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...
