yeah.

he clearly doesn’t know how to coach DBs. (Ever hear of the #Legion of Boom)

who wants to be yelled at all them time?

btw, ask PManning how well KR coaches defense.

#LegionOfBoom

we had an elite coach.

now we dont

Was the Legion of boom a Kris Richard creation or were the other coaches more responsible? And what did you see from him while here that makes him elite?

I swore he would have made some defensive changes after the rams game considering his job was on the line the follwing year. Leaving marinelli and richard in place was a kiss of death. Defense was trash

I don't believe for a second that lame duck Garrett had that kind of authority.

Jerry wasted the entire 2019 season by giving JG & Company one more chance to prove old Jerry right.

I think you're both wrong and right here.

Garrett could have made changes to his staff, but he had no idea of what to do there anyway. He's never had good connections to other coaches and has never made good decisions regarding assistants. He would have had no idea of who to bring in anyway. Think about it. Rob Ryan brought in Eberflus, Garrett didn't know him. Kiffin brought in Marinelli, and Garrett thought Old Man River was the bee's knees! And Marinelli recommended Richard, Garrett just said "Sure, OK"

But you're 100% right about Jerry ultimately wasting the opportunity that 2019 presented by giving Garrett that final, lame duck year.

Last year this guy was the chosen one. Now he's in the unemployment line. Shows you what fans know about coaches.

The Legion of Boom was not a Richard creation. That's not to say he wasn't part of developing it, but the talent was accumulated before Richard was the DC, and really peaked with the Super Bowl win, which also was before Richard was DC. He did have a strong defense for a year or two as DC, but that was built on the players he inherited.

As a DB coach in Seattle, Richard was blessed with elite DBs to coach with Earl Thomas, Cam Chancellor and Richard Sherman, a couple of who could potentially end up in the HOF. I'm not saying he is a bad coach, just that it's pretty easy to look good when you have that kind of talent to work with.

But, he was our savior, I thought?
He was red hot when he got to Dallas. Slowly, week by week it seems, he cooled off a little to the point where more wanted him gone than wanted him to stay. In the end, he is just became another name on McCarthy's hit list.

Richard's bark was old hat already.
He had no bite.
He was only barking for other would-be hiring officers to see and hopefully witness his desire in the face of failure.

The whole kitchen needed reset before things were going to get better.
This is what needed to happen.

Hopefully for the better, but even for the worse.

How on earth can they fire the same guy that the majority of the fan base crowned the next HC only a year ago? He yells a lot and coached the Legion of Boom, what the hell is going on here?!

I wonder how long it will take for McCarthy to get the same treatment.

I made a post prediction recently, homie, in a reply. Actually more than one.
Look me up... stud.

That sounds like a lot of work and I’m exhausted, why don’t you help a brotha out?

Uh... Year and a half, given record... Jerry's going to have a hard time closing open relationships... he's always going to be Jerry in the End.
I give it a generous 2 years.

He has a super bowl ring.
