I’ve been bashing Garrett since 2008 and been saying he’s the worst decision Jerry has ever made in setting this organization back, And ruining the prime careers of talented players along the wat. I’m not defending him.

Linehan HAD a job before coming here and it was as his experience in Dallas that most likely has kept him out of a job, unless he decided to retire.

That being said, Linehan was far better than Garrett ever was as a play-caller and the only reason Linehan was brought in, was because Garrett’s offense would have changed completely. Linehan had the connection with Garrett via Miami and the offensive coaching trees were the ‘same’. First, Callahan was given control by Jerry and Garrett kept interfering, per Jerry’s own words, and sabotaging it, so Jones basically went with Jason and brought in Linehan. Jones specifically said this and further, said he didn’t want Garrett touching the offense.

It is a testament to Callahan’s work on the RG and OL that it took him only one year to get in the graces of Jerry that the latter actually experimented with him as a play caller.

But. Jerry’s decisions with regards to coordinators has been in regards to changing play-callers, not changing the complete offense, at least as far as Garrett has been HC these last few years. Garrett obviously maneuvered the situation in this manner. If the offense was completely revamped, then Garrett’s would be completely rendered “useless”.

This is why I think Garrett was a big reason behind Dak starting over Romo, because Romo post new-contract was shifting the power dynamic even more.

Remember, this is also the same Jerry who went 3-4, back to 4-3 on defense, but always defended Garrett’s role in the offense. It took Garrett multiple years of failure and Romo’s new contract for Jerry to start inserting himself between Garrett and the play-calling.

Yet, Garrett still remains despite all this. This still is telling that Garrett has significant influence in the organization. Any other person would have been fired. Jerry was extremely close to Jason’s father, Jim Garrett and the latter along with Lacewell were very influential in the 20 plus year disasters. Jim and Larry has to retire when Parcells came, but showed up once again after Bill retired.

Remembered most of these details but doesnt hurt to be reminded of them and how the close knit family ties between he Garrett and Jones family as well as the long standing Lacewell relationship has possibly influenced the Cowboy big picture for almost a quarter century.

Very nice post.

If all of this is true

Jerry in the below interview basically says that the plan was Callahan was to call plays. He also said that Garrett was interfering because of this, so they went and got Linehan. Callahan was obviously changing the whole dynamic. In this situation with the Linehan hiring, Jerry said he didn’t want Garrett calling the plays or touching the offense and he’d spend more time on defense, and with a role that had ‘ambiguity’ in it.

That whole off-season Jerry was gushing about the dynamic between Romo and Linehan and the year prior, when Romo was given the new contract, it was being stated by guys like Wade Wilson that Romo was going to have input on the offense. Garrett puppets tried to spin this as Romo just bring a happy go-lucky guy that didn’t put in the effort, but it had to do with the fact Garrett had complete control and didn’t even have Romo in game planning meetings. Even Garrett tried to spin this ‘demotion’ as it making sense the QB would he involved in the game planning for the opponents that week. This a Romo bring given “Peyton-like” responsibilities correlated with the decision to make Callahan the new play caller as well.

Like I said, Jerry was gushing in training camp about this new Linehan-Romo dynamic, while everybody else was focused on other things regarding the team.

Callahan also got angry after he lost play calling duties and wanted to interviewed for OC positions he was being offered, but he still had a year left on his contract and Jerry didn’t give him permission. The problem is, he had a title as Assistant HC/OV if I remember correctly, so he couldn’t bounce immediately for an OC role, because it was a lateral move as far as titles are concerned. Once that contract was over the next year, Bill bounced.

So one can see the power dynamics at play as far as Garrett is concerned. All of what’s been happening since then makes way more sense.

So strange in that Garrett has strong personal relationships with 2 of the best coaches ever in Belicheck and Saban.

The forrmer's most noted mantra is "The Patriot Way" and is a stand alone ideology that defies all NFL parity logic by itself.

Saban was and is the original author of the so called process at the University of Alabama to which he has coached to several championships.
Garrett's plagiarized version of The Process is an absolute punchline here.

Good stuff.

We use to head r regularly, by Garrett-homers, and the majority of guys on here were just that, but are now turning, that even decisions like bringing in Kiffen, which was originally widely praised by the homers, as Garrett’s influence. People on this forum pushed this narrative of Garrett gaining more and more influence in this organization, leading it on the right path and claimed this as a genius move by Garrett.

This was during the era that the defense was always used as a scapegoat for this organizations failures, even though perceptive people already knew Garrett was way in over his head, offensively. He was all shine, no substance. There were other excuses as well, including Dez didn’t know how to run routes, or Romo kept checking out if run plays, because nobody wanted to admit Garrett has no clue how to field a RG. Our current RG was basically built off of Callahan, a guy we lucked into and a guy Garrett feuded with and got jealous of and didn’t have a problem taking credit from via his lackeys in the media.

also, to note, Kiffen was actually pushed by Lacewell, who was also part of the inner circle of Jerry with Jim Garrett. Jim Garrett pushed the Drew Henson experiment and Jason Garrett’s brother pushed the Kevin Ogletree experiment.

Those that paid really close attention knew Romo was masking all these warts on offense. The failures on offense became really evident against good defenses, where an offense solely reliant on Romo would commit multiple turnovers, because of trying to force the issue.

So based on that article from @khiladi i don’t want to hear how Garrett has nothing to do with the defense either. What a trash *** organization this is. I’m officially ready for 4-12. Disgusting

Sadly, this is both funny and true. We need a young coach that sees the game better and differently than most each week. Stop being the same and scheme and out scheme the opponents. We need someone that is an offensive or defensive genius and is smart enough to understand all phases of the game.

When 2012 finished and the tides were turning for Garrett, and Jerry was extremely angry saying changes were going to be made, Garrett basically called out Rob Ryan and the defense as the fault the offense didn’t succeed. He basically didn’t just point to the lack of TOs, Jason said that the lack of TOs didn’t give his offense more opportunities to score, meaning Jason even placed the failures of his offense on the defense. Yet Jason failed to mention all the TOs that his offenses created that gave the opposing teams offense opportunities to Score.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap10...rett-lack-of-turnovers-led-to-rob-ryan-firing

Notice how Garrett references the Bears defense and takeaways, while saying it would give ‘his offense more’ chances. The guy scapegoats everybody. That is when they went completely to 4-3 and brought in Kiffen. The Cowboys went after the same coaching tree on defense as the Bears.

At the same time, I think Romo via his new contract was in a position to force some changes, which led to the “Peyton-like” responsibilities that Jerry was quoted as saying. If it weren’t for Romo, these changes weren’t going to happen. Even the Frederick pick, Jerry attributed to Romo. Callahan also worked him out and supposedly was pushing heavily fur Dallas to pick him. So with Romo, Jason started losing control, which is why, to this day I still believe Jason and Stephen worked their Dak angle to retain the staring job. Part of the sell of Dak to Jerry was his contract was going to be a lot cheaper than Romo.

Just as an aside, Jerry that year in 2012 fired a whole bunch of assistant coaches, including guys like Skip Peete. But he didn’t fire John Garrett, but gave him a graceful exit. “Jones Ranch” and John basically sold it like Jason’s brother wanted to move on.

The main point on all of this is the Garrett’s have significant influence in this organization, even after all that has happened. They are politicians to the core.

I agree with you except for the worst decision Jerry made being Garrett. No the worst decision Jerry made was when he bought the team he somehow believed that entitled him to be a GM for life. Regardless of results. That’s Jerry’s worst decision.

I truly can't imagine the responses from the select pro Garrett crowd after all the factual and contextual evidence reminders supplied here...

Like anything short of, "My bad, maybe I was wrong about him" would just sound more like the non accountability that plagues the organization to it's core. Product of the environment I guess and far fetched to think another could summon the humility to say so publicly after so much factual evidence suggests otherwise.

So let me ask you this. What can a guy do if your Boss has already told him not to interfere with the OC? Can Garret do anything? Can he make Moore call a different play? he's a lame duck walk around coach with no real power, just the way Jerry likes it.

And let’s not forget what Garrett is getting paid to do now. Hold up his end of this bargain by letting Jerry and his multi-generational offspring do whatever they want, wherever, whenever they choose. You know like zero other NFL HCs allow.

So may I ask, what exactly DOES he do to earn $6 million annually? No results, no discipline, no accountability, no leadership, no competitive edge, no energy....he is a lifeless MANNEQUIN on the sidelines weekly!

The ONLY HC i have ever seen doing NOTHING during a game...no talking, no engaging with staff/players, no calling plays, no checking screenshot or play sheets....My Goodness, WHAT DOES HE DO!?
