Worst Cowboys HC since we won a championship?

What’s funny is Campo been coaching for 30 years before becoming HC. Multiple championships, players loved him and on some ridiculous planet Garrett’s better. No value at all in an actual resume and coaching experience, No comparison whatsoever to their rosters or overall talent. You don’t even have to accomplish anything ever. lol 13 years of pure garbage based on nepotism. A no confidence, zero balls football team with yet another monumental collapse 10 years in. But Garrett’s a true leader. lol there’s no bar at all here. It’s pretty sad.
YEAH..there's BIG difference in being a positional coach and a HC. Night and day. You must be a natural leader. HE WAS NOT. Can't fool the players. Campo was kin to a child trying to play house in an adult world. DOESN'T WORK. While he had a lack of talent, his coaching "prowess" was by far, WORSE.

Campo gets a bad rap. His no talent teams never quit. Plus Jerry was handling "EVERYTHING FROM SOCKS TO JOCKS" back then

Garrett wasted more talent than and coach in cowboys history.

Another individual achievement. Meaningless crap right up there with the pro bowl and executive of the year. Ultimately lead no where at all. That’s an anomaly. And I’m sure he wins that same coach of the year with Campo’s roster! lol
That comment right there just shows how you can say stupid things from time to time. If you don't like me saying that to you then stop doing it and won't call out your stupid comments. I think that's a good deal that we can both live up to. Deal? :D

See I feel like him being part of the coaching staff that won us 3 Super Bowls helps his case! He might have been a small part of it, I’m sure. I was too young when they were winning, and I know a lot of the success we had came from Jimmy and how he build the team.

Garrett didn’t accomplish much before he became the head coach and wasted 9 full seasons of everyones time with little or no improvement. Obviously Jerry shares blame in that but gosh it felt like the end of a nightmare when he left lol. I felt like Jerry spent a lot of resources trying to make Garrett be a better coach, all for his final season to be 8-8. Just my honest opinion.
Campo didn't contribute crap to those SB years, he was along for the ride. At least Garrett managed to distinguish himself with Coach of the year honors while he was wasting those years with the Cowboys.

The only way I can compare those coaches is by comparing the talent and whether they maxed it out.

Switzer is a lot better HC than most give him credit for here but his prep of his team to go to SF cost them a 4 in a row record. But they did rebound to get that 3rd ring. Irvin gave Switzer a lot more credit than the media after that victory.

Campo inherited a mess but he was the least likely HC of those 6 guys and got the job because he was there and Booger knew he could control him and forced his coaching staff on him. He was barely a good DC.

The one I would put at the top would be Parcells and he had his worst record in Dallas, wonder why that was?

The only thing that connects them is the GM during all of their tenures and there was only one he was not allowed to screw with and did anyway.

How in the hell do you compare HC's when the job description reads 1. Do what the GM wants you to do. 2. See 1.

It's a skewed comparison because none of those former head coaches mentioned had the job for a decade as Garrett. This team had more issues than just Garrett whom I agree held on to the job longer than he should have.

Campo was unbearable for a few years! :(

Garrett was a drag for what seemed like forever! :rolleyes:
It's like having to choose the most tolerable of two losers! :muttley:

garrett was on the outside looking in. without tony in 2015, he coached the team to a 1-11 record.

Garrett did less with more than any coach in NFL history. He was the best damn snake oil salesman I've ever seen. He kept our FO bamboozled for a decade on "the process."

Campo may have been handed one of the worst rosters and CAP situations in the salary cap era. Winning 5 games a year with those teams far and away was a greater achievement than going 8-8 with Garrett's squads. Would have loved to see what Campo could have done with some actual talent.

garrett.

Wasted more talent than the rest combined

If you go by overall lethargy of the team, Gaily. If you go by record, probably Campo.

But you're right: if you measure by talent, Garrett.

I think Switzer did ok managing a declining talent base, but as he admitted, his approach which was to treat the players like grownups just didn't work.

^ Yet another OPINION offered as fact in the response of FACTS offered as facts. Garrett... Coach of the Year. Campo... 5-11 X 3. :muttley:

You play a weak game that I will swat down all day long. Come at me strong or don't bother at all. Dig?
