Nonsense. This team had all kinds of talent when he was here *and* the owner loved him like a son and gave him every benefit of the doubt. He should have tried coaching somewhere like Cincy or Jacksonville if he wanted to see a tough job.

You're right, though, that Garrett thought he could do it, because he bought into his own BS about how brilliant and talented he was. Unfortunately for him, you can butt kiss your way to a good job, but you can't butt-kiss your way into being a quality coach.
I disagree.

If I go down a sinking ship I'd rather do it on my terms. I mean look how Garrett got the job. He was hired before they even hired the head coach. That is not a organization that is being ran properly. Sure he had talent. Browns have talent. Plenty of teams have talent. But if I'm the head coach I need to run my team. I don't need guys like Greg Hardy thrown on me. I want to develop a culture. And he tried with the whole "RKG" thing but it became a joke the minute they were bringing in weed heads and woman beaters.

So would he have had more success? Probably not. But at least he would've went down on his own terms not with a GM/Owner who thinks he's head coach.

K’Lavon Chaisson is a star in the making if you can get him don’t pass him up over a DB that you’ll let walk in a few years. Drafting DB high rounds hasn’t historically been good to us the past 20 years.
I don't really consider 17th that high for a corner.

Disagree. McCoy and Poe are upgrades inside, but they are getting old. Woods is average at best. Hill is a bust. Crawford can't handle playing inside as proven over the years.

Randy Gregory is coming back. Plus, we have 3 very young good DEs (Armstrong, Jackson and Jelks) on the roster who will compete for that RDE position. It's useless using another 1st round pick on a DE when there are other positions of bigger need.

Randy Gregory only has one year as well and we have no idea of his conditioning. Just penciling him in as the starter would be irresponsible imo. None of the other guys have proven to be anything more than depth.

At DT the Cowboys have three starter level players and a 2nd round prospect.

Well kid, lets not forget that this is the fanbase that allowed Garrett to coach here for 10 years. And even at the end there were still plenty of people that think he was a good coach.
How did the fan base allow it? The vast majority of the fan base wanted nothing to do with Garrett.

We can't continue drafting DEs with high round picks over and over. Other positions need to be addressed as well. It's become an overkill at drafting DEs.

I have to admit I haven't really followed him, but he has less than 10 career sacks in college according to the stats I found? Am I missing something?

Who else was drafted high besides Taco?
Does it matter? We've got tons of DEs currently on the team.

But to answer your question...

Drafted in what rounds:
Taco: 1st
D-Law: 2nd
Gregory: 2nd
Crawford: 3rd
Armstrong: 4th
Jackson: 5th
Jelks: 7th

We don't need to continue using high round picks on more DEs.

I agree with you that the fans can't make Jerry fire a coach. However, the one way I can think of to influence moving on this, especially with Jerry is to hit him in the wallet and not go to games. That didn't happen of course and the Cowboys are in the news more because of the added attention of "are they or aren't they" going to ever fire him. They say that any publicity is good publicity and I am sure that has to be a little on Jerry's mind.
Absolutely if people quit showing up and buying merchandise it would get his attention. But how realistic is that? As passionate as we are about the Cowboys, family and friends and work and investments etc are much higher priorities, and those are the things important enough for us to take drastic measures to protect. Ultimately, most just want football as a diversion from all of that, and the Cowboys winning and losing doesn't have a significant enough effect on their every day lives to worry about a boycott. And lest someone say that is the problem with Cowboy fans, that comment doesn't only apply to the Cowboy fans.

You were the one that asserted the Cowboys keep drafting defensive ends high. I don't perceive it that way so i asked for clarification. Now you are saying it doesn't matter. The Cowboys just spent a 2nd at dt last year. The Cowboys have three starting calibur dts and only one starting calibur de (2 at best if Gregory returns in the same condition). If the Cowboys address the position in free agency as well as they did dt then I might feel differently.

I answered your question. Re-read my edited previous comment. As stated and clarified, the Cowboys have spent too many picks (including several high ones) on DEs. Time to make do with what we've got. Can't continue drafting a bunch of DEs.

I'll give you Taco and Gregory but D Law and Crawford is too long ago to matter to me. It doesn't make sense to make decisions today based on something that happened 6-8 years ago (especially with a new coaching staff). The roster has almost fully turned over since then. Also Tyrone Crawford was drafted a 3-4 end which would be a dt in a 4-3, not an edge rusher. The rest are jags which the Cowboys drafted jags over the years at dt as well.

Disagree. You're just hellbent on using a top round pick on a DE. I hope this coaching staff is smart enough to use our 1st and 2nd round picks on other positions of greater need.

Agree. Unrealistic for most. It would take a monster case of crippling amnesia to keep me away.

Very good response to that question. He is still young and I would love for him to work with D-Ware.

The fanbase had nothing to do with hiring Garrett or keeping him here for 10 years. That distinction belongs to jerral wayne jones. Most here wanted to dump the chump years earlier.

It’s been reported that he is in great shape.
