ANYONE still want Garrett to become HC?

[NextGenBoys]

Yes.

Way too many people are bashing him when in reality they dont know what they're talking about. Is there some validity? Of course. But for the most part people are *****ing about nothing.

I would gladly welcome him as a head coach.

 

[windward]

I was way early on the Red Jesus bashing, not so much because he was terrible, but because he was overhyped before he deserved it.

But I don't think he's a bad coach. I think that once we get better weather, our O will show itself again. And I expect that to happen this week at home, because the weather should be perfect.

As for head coach... I don't want to think about it. I'm still hoping we go on a run here and our coaching staff stays the same next year. And that could very well happen.

CL, I won't be terribly depressed if Garrett gets a HC job and we nab Norv as OC. Likewise, if JG stays, I'll be cool with that as well.

I want Wade back. We've made too much progress defensively to can him.

 

[zrinkill]

Yes

He will be a great head coach one day.

 

[windward]

Yes

He will be a great head coach one day.

He reminds me of Gruden. That's intended as a compliment.

 

[Zaxor]

Absolutely.

I remember a Cowboy team that got annilated by a lowly STL Cardinal team... if it can happend to the GREAT Tom Landry in his 18th year as Head Coach it can happen to a Jason Garrett...

I also remember poor performances from a Bill Walsh offense...Paul Brown had some bad offensive days so did Vince Lombardi so did Don "Air" Coryell so did Bill Wilkerson so did Chuck Noll, Don Shula...etc... In fact I can't think of one coach who was perfect they all had bad days even in Shula's undefeated season there was bad moments...

What the uck do you people want.

 

[Dodger12]

I don't and I never did unless he proved himself. He definitely hasn't proven himself.

Bach, whether we think he deserves it or not, JG will be offered a HC job and Jerry will have to make a decision sooner rather than later before another team scoops him up. JG will not stay with this sinking ship as an OC while HC opportunities pass him by. The man is not stupid. He's been a hard worker and winner who knows what it takes.

What would you do if you were him? He let Baltimore go by the wayside and they're having a good year with a young QB. Sign JG as the next Hc and give him a long term contract. I want youth, stablility and continuity for Romo's sake.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

No thanks. i was never real high on the idea of Garrett as HC anyway and now I'm more convinced I wouldn't want him as an HC. I'd rather they made a play for Cowher or Holmgren or someone like that.

 

[superpunk]

I think he might make a good head coach.

I think too many times people make the mistake that "Good Coordinator/position coach = Good head coach."

When Sparano was promoted to Offensive Coordinator, alot of people had a fit because Washington had just hired Saunders, and here we were promoting the coach of our WORST unit - the offensive line.

Not only was he a terrific offensive coordinator he has shown to be at least a pretty decent head coach so far.

So I don't think Garrett's performance as OC is relevant at all to whether or not he will be a good head coach. Much more important are things like;

Can he communicate clearly?
Is he a good motivator?
Is he respected?
Can he deal with the athlete's across the entire team, not just the offense? Can he relate to the players? Do they trust him?
Does he have a vision for the team going forward? Can he comunicate that vision to the people who need to know?

If things like that can be answered yes, then it doesn't really matter if Garrett even knows the plays. That's why you have coordinators and position coaches.

*Nods* This is true. I'd never really thought of it like that. I don't know that it makes me want him as an HC anymore than I did before, but it is something to think about.

That's a real good post. Some thing to ponder for sure. I would still like some one who has experience. Windows open and close so fast for some teams,
I think the Boys are one of those teams that doesn't have long to get there.

If we were in rebuilding mode I would think more about a coach to grow with.

I just miss Joe Avezzano. Although he has got to be about 65 by now.

This is an outstanding post.

Proof that avoiding lettuce is wise.

 

[aikemirv]

I am not done with Wade yet. I think he has actually got this team playing pretty well despite the loss. That said I would not be against Garrett being Head Coach and bringing in Norv as OC.

JMO.

 

[Arch Stanton]

I wouldn't throw him under the bus....he's already there courtesy of you know who.

I've always liked Garrett, but I'm not sure if its his time or not. I was impressed with what little I saw on HK. Eventually I'd like him as HC.

This is a great post.

And since I think Garrett has about a 99 percent chance of being the next head coach, I'm throwing in with him.

Some excellent points. Good post.

 

[thewireman]

I laugh at the people that think just because Garret is having an off half season that he isn't head coach material. Just because your good at being a OC or DC doesn't mean you'll be good at head coaching, I'm sure theres more than a few examples of this. Like wise theres no reason a moderate OC/DC can't be a good head coach. I think Garret would be a good coach, and if he had guys that he wants running as DC and OC then there the ones that will make or break a team. Ask Jimmy how he fared in Miami without his guys with him

 

[thisisepic]

Everyone also seems to forget just because you're an OC doesnt mean you get to call every play how you want. The HC has the final word.

Then again Garett probably does call them how he wants after that huge salary was given who am I trying to fool.

 

[AKATheRake]

Yes, I do.

He reaks Hos! I'll take Spagnuolo, McDaniel and even LeBeau over him right now. At least those 3 know how to adjust and get their players to play to their potential. Jerry's Kid just doesn't have it anymore, everyone knows his next move.

 

[khiladi]

The fact that this offense seems to always be rushing to get guys lined up properly with Tony Romo snapping the ball at .5 seconds left tells me that this guy has a long way to go to be a head coach....
