Now we know why no quality HC is coming here

[jnday]

Finally something that makes sense about what is wrong in Dallas.

Clearly its Jerrah pulling strings and over ruling his coaches.

I was wondering when Moore was going to get his share of the rightful blame.

So coach Jerrah can just roll up his pants and wade into the swamp he created.

Back when it was announced Moore was the OC..

I was stunned like many of us that such an inexperienced playcaller would lead the team post Linehan.

I agree with Garrett's reported complaint that he and he alone should have complete control of the offense to decide his future.

This was a decision if I was Garrett would make me want out of the organization.

There is just too much rear seat coaching going on with Jerrah.

Parcells got the similar overrule attitude from Jerrah when Jerrah signed TO when Parcells did not want him.

TO was signed anyway.

This is crazy.

How do we get a good coach here to coach if he knows Jerrah reserves the right to do this?

Comments?

You will except another puppet coach and like it. The Cowboys are Jerry’s toy and he will play with it as he sees fit.

 

[jnday]

I have no idea what you're talking about but Moore was a successful OC.

Except in the red zone which loses a lot of games.

 

[Blackspider214]

The Cowboys set franchise records for total yards (6904) and passing yards (4751) and scored 434 points. Moore's offense worked, but it's clear he didn't always dial up the right plays at the right time.

I would rather keep him for now because the Cowboys clearly have something going with him and he should get better with experience. Just my opinion.

How much of those yards were garbage time? Packers, Bills, Bears come to mind right off the top. Games we got behind big and then passed a lot to make the score look closer. As you said, the situational playcalling was not good. So many of those yards were empty. Doesn't help that we play the Commanders and Giants twice apiece. That will inflate the yards.

In today's game, gaining yards becomes easier as each year passes due to several reasons. It comes down to can you score, get stops and keep drives going in key situations. And we did none of that when it mattered. This is why merely just pointing to stats on paper is not the correct way to judging. You have to watch the games to see what is unfolding. Another example of that is the Saints game. You look up and see we only gave up 12 points. Sound good? Sure. But watching that game, you know the Saints moved the ball when they needed to. Any time they needed to extend the drive or get points, they did. Especially that 8-9min drive to take the lead after we took the lead. And the same can be said about offense. You see a lot of yards put up on paper and think they did good but in situational football, those yards did not come at the right time.

I know.

It's so frustrating as a fan anymore.

Football is just a sidebar issue for us anymore.

 

[Redball Express]

It shouldn't be news to anyone that JJ has always been the puppermaster. Been like that since the Switzer days.

After this failure with Garrett as HC..

which road do we take?

I think Stephen moves up and starts to take guys like Witten and Sean Lee who will help him run the team.

Guys like Witten and Sean Lee are made position coaches for continuity. Both of their careers suggest they will make that work.

No matter what, changes are coming. The sooner it happens the sooner we know the next moves.

 

[badfinger54]

Don't get your hopes up.....

 

[Redball Express]

You're just now realizing this?

No.

It's that we never have had a clear indication coming from an employee of Jerrah's organization.

Jimster aside who would say different as we know.

Jason here is pointing fingers at Jerrah.

Not business as usual.

 

[Redball Express]

Kellen Moore's offense looked suspciously like whatever it was we were running before. Gangbusters against bad teams, 9 points in a must win game.

He just was outcoached all year and like always..

we had no answers..

Been this way for 20+ years.

 

[Redball Express]

Leave it to Jerry and his hapless idiocy to turn Garrett's dismissal into a production.

Just more phony drama, at best. JG walks into the sunset, no worse for the ordeal?

Trying to soften the perception Garrett is not a good coach.

I mean if Jerrah wants to absorb some of Garrett's problems making it to appear Garrett had to overcome Jerrah's mistakes and still win as he has..

then fine.

If that is some backhand endorsement to help Gattett get hired elsewhere..

go for it.

Jerrah has repeatedly told the media that other teams will be lining up to interview Garrett for HC.

This is whistling in the dark to me. But Garrett has to appreciate the hype for his legacy in Dallas.

When I think about Cowboy HCs..

Garrett as a HC is just ahead of Campo and Gailey and Phillip's as successful coaches.

Not a very good list to be leading. Garrett is behind Landry, Jimster, Parcells.

He is never going to lead over those last names if you give him another 10 years to try.

 

[Redball Express]

You get it in writing that if any of the aforementioned shenanigans ensue that you are released immediately from your contract and Jerry has to pay you all of the remaining salary for the life of the contract in one lump sum payment.

Heck..

That is not a condition..

that is a sure bet bonus of a clause.

Nice golden parachute if you ask me.

not defending garrett but a head coach should have control over his staff and how he runs the team. if it doesn't work, then he gets fired....he and he alone should be responsible and accountable. but when the GM/Owner/President intervene's regardless of the HC ability/inability then it muddies the water....if he is not good enough, then fire him. if he is good then let him do it his way. you can't sit on the fence.

also, keep in mind no good OC would have come to dallas, with most of the coaching staff in the last year of their contract as well as the head coach in the last year of his contract. why take a risk, come to an organization that's notorious for dysfunction, in a lame duck year....so Jerry had no choice, no other choice but to promote someone from within and one of the choices was Moore who was looking for the experience.

this was a total cluster Fvvckk of a process created by Jerry.

and I agree with you on Parcells. after Jerry-Meddling started, Parcells knew he has no chance of succeeding in Dallas so he chose to leave......

 

[erod]

Despite Jerry, this is still THE job in the league. It's the Yankees, Lakers, Man United...

Jerry could have anybody. The Cowboys are the first on their list. But, he prefers lesser names that afford him more involvement.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Jerry has always been the major problem in this organization. But Garrett is incompetent. He's already called his own plays and has been bad at it.

garrett as OC had some success. Garrett's constant failure has been making the wrong calls and decisions at crucial times of the game. ultimately that was his down fall.

I would rather the next head coach decide who his coaching staff should be.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Garrett had his chance to run the offense. It was awful. Some of yall have very short memories.

Absolutely.

More smoke and mirrors.

Despite our defensive struggles that date back to the loss to the Rams.

Richard did nothing but go deeper in the hole in 2019.

There were way too many long clock eating drives that kept the offense on the sideline

I saw nothing change

I just see a new HC as wanting to supporting his arrival.

But it depends on if it's a HC who is offensive or defensively oriented.

The news the last couple of days about Richard being told to look for a job and he was said to be going to interview with the Jints..

tells me the Cowboys are possibly looking at a defensive HC to rebuild the defense.

The offense is pretty set with players and coaches for now.

Richard leaving says Marinelli is too.

Tea leaf reading is needed right now.

Defense was our Achilles Heel all year.

And this after a good defensive year in 2018 to go 7-2 down the stretch to make the playoffs.

I am dumbfounded about that completely.

And this was after Quinn and Bennett were signed which should have improved us.

But losing Wolf Hunter was more of a factor than I thought it would be.The 2018 defense reverted to the 2017 defense without him.

Suddenly, Lber is a top priority for us as Sean Lee probably retires, too.

2020 does not look like our year if you ask me.

B/w having to rebuild the coaching staff and needing a handful of new faces sprinkled on both sides of the ball tempers my expectations.

Being realistic and lowing our feelings seems appropriate.

 

[JReed1000]

I think its absolutely crazy that you would think no good HC wants to come here. The Team is dang near stacked. Where would you wanna coach....Cleveland or Dallas? I know Jerry is a pain but I refuse to believe any coach doesn't know the Old Man just wants 1 more Championship before he dies and will do whatever it takes for you to have the best players possible.

I agree. A lot of stuff was breaking open. But you have to make the throws. Receivers have to make the catch.

But I will say one thing. I can't stand the RPO
