Sure but everyone and there brother has been standing around with shovels ready to bury Garrett for no other reason than he's Jerry's guy. I never seen a HC micro analyzed as much as him. The bad part is that he's probably gonna move on to another team and be successful. Rule number one is beat your division rivals and he's done that this year so far , I don't think Broaddus is taking that into account.. I can't see any coach being fired if they're beating division rivals. It would be more likely he'd be fired if what he's telling Jerry isn't adding up when they take the field. But there isn't a coach alive that could keep this defense healthy.
I've been one of the biggest complainers about Garrett since he was first brought on staff as OC before Wade was even hired. And I will be the first to admit that if/when he is fired, Garrett will go somewhere else and be successful. Just not immediately as head coach. The problem is part if this is Garrett's fault, but a lot of the problem is the system in place in Dallas.
My arguement with Garrett has been, is, and always will be that he has not had enough time under a successful system to really be sucessful in Dallas. Bringing him in here with limited experience and with the wacked out systems in place in Dallas only gives a green coach bad habits and gives Jerry another puppet coach. Now some will argue that he was here during the 90's glory days, but it's different being a player in a successful system than coaching it. I feel Garrett needs to spend some time in New England, New Orleans, Seattle, Pittsburgh, or Kansas City. Get under a coach with skins on the wall. Learn from the best and spend time honing his skill. Then he will go for that HC job and be successful. I believe a lot of the mistakes you see Garrett make at this point are due to his lack of experience.
I also believe the last thing Jerry needs here is a head coach with lack of experience (Garrettt, Chan Gailey), or a coordinator retread (Wade Phillips, Dave Campo). Jerry needs a coach here that he has to immediately respect, whether he likes it or not. It may not totally detain his mettling (T.O. and Parcells) but it will curb him just enough that you will eventually see success. That 2007 13-3 team was really Bill Parcell's team on paper, along with most of the coaching staff. Jerry needs a Gruden/Holmgren/Payton/Tony Dungy/Lovie Smith type coach here. One with previous head coaching experience, preferrably one with a a super bowl ring or at least been to the big dance. He would have to find a head coach that does not necessarily want total control over personnel but has a heavy say so since he has to get players that fit for his system. Also these type of Head Coaches will demand total control over the locker room. This makes Gruden, Holmgren, or Lovie Smith a perfect fit.
The perfect scenario would have been Holmgren came here in 2007 and picked up Garrett as part of his staff. By now, Holmgren would have been ready to ride off into retirement and then Garrett would have taken over the reigns well seasoned, and with the experience and systems he needed to be sucessful here. In my eyes, we have actually wasted 7 years trying to give Garrett on the job coaching experience and a million plus dollars a year . . . . . . To me, that was a foolish waste of money.
Anyway, that's been my spin on it since Garrett stepped back into Dallas coaching.
