All started with the disrespect of Bill Callahan

[Galian Beast]

Bill Callahan who isn't great, was still THREE times the coach Jason Garrett ever was. He should have been allowed to install his offense while he was here. We're still running Jason Garrett's garbage offense whether it be under Garrett or Linehan. This offense has no creativity.

I don't think you need to blow up this offense as far as the players are involved (not all of them anyway), you just need to start from scratch on coaching. Every single offensive coach should be fired including the rb coach. Bring some creativity here. Even when this offense was tooling it was because we had 1st round draft picks or pro bowlers littered at every position. Garrett has shown time and time again, he can't deal with having to use a back up player. That's why Jones was so excited about Prescott, we were winning despite a backup QB.

In reality, it started with the disrespect of Wade Phillips, but whatever...

Really? Jerry disrespected the franchise by hiring Phillips in the first place. And as great as you think Bill Callahan is, the Commanders have done squat since he went there and he failed in his head coaching opportunities.

 

[Risen Star]

Yes. The great Bill Callahan.

 

[Risen Star]

Ah yes, the great Wade Phillips too.

There aren't many people in this league that are exactly inversely proportionally good at being a coordinator and bad at being a HC, when he's definitely a top tier DC.

Wade is one of them.

I literally say Callahan isn't great and your quote is as great as I think he is? Jesus...

He was a great offensive line coach and he was a decent coordinator who had experience. Under the right circumstances, calling his own offense he could have done a decent job here.

Wade lost this team, partially because he should never have had it. Like you said he is a career DC and a good one, but the other reason he lost this team was because he was undermined by Garrett on day 0.

Ah yes, the great Wade Phillips too.

They both seem like a dream at this point........

It would take an offensive coordinator of a far higher caliber than Bill Callahan to consistently thrive in the environment created by this GM and his head coach.

Just think about all the coaches that we didn't want that we would love to have right now...

Sean Payton, Mike Zimmer...

Callahan was never allowed to install his own offense here, but as OC his offense ranked the following in points.

Year 1 - 15
Year 2 - 5
Year 3 - 5

Remember how great the legend Bill Callahan was in Oakland? He's an offensive guru. As evidenced by him currently coaching the OL in Washington. The league had to step in to maintain some kind of competitive balance.

Neither would make any impact here whatsoever. None.

Get a real HC in here, get the Oline back in shape, have the new HC bring in a receiver and TE and then lets see what we really have. If Dak continues to stink it up then no harm, no foul. He is either a backup or we dont renew his contract.

But I have a feeling that a real HC and an aggressive OC could do a lot with what is here. Add a piece or two and get rolling.

Didn’t it really start with the discord between Jimmy and Jerry? A winning combination that let their egos get the best of them. Jerry’s ego has grown exponentially with every billion he’s made.

Nope, when Wade left. Everything went downhill.

Yup. It all started when a HC couldn't pick his own OC that knew he was next in line. Everything since has been sabotage to save ones ***.

 

[AzorAhai]

I don’t know about installing his offense, but I do know that the line play has been eroding since he left and that the players brought in since he left have not met expectations.

Marinelli, Linehan, and Garrett all failed in their respective HC opportunities. So what's your point?
