most organizations. I'm not saying keep anyone but it's false to say he's gone through more OC's than most. But this whole article points out the real problem. The HC doesn't get a say in how his staff performs, they answer to his boss. If not fixed the next HC will have the same fate.

Garrett had his duties stripped from him already. He did this all to himself.

On one hand - it's ridiculous that a HC has to request this.

On the other hand - this team is so mismanaged in critical situations. E.g. 4th quarter clock management. And that's without Garrett calling plays.

Didnt they also bring in a coach specifically for Clock Management early on because Garrett couldn't do that either? The gut has had 10 years and has run out of excuses. They had removed every aspect of what a real Head Coach does because he couldn't do any of them besides be a good friend. His roll was basically to clap the whole game. LET HIM GO!!!

 

[phildadon86]

That's a huge stretch, and has no nothing to do with the topic of this thread.

You asked about self respect. And its not a stretch. Its fact. Tavon Austin was called out, so was Kellen Moore, and Sajay, and etc etc etc. Garrett has never manned up since he started here. He is the king of blame shifting.

and Jerry Jones wonders why he's the laughing stock amonst the NFL?

I swear Jerry must have accidentally killed somebody and Garrett is the only person who knows where the body is hidden

 

[OmerV]

Because most of the time OC's arent fired to save the HC. HC's are usually fired with their OC's

That's not true at all. It's not uncommon for coaches below the level of the head coach to be changed out. That's part of the job of the head coach - to figure out the staff that works, and make a change to staff that doesn't work.

Of course, part of the job of the GM is to figure out the HC that works and make a change if needed, and unfortunately Jerry took too long doing that.

And I’m pretty sure Jason was calling the plays for the Saints game as it back his normal crap vs the 1st three games. And what happened?

Bingo the Garrett way. Keep it close ,win in 4 th qtr. anything goes wrong an instant L

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

How can you fail so much and still want to keep trying? For someone who says he loves the Star, he sure doesn't mind dragging it through the mud while he gets endless chances to fix his non stop errors

 

[ESisback]

If we had even AVERAGE special teams, we’d have another win or two. Add a couple of missed FGs inside the 40, and two phantom tripping calls, and that’s another game or two. The team AS IS could very easily have 10-12 wins. Just sayin’.

Will you guys just hire a new HC and just be done with it?

 

[Daillest88]

Piss off garrett holy crap. How many chances do you think you need lol.. saying that he should of had control. Jerry really thinks he’s gonna get all the shine if we win a Super Bowl lol. What a clown.



kind of see why Garrett is putting the blame on other coaches this year than most. He wanted to go out on his terms. You can’t blame him for that part

Arguably, Garrett might have a case for another "let me prove it my way" year deal.

What say you?

I'm dead...

 

[Risen Star]

The head coach wasn't allowed to call plays.

Welcome to the problem in Dallas.

no, not much is going to change.

but with that said, this is Jerry's fault. he prolonged the outcome. if you are going to hold him accountable, then you also need to let him do it his way, otherwise its going to get things all screwed up. now I understand why the coaching staff had infighting and there were losing trust. the lines of responsibility and accountability is all screwed up...

this doesn't excuse garrett from his problems with in game management of situations....but it speaks volumes to the screwed up corporate structure of cowboys which starts at the top

The context of my comment was him talking to Jerry about his job for the coming year.

Garrett hasn't thrown people under the bus remotely like some claim. Players don't even say that when they leave - other than Dez of course, who is a well known malcontent.

The funny thing is fans at times rag on Garrett for not calling out players in the media, but now the mantra has changed even though he still has never called out players. The most he has done is explain what went wrong with a play, and in doing so naturally the players involved get mentioned. How in the world do you explain what went wrong with a play without mentioning the players involved? And even then, he tries very hard to soften the responsibility of the players involved, yet fans still take it as him throwing players under the bus.

The truth is, the media played it out that way a time or two, and fans who don't seem to be able to think for themselves, or who don't even bother to read the content of what Garrett says, just eagerly and blindly go along with the sensationalized headline.

He was not allowed to call plays because he sucks at it!

 

[willia451]

The expectation after 10 years of FAIL among the fan base and the media is a new HC and a new direction.

If that is not delivered they are going to be savaged in the media and by the fans. The **** storm will be epic.

Personally. I just think this is all because they expected to make the playoffs. And when they didn't, they got stuck. Because they had no plan on what to do if they didn't make it.

Now they have to try to figure out what to do as a group on the fly. And that's going to take a while.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

No he doesn't have a case, he got playcalling taken away for a reason.

based on what jerry thought was best to do it....which doesn't say a lot.....if he let him call plays and hold him accountable then we would have been at this outcome long ago.....

 

[phildadon86]

He was not allowed to call plays because he sucks at it!

He was allowed. Then stripped of the duties because he was an epic failure.

 

[Dale]

If you don't decide who calls the plays, you aren't the coach.

The fact that JG let this go without making a public stink is why JJ wants to keep him. Jerry gets to play coach while having a fall guy with the title.

Bingo. I want Garrett gone. But for as long as we continue hiring head coaches who can’t authorize who is on their staff or who is calling plays, our problems will continue.

 

[sdfidaho]

I'm dead...

And if JG is given an extension as HC, then you’ll know you’re in Purgatory

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

He was not allowed to call plays because he sucks at it!

he sucks at in game management...under wade he produced 3 top 10 offenses out of 4 years and subsequently was top 15 and top 10 a lot......as a head coach he should be allowed to make his own decisins on his coaching staff, roles and responsibilities. when Jerry meddles and pushes coordinators or coaches onto the coaching staff and decides their roles, it muddies the water......
