Broaddus take on Garrett being fired after this season

[Coy]

I know there´s been a lot of debate on if Garrett gets fired if they miss the playoffs, even though Jerry said he will be back I 2014 I think he´s outta here if they don´t. Saying that I think they win the EAST this year..
This is Broaddus take on the matter.

On to the head coaching situation, does Garrett need to make the playoffs to keep his job?

I think he has all along. I know the general manager/owner came out and said he was safe. Even if you listen to the owner talk the last several weeks since then, the stance has softened. They realize the division if there for the taking and you have to find a way to do it. Jason Garrett has had two seasons – the Giants game two seasons ago and the Commanders game last year – to get this team in the playoffs, to win the division. He hasn’t been successful. I don’t see how the general manager/owner could stand there and say, ‘ok we’ll bring you back’ if this team doesn’t get into the playoffs. I don’t believe that’s the case. I’ve never believed that’s the case. It’s a bottom line business.

As healthy as this team has been all year, if he can’t complete the mission then they’ll find someone who will. Garrett has to get this team in the playoffs or he’ll be looking for a job. That’s the way the National Football League is. Garrett knows it.



Does Garrett have to win a playoff game as well?

I think if he gets the team into the playoffs it would be a home game because they’d likely be the division winner. It depends on who you play. I’ve watched some of Carolina and they play great defense. Carolina, San Francisco. Who do they play? That’s what you have to see.

But if they do make the playoffs it will be deemed as an improvement and they’ll likely pick up the option and move onto next year.

edit: the thread title should say after this season.

I honestly think Garrett will be back regardless of if he makes the playoffs or not. I think the same goes for Kiffen.

 

[Doomsday101]

I agree and have said the same. I think for Garrett to keep the job he has to win, this team has to make the post season and at the very least play well and be in the game a blowout and he is gone. Jerry is no different than the other GM and or owners who will claim their HC job is safe only to turn around and fire them after the season. After all the GM wants to back his HC not put out a do or die message causing the extra distractions.

My hope is Garrett can get this team over the hump, the chance is there for the taking now is the time, I'm not concerned about 2 years ago or last year what matters is what he and this team does this year.

Agreed

 

[85Cowboy85]

I agree with you. I have seen nothing other then speculation by fans to indicate that either are on the hot seat.

 

[dbonham]

It's gonna be tough to get anywhere in the playoffs with the likes of SF, Seattle, NO, Carolina in the way. If we win the division and go one and done I think Garrett still keeps his job. If we miss the playoffs... I still think Jerry will lean toward keeping him unless we really embarrass ourselves.

Jerry Jones said Phillips was safe up until the day he was fired.

Fixed it for you.

Jerry Jones said Phillips was safe up until the day he was fired.

That was a unique circumstance. That team totally folded mid season.

Even then most of his answers were dodges. He kept saying he would wait until the end of the year to make coaching decisions. It was not an affirmative "there is no way we will fire Wade". The total lack of effort displayed in the GB game forced his hand and he had to act earlier then he otherwise would.

Who is this "Gerret" guy? Please don't tell me we fired "Garret" but hired his twin brother "Gerret" ... oh god.

 

[DallasCowboysRule!]

Jerry Jones said Phillips was safe up until the day he was fired.

The difference between Garrett and Phillips is that you could see that Phillips was trending down. That team was 1-7 and had obviously given up. This current team is 7-5, in the playoff hunt and has won 5 of their last seven. Not to mention that they don't give up when the going gets tough. You could easily make the argument that Garrett's tenure is trending up whereas Phillips' was trending down.

So we have a GM who put together teams for 17 years and those teams produced just one playoff win but he is going fire a HC just because he hasn't made the playoffs in 3 years? lol

 

[jobberone]

No one is safe. I still think he stays unless as someone said we get embarrassed from here on out. I personally wouldn't fire the guy after he last two years injuries to the defense. But I'm not Jerry. Jerry should be fired for not having a deep enough team to survive all this massacre (if that is possible). There are teams each year who fall off the perch because they just have too many injuries to overcome.

If we get embarrassed at some point then Jerry will struggle with it. I don't know Jerry and you can never get into someone else's head. But he's going to start thinking the right guy can come in and put us over the hump.....which is more likely to be a mistake than not.

They gave up vs the Saints

You just start following this team?

Don't be juvenile.

True but then this team is getting healthy right now. Ware claims to be feeling as good as he has at any point with the bye then the long week leading up to this game. Lee is back as well. I don't think Garrett can survive a 3rd season in a row of being at the door and not making it through and I do say this as a guy who is pulling for Garrett

 

[FiveRings]

Who is Gerrett? No I do not think he deserves to keep his job, I've never even heard of him! Stir the pot!

 

[TheCount]

IF this thing goes down in flames, yet again, he should absolutely be fired. That's just my opinion though, and I don't think Jerry shares it. I think Garrett is back regardless.

 

[85Cowboy85]

That 2010 team had all the pieces from 2009 that went 11-5 and was grossly under performing at 1-7. This team has 8-8 talent and is currently 7-5.

The situations aren't even close.
