If Garrett ever felt some pressure in his position as head coach...well, it would be right now. Right now is the most pitiful offensive production during the era of Jerry Jones...culminated in this past game in Seattle. For anyone not seeking solice in a number of explain away reasons, that was a culmination of ten games of futile offensive effort shown by the Dallas Cowboys. Blame it on the offensive line; blame it on a 4th round selected quarterback; blame it on receivers and tight ends with absolutely no hybred fiber in the lot; or an injury demon attacking the Dallas Cowboys alone...choose what ever shadow one wants to hide in, but the deal is this: Responsibility rests upon the desk of Jason Garrett.

One can not delegate responsibility for complete and total scheme failure beyond the shoulders responsible for that actionable status - Jason Garrett.

The one thing he can not attempt to do, is delegate the responsibility for failure onto anyone's shoulders but his own. It has been the working philosophy for Jason to live to fight another day, but now, he has run out of days to run. The truth of the matter is this, the bread crumb trail now leads to his own front porch. He can either seize the bull by the horns, or get run over. His day of reckoning, or even destiny, is NOW!

Jason was originally brought aboard, to be an Offensive Coordinator. If he didn't learn his task well, then Jerry has, without doubt, pushed the wrong horse into the starting gates...from the start.

Now is the time, for Jason to stand up and be counted for as a plus for the Dallas Cowboys! He can remain a mystery that is seen clapping his hands along the sidelines...and continue to delegate to another, the excuses, or take charge himself. It's time to start showing some dominance, not a generalized survival ability to outrun a certain amount of excuses.

What is it that I suggest here? I without change, suggest that Jason assume play calling and confront the ghosts in the closet. Calahan's professional relationship with him, does not walk on his own toes as Head Coach. What could be worse, than the proven directions taken by the team, with the same person calling the show...and that not resting at the top.

Assume your role Garrett, or end up with a show that rates below the Cowboys very first season in - on the carpet success. At least then, the team had very little legitimate talent to put on the field.

The ball is in your court, Jason, whether you are brave enough to grab it or not...

Uh, Jason...if that didn't soak in, let's put out a temperature gauge on current playoff indications:

...The 1-2 Cowboys have scored 41 points and allowed 53. Plugging that into the formula results in a 5.6-win projection for the Cowboys, which should (be) good for a Top 6 pick in the 2018 NFL draft.

And in case you were harboring any hopes of a quick turnaround, know that the 41 points scored over three games makes the Cowboys offense the second-worst unit in the NFL. They are not going to be able to simply flip a switch and start scoring 30 points a game from Week 4 on.

There is of course some hope that the Cowboys might be able to beat the 1-2 Lions next week, but unless they beat Detroit by two or more TDs, the Cowboys win projection won’t rise much beyond eight wins, and that’s factoring in a Cowboys win...

The situation isn't dire enough yet for this to happen, and believe you me, Garrett does not want to make this change. He's smart enough to know full well that he failed as play caller first time around, and if he fails again, then he's likely out the door. I don't think he wants to go back to that unless it's the absolute last gasp, job-on-the-line call, and I don't think Jerry's at that point yet.

Besides, have you ever tried clapping while holding a laminated play sheet in your hands? It's not easy.

his mistake was to hitch his wagon to Dak when he had the choice of putting Romo back (if its true). Dak is not good and Garrett made him the starter. that's on the coach.

Jason will go down with his philosophies that require the team to rely solely on talent and execution.

He has failed to embrace the scheming side of football and it will ultimately be why he is let go.

Stubborn coaches like this just stay stubborn.


That's why when JErry told us about all the new things we would do offensively and how we didn't need Dez all you could do is be a homer and buy it or laugh.

Jason was never going to break from his comfort zone and decade of tendencies.

Now instead of Dez Bryant and Jason Witten he will have to rely on Deonte Thompson and Geoff Swaim to execute his offense. Good luck.

You ever read those stories of NFL coaches visiting college coaches (or vice versa) in the offseason to study their schemes, talk football, swap ideas?

It was pretty routine a few years back for some of the top NFL coaches to spend a few days with Chip Kelly and pick his brain. Bill Belichick famously did it and incorporated many of his spread/no-huddle concepts into New England's game plan.

Have there ever been ANY reports of supposed offensive whiz-kid Jason Garrett doing such a thing? Expanding his horizons, visiting successful coaches and studying their techniques?

I can't say with certainty it's never happened, but I've definitely never heard of him doing it.

You criticism of the coaching is warranted. On the other hand if you think Dez or Witten had anything of value left to contribute to this team you are sorely mistaken.
