Yes, Jason Garrett needed to be fired, and the Cowboys needed to move on to another coach. Now that they've settled on Mike McCarthy, it is time to quit dunking on Jason Garrett. Whatever else you may say about Garrett, he gave the Cowboys 20 years of dedicated service, and although he came up short, no one can honestly say he didn't give it his best effort.

The vast majority of "fans" gloating over his firing couldn't come close to being as professional as Garrett, and couldn't coach the team better than Garrett did. It is sad that he didn't become what Jerry Jones hoped he would be.

Sometime in the future, Garrett may get another chance elsewhere. At that point, we'll find out if Garrett was really the issue and is truly just a mediocre coach, or if Garrett was too hamstrung by Jerry Jones to have a true opportunity to be successful. Whatever the case, it clearly wasn't working for Dallas. Quite frankly, I don't know if it was Garrett, or if the Cowboys coaching environment is so toxic that no one can be successful. I do know (along with everyone else who is gloating) that Garret and Jones weren't getting it done together in Dallas, and that Jones isn't leaving. So Garrett had to go.

But I think the man deserves more respect than many are giving him. He has been a dedicated Cowboy for a long time, and his family has been associated with the Cowboys for even longer. Surely, that service deserves more respect than what some fans are dishing out.

Jason sabotaged a good man in Wade Phillips... he gets no respect. He was an underachieving coach that occupied our coaching position... good riddance...

so if I work on your car and I suck, it's okay because I gave it my best shot?

Nah bruh he wasted a decade of my life as a fan. If there is a shot to be taken I will be first in line.

yeah agree! Going to get worse before it gets better...esp if we come out and the team looks organized, prepared, and motivated!

I haven't checked the sports channels this morning but l'm pretty sure Garrett has already been snatched out of the unemployment line. According to Jerry and Dilfer, half the NFL teams were waiting to pounce on him as soon as he was freed from Jerry's asylum...

How is that a difference? Do you really think there haven't been a lot of other head coaches that failed that didn't have what it takes to be a head coach in the NFL?

Besides, even if that's true, that's on Jerry, not Jason. Jason didn't hire himself, or retain himself for 9 years.

They didn’t last 10 years and continuously make the same mistakes. He didn’t understand basic clock management. He allowed his QB to be sacked 8 times in a half or whatever it was. He didn’t talk to people during the game. We both know there were many many other issues, but just consider those 3.

He was woefully under qualified and this is frustrating to some for a variety of reasons. Whether he tried hard or not relevant to me. He was making millions of dollars to perform and get results. Not try hard.

Riiight...like nothing is ever said about T.O., Dez, Romo, Carpenter, Campo, Phillips, Taco, Crayton, Beasley, Bennett, Carter, etc. Garrett, will always be discussed as the worst in Cowboy history, in spite of his record. Some of the remaining players, may join him in that discussion.

Sorry this clown gave too many smug answers at his pressers....enjoy your HS gig.

You realize people still dunk on Danny White around here? And he took us to 3 NFCCGs in a row.

Fair to say the dunking will never be over.

Not exactly sure why you felt the need to post this but Its Garrett the coach I hated. Not Garrett as a person because I never met the guy.
He was gifted the job and never earned it.
He was always preaching getting better but he never worked on it himself.
He never took blame for not having the team prepared.
He took a week to go back and look at tape in the Commanders game when Romo was sacked 7 times to figure out the stunt that was beating the oline.
He did the same crap with the Atlanta game when Claiborne was beating Chaze Green. ( just one of many examples)
He never was able to make in game adjustments.
He never actually coached during the games. Never see him with the other coaches looking at tablets or sitting with Dak discussing whats happening on the field.
Former NFL players have stated the Cowboys offense was never scheming and did the same thing week in and week out. The try to out talent you or beat you man up. Almost every team in the league the head coach game plans specific for his opponent. Thats just lazy in my opinion.
Garrett may very well get another job and I hope he does well but I hated him while he was here and he is not getting my respect.

People dislike(d) Garrett, the coach; they didn’t dislike Garrett, the person. Huge distinction.

It’s not immoral or unacceptable to rag on his lack of success and just because he’s been fired shouldn’t prevent the truth from being told

the truth will set you free

risco · Jan 7, 2020

I agree- he’s gone now. I do that for any players or coach. When they leave, for whatever reason, I’m finished with them. I have no ill will.

No.

We had 9 years of Garrett, fandom is allowed a little more time to lower loop.

Yes, the difference is that he lasted 10 years, and again, that’s on Jerry, not Jason. Jason didn’t hire himself, nor did he extend his own contracts.

I'd say we will just be passing the dunking torch to whatever fanbase that is unfortunate to have him on their sideline next year in any capacity other than making sure the phones work.

I'm not gloating over Garrett's firing because there's nothing to gloat about.
The damage he did to the Cowboys franchise and their fans cannot be undone.
The careers he wasted and the hundreds of millions of dollars in talent are just the beginning. He wasted years of the fans' lives and destroyed the integrity of the Cowboys franchise.
We were forced to endure his spoiled brat nepotism while he got rich. It's clear that he backstabbed Wade Phillips and threw ball games in order to ensure Phillip's didn't win a Super Bowl. He knew that if Phillips succeeded that he might never be head coach.
So I'm not gloating.
But at the same time, the damage he did to the fans, players, and the Cowboys franchise cannot and should not be forgotten.
He should not escape blame and the stigma for the terrible things he has done.
I don't wish him well. I think he should never be allowed to coach or commentate on the NFL ever again.
But inevitably he will.
There's nothing to gloat about. The damage he did is real.

Doomsday101 · Jan 7, 2020

I have never had the hatred of Garrett as some have. But I have said many times that his job was to win and Jerry gave him ample time to get this team over the hump and he failed to do it. I wish nothing but the best for him and yes fully expect to see him back on the sideline, be it the NFL or college

Carter · Jan 7, 2020

I wish him very well at his next HC Gig at Appalachian State University
