That's definitely not accurate. In terms of yards his offenses ranked #3, #13 and #2. In terms of points they ranked #2, #18 and #14. Very exciting, and certainly not "top ten every year he was a coordinator." If you watch the games or follow Dallas Cowboys football you know that the Garrett offense has always been predictable and not very creative, that as a coach Jason Garrett is extremely conservative and not adaptable. Which is my beef. Yeah, his simple man-beat-man scheme seems to pump out some stats in the regular seasons of random years. Yeah, his offense racked up some yards, September through December of '07 and '09. And then Jason Garrett's mighty top-10 offensive machine managed 17 and a 3 points in the playoffs and promptly went home.

Rah.

Rah.

Rah.

To me the real question is, how good could those Tony Romo teams have been if the offense helped the players do their jobs instead of depending on them to just make plays? Obviously we'll never know. With Dak, Zeke, Cooper, Gallup, Jarwin and a great OL for the foreseeable future, I REALLY hope we get the chance to find out.
So how does that compute to he wasn't a good offensive coordinator? Wouldn't that be more like #21 #19 # 29?

Uh, no. He would not crush it at Alabama. That's like saying Garrett would be able to take over for Belichick and crush it for New England.
What Saban has done at Alabama is a once-in-a-generation phenomenon.

Garrett would crush it at Northwestern, Rice or Vanderbilt. They are more suited for him.

I'm sure that Jason is a great guy and smart as a whip, but still, 10 years...
