Archer: How similar are Jason Garrett, Pete Carroll?

Wasn't Garrett the assistant head coach the year the team quit?

Yes, but I am sure the same strong and meaningful messages he is preaching now were just overwhelmed by the unstoppable and overpowering personality of Wade Phillips that dominated everything we did back then.

How similar are Jason Garrett, Pete Carroll?
February, 4, 2014

By Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com

IRVING, Texas -- Maybe Jason Garrett is more like Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll than we know.

The Dallas Cowboys' coach doesn’t chew gum like Carroll. He’s not as rambunctious on the sidelines as Carroll. He doesn’t count Macklemore as one of his buddies.

But in searching through the Seahawks’ media notes, I came across a section dedicated to Carroll’s beliefs:

Philosophy: It’s all about the ball -- “You win by taking care of the football,” Carroll said.

Central theme: Competition -- “Practice is everything, it’s where we make us,” Carroll said.

Team rules: Always protect the team; no whining, no complaining, no excuses; be early

Style: Great effort, great enthusiasm, great toughness, and play smart

It’s not exactly new stuff. Every coach at every level says these things, right?

Here's my question- If Garrett coached Seattle, how well do you think they would be doing?
If he had their talent on his team.
Would their defense be worse? Would their offense be better?
Would they even make the playoffs?

Yeah and he was backup quarterback one year when the Cowboys failed to make it to the Super Bowl in the 90s, therefore it was his fault, right?

Come on.
