Anyone who thinks coaching hasn't been an issue in Dallas the past 10 years simply hasn't been watching the games. Jason's in-game management was arguably some of the worst I've ever seen from a tenured Head Football Coach. He couldn't adapt to changes in the game and didn't have the football IQ to revamp his game plan on a whim. Last season was among his worst work. We were 0-8 when trailing at halftime and 1-13 the last two seasons. He was so bad that Jerry knew that he couldn't sell a contract extension to the fanbase, even though he probably did want to extend him deep down. Jason also had no coaching network to speak of either, so Jerry had to hold his hand in hiring his own staff. Jason's hires include career underachievers, smooth talking simps like Paul Alexander or Kris Richard, or random guys like Derek Dooley and Scott Linehan, whom he met on Saban's staff in Miami. No quality coach wanted to work with Garrett because they all know he's a fraud and a product of nepotism. How many good coaches has he developed? The list ends with Matt Eberflus, who embarrassed him with a 23-0 SHUTOUT when we played Indy two seasons ago.
I understand COVID has made a lot of things difficult with McCarthy being able to coach this team, but the presence of his big butt in that locker room instantly makes this team better because the philosophy, tendencies, and stench of Jason Garrett is gone. One thing that struck me yesterday was how he told the team that everything they do will be about winning. Garrett only wanted to "build a team that we can all be proud of." To hell with Garrett. Happy trails.
