An Emotional Reason for the Jerry/Jason Delay?

[PhillyCowboysFan]

I think Jerry is on the fence about Garrett. I think he also has a good reason to be. I know I am in the minority on this one.

Garrett made some bad decisions. He hasn’t been a perfect coach. He’s too robotic. But he has had the Cowboys in the hunt every year.

Maher missed field goals this year. Moore has brain farts as OC, Zeke fumbled around a critical time, Marinelli sucked as a DC, Amari has a deflection interception. If any of the foregoing were not the case we would be in the playoffs yet again.

Yes all of those things could have would have but what about that his team rarely gets up for big games and loses most of the games against good teams. His game day coaching, game management and half time adjustments are practically nonexistent!

I need a change!

Man . This is border line Kinky to outland embarrassing. I've been around for darn near a half century and NEVER seen crap like this. It's like the NFL version of Romeo and Juliet. I'm embarrassed as a Dallas Cowboy sports fan. Jerry needs to be put away somewhere. This is not normal for an owner to act like this publicly for a player much less a coach. It's comical-it's embarrassing. Just do what needs to be done-Jerry!

Jerry letting Garrett go in his mind is telling the world he was wrong. Garrett was the guy he strongly believed would develop into a great SB winning coach and Jerry could pump his chest that he found him. To me this explains why Garrett has been here so long and why he wasn't fired years ago. Jerry ego is the problem here and has been the issue since Johnson. Jerry has always wanted to known as a football guy and how better to prove to the world that he rolled the dice on Garrett and it worked.

Exactly

If Garrett is like his son, he is definitely the black sheep. He should have whipped his butt and disowned him for bringing shame to the family.

Who really brought the shame on the family? Me thinks it is the head family member.

If Jerry had a master he would say, "you have taken the pebbles from my hand. It is time for you to leave". Unfortunately, JJ is his own master.

Think of the ugly things Garrett knows about these philandering, drunken hillbillies.

Best they do this with great respect and care.

Saw it posted in another one of this forums threads . Garrett is " book smart" and he researched successful coaches... But in reality when it comes to " street smart" he's
lacking . He has the talent to play .500 ball but us old timers remember when 10 wins was not out of the question.

Check out Landry record from 66- 85 once he righted the team and before it tanked..... Thats consistency the likes of which built the Cowboy brand.

I've explained this to numerous people on this board over the years. Landry never had to "right a ship". He built an expansion team from the ground up in the days when the only way to add quality players was through the draft. In the 60's, it took 4-5 good drafts to build a winner. His situation in 1960 could not be any more different than the team Garret inherited in the era of free agency.

He's going to make Garrett wear a super fake mustache and assume the alias of Mario JG Jones and then hire him to a lifetime contract.

It has been said over and over that the Cowboys organization is run like no other. And that the Cowboys way is generally speaking, the Jerry way.
It has also been said, particularly of late, regarding players and coaches that Jerry is far too emotional. He builds relationships and then let’s those relationships form bonds that cause him to make sloppy decisions, like keeping Maher 7 weeks too long because he’s a nice guy.
Knowing that he has a long history with Garrett, has referred to him “like a son”, do you think it was simply a desire of an emotional Jerry’s to not associate Jason Garrett with “Black Monday” in any way shape or form? Whether it be because he doesn’t want Jason to live with the stigma of every Black Monday remembering this one or his own reasons of not being able to deal with it?

Emotion has categorized this relationship from the very beginning. The emotional bond between the Jones and Garrett families. There has always been this picture in the heads of both sides that together, the two families would build a football dynasty. That's why the boys got jobs with this team when nobody else wanted them, as players, and then in the office. Jason, Judd, and John. They all got jobs here because of their name, just like those with the last name of Jones got theirs.

Ours is a monarchy, not a meritocracy.

Just read this and it comes down to the process. Exit interviews. Player evaluation etc

3 Superbowls and 5 billion dollars worth of shame. That's a lot of people's.

Agree. Still think his coaching/innovation was a big reason we made the playoffs. Other teams in the Garret era have rebuilt under the same conditions, and enjoyed playoff success e.g. San Francisco, Green Bay, Philly...

Me too. Mr .500 creates anticipation that we have turned the corner, only to be let down.

 

[mahoneybill]

Landry wasn't working with a salary cap.
There's one team routinely beating the 10 win fence since and they have been caught cheating 2011 times.

It is far easier to suck or a decade than it is to be great for one.
This is a parity league.

Agree, but still think Landry with his innovations/ true coaching kept the franchise going.

 

[mahoneybill]

I think Garrett biggest problem is being friendly with team. I like a guy like Parcells who the players have a bit of fear of him. The players like Garrett but they have no fear of him. I think a little fear of a HC is a good thing
That how you get the best out of players

Agree, and instilling a fear of failure. Once that is gone its just show up and collect your check.

Jerry also saw Baltimore and Atlanta wanting him so he decided to " wildcat" once again like he did in his oil business, hoping to hit the motherload in a coach.

What we got instead was Mr. .500

Oh, there is no excuse for Garret. JG isn't good enough to even be on Landry's staff.

This stood out to me:

"This is what you do in a family business. And no matter how many billion this franchise is worth — the latest calculation by Forbes puts it at $5.5 billion — it remains a family business."

But I do think that this article is right on the money. This is a difficult but necessary parting if the ways for all parties involved, and so it is being handled with as much class and respect as they possibly can. And if that takes more than just one day, it takes more than one day.

Garrett is Rasputin. Jerry is Tsar Nicholas. The Cowboys are the Romanov Dynasty.

The Lessons Of History.

True. The league always jumps on something that appears shiny and new. What the league didn't know is that Garret had Tony Sporano on staff who was doing all the game planning in 2007. JG never had an offense of his own.

The one quality Jason does have in spades is charisma. He is apparently quite impressive in interviews and Jerry bought his BS hook line and sinker for 12 years. .......and it looks like he still doesn't want him to leave.

Right! I said it in another thread. I think it’s as simple as yesterday’s meetings were basic roster evaluation/player meetings. Today is some of the same but with coaches. He’s still under contract so they are doing it by the book. I think they also have a coach ready to go
