Alright Jason, here's your real chance

[CowboyChris]

Garrett was once stripped from play calling duties, why go back to that? besides he's too smart to put his neck on the line cause he knows if he fails, he wont have a scapegoat.

 

[Brax]

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...

JJ said JG is good it's not his fault he needs to correct a few things, the team will be really good.

 

[CATCH17]

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.

Witten was done. He had been done.

Dez put up 70 and 850 last year in this offense. That's actually incredible.

With Dak and Linehan that's like 110 catches & 1300 yards anywhere else.

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.

Lol...he visited with Saban plenty.

 

[Sledgerc]

Jason is a very smart man. There is a high probability that he is back next year. As noted in the off season he gave up any input into the offense this season. It went all into Scotts hands.

I believe Jason saw what was coming down the road. Knew that it was gonna be a transition season. He smartly did not fight giving everything up to Scott. I'm sure he made a point in the front office of stressing that they had him give up any input in the offense and it was all Scotts. It was the front offices decision while smirking behind his hand.

Right now I'm sure that when the Jones's come to him he says with great virtue, this is what you wanted. God how he must be laughing inside.

In the end I think Scott is gone and the clapper lives on.

 

[ConstantReboot]

Campo was the worst, in every way. I'm not sure anyone could be worse than him.

Well Campo is gone. Garrett is a now problem. Because Garrett is a problem now he is worst.

 

[G2]

I don't think it's the worst in the Jones era. There have been some awful teams. Right now, we need to fix the offense.

Scott is using Jason's playbook. Jason also was the sole reason why Linehan is here. Thus I don't think Jason is very smart at all.

Visiting with a basketball coach?

That explains a lot about the current state of our team.

Coaching is coaching, many teams use coaches from different sports as sounding boards, especially Championship coaches.

I know, it was a joke, but what my original post was referring to was visiting with other successful football coaches to pick their brain on X's and O's, etc.

Again avoiding the real Elephant in the room.....Lombardi couldn't win with that QB you have in your signature photo..................enough of the Dak-executions already!!!!

Fake news, that is not the Cowboys playbook, how do I know, too many vertical routes...

 

[CCBoy]

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.

One might also compare differences between coaches that were available to the Cowboys...kind of like when Jimmy Johnson was having his team 'saved' by the Coordinators that were finally brought to the front on both sides of the ball:

Late in Sunday's game, the Fox broadcasters talked about Seahawks offensive line coach Mike Solari. Cowboys fans might be interested to know that Solari was Garrett's top candidate to replace Frank Pollack, fired after last season. Solari was apparently on campus, but the Cowboys didn't lock him down. He was quickly hired by the Seahawks and the Cowboys scrambled to hire longtime Bengals offensive line coach Paul Alexander. Everything was fine until we started seeing this O-line getting overwhelmed in losses to the Panthers and Seahawks. It's one thing when a rookie left guard is getting blown off the ball, but why is All-Pro Zack Martin getting shoved back to his quarterback? There are whispers that I'm hearing that Alexander has taught a completely different blocking technique than what players such as Frederick, Tyron Smith and Martin learned under Bill Callahan. It seems crazy you would make fundamental changes to the best aspect of this Cowboys offense.

This is the part that falls upon Jason now, as with his 'new trend' directions...good bye, Dez, Jason, Tony, et al. A 'new' offense?

 

[Future]

Campo was the worst, in every way. I'm not sure anyone could be worse than him.

Campo's teams never had talent.

JG has squandered talent. JG is absolutely worse.

 

[Jake]

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.

My issue with Dez and Witten being gone are the clowns Dallas signed to replace them.

 

[TexasHillbilly]

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.

You really gotta wonder if Tony would have lasted and if so, for how many games. He was getting knocked out of games quite often. I think we would have been in the same position.
