Bring in Chucky

[Fletch]

For some of us, it isn't just a knee-jerk reaction. It's a priority.

Key words, "for some".

Give Garrett at least the rest of this season before that "trick knee" jerks.

 

[TheDude]

You're about a week late to the lynching, let's move on the next game. If it happens again this week join the lynching on Monday, don't wait til Friday.

Exactly.

There should be on thread for each topic stickied for the week:

Week 6 - Fire Garret
Week 6 - Trade Romo (and/or all other top tier)
Week 6 - Fire Jerry
Week 6 - Season not over, only 1 game
Week 6 - Fire Rob

Maybe that will not scroll the play by play, all 22s and others off the front page.

Coughlin as many HC have made questionable calls and done things the fans did not agree with. As far as the last game, would I have liked to see the Cowboys get in better range yes but I also know we were in range and the kick needed to be made plain and simple, that is what the kicker is paid for

I don't believe any kicker can consistently make 50+ yard FGs. Those are always a coin flip at best. It's the 20-40 yarders they should always make.

Yes, we can complain all we want and share our opinions, but no one should seriously be suggesting firing Garrett before year's end. That would accomplish nothing.

from 35 yard line I expect my kicker to hit it. As I said I would have liked to have gained a few more yards as well. Had we been able to run another play who knows maybe we pick up 10 yards, maybe we lose 10 yards, maybe we get flagged for yet another ticky tac foul which we had picked up though out the day. We can play the what if game all day long

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

If you want Garrett to be replaced then so be it but i don't know about bringing in a guy thats been out of football for what would be 5 years.

 

[Zordon]

give me cowher or gruden. whichever one will build a physical team in Dallas. that being said the only way i'd fire jason after this season is if we finish worse than 6-10.

51 yards is a career long kick for Bailey. Nick Folk probably would have made it.

 

[Blast From The Past]

After the Raven's fiasco, it is time to say goodbye to Jason Garrett. Time after time, he's shown that he has no clue how to manage the clock, or inspire his troops. Send Decamillas packing with him.

If I were running the team, I would be on the next plane to John Gruden's place, or wherever the next MNF game is going to be played & offer him double what he's making for 5 years. Just watching him as a coach & competitor, along with his interviews of QBs before each of the last few drafts, I would love for him to represent the Cowboys.

Gruden makes ME want to run through walls, & I'm 57! He can challenge & inspire at the same time. If he owns a watch, he can manage the clock better than Garrett. Most of all, he would bring back the intensity that has been missing in Dallas, especially at the QB position. Chuuckee! Chuuckee!

I would never wish Gruden to ever coach the Cowboys, totally overrated imo. JG needs a leash and no matter what he should get it. No thank you I'll pass on Chuukee!

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Would take Chucky anytime. He's won a Superbowl with Brad Johnson and barely missed another one working for a worse owner than Jerry. I think he'd have the personality to deal with our version of Al. Plus he'd be great with Romo.

That said, I'm sure it'll never happen.

51 yards is a career long kick for Bailey. Nick Folk probably would have made it.

Bailey had the distance and was a slight pull. I have no doubts he would make that kick more times than not. Still would have liked another 5 to 10 yards but I was comfortable that Bailey could make the kick.

 

[arglebargle]

Sorry, Gruden is no better than Switzer. He inherited a team someone else built, held it together for a year then slowly drove it into the ground.

Gruden's record in Tampa Bay after the first year:

2003 -- 7-9
2004 -- 5-11
2005 -- 11-5
2006 -- 4-12
2007 -- 9-7
2008 -- 9-7 (losing the last four games to end up out of the playoffs)

Gruden was re-signed for 3 years in early '08, and fired in early '09. He won the superbowl due to the Dungy built defense, having a better offense than Dungy (not difficult, Dungy played Parcells style offense, without the innovation), and getting matched up against his old team the Raiders.

This doesn't even go into his locker room coaching personality, which has some issues.

Signing Gruden just strikes me as a rookie 'Little Danny Snyder' move.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

With Bruce Gradkowski and a very washed up Jeff Garcia at QB those years.

Imagine if we had garbage like that at the most important position on the field.

I'm not saying Gruden is the greatest ever, but for our unique situation? I'd take it.

This was approximately two years ago, so I believe he might be ready for another gig soon..

ESPN analyst Jon Gruden's high-school age son, Jon "Deuce'' Gruden II, speculates that his dad could win up coaching the Browns after another year at ESPN.

During a podcast today on the Sporting Rave, the high school football player in Tampa revealed that his dad could wind up coaching either the Browns or the 49ers after another year in the booth.

"He was gonna let me finish high school,'' said Gruden II. "He was talking about going to San Francisco, but that’s really probably going to be in the next two years or something like that.

“He’ll probably keep the Monday Night Football job for the next year, my last year of high school, and then probably head out to a team like San Francisco or maybe Cleveland.”

 

[Venger]

Having heard Gruden call football games, I have no desire to put him as HC of this team. He has something diagnosable about him.

Props to Gruden for taking the time to be there for his son during his teenage years and seeing it through.

 

[Flinger]

You are my hero. Thanks for your reasoning ability and sanity...

 

[Prossman]

not about dumping garrett but chucky would bring a nice intensity to the cowboys.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I've thought Gruden was intriguing for a long time. And I think Tony would be killer in a WCO.

I like Garrett and don't truly believe he is the reason we are an under achieving team. However, I do think Gruden would cure a lot of our ills, mainly due to the preception that he's not a Jerry puppett. I don't even think Garrett is, but the preception is certainly out there.

 

[Risen Star]

Gruden sure didn't impress me his last years in Tampa Bay but I wouldn't be against that hire. He's got enough skins on the wall to maybe make the owner step back a little.

We'd still have a talent acquisition problem but I do think he'd command his own locker room. I'm not sure Garrett does. The more I see of him, the weaker he looks.

Plus Gruden vs. Coughlin twice a year would be the greatest coach face games ever.
