News: BST: Maligned Garrett Entering Crossroads With Cowboys

[Diehardblues]

jones may keep him around for two more years even if he don't make the playoffs but I think the pressure from the press and the fans will be really intense if he does fans may start spending their money on other teams

Impacting revenue would definitely get Jerry’s attention.

 

[WillieBeamen]

In other words your looking for a HC that can overcome the good or better teams.

What good or better teams we lost to this year did you think we should have beaten with the active roster we had?

Denver comes to mind. Who else ?

Denver i wouldnt consider a good team

Packers
Rams
Falcons
Seahawks

That Atlanta game alone cost us a playoff spot. Same team Philly just beat with Nick Foles

I also think he settled on JG after going through so many HC in a short amount of time. After Johnson left it seemed we had a different HC every year. When the team gave up on poor Wade and JG took over the team steped up and I thought ok JG gets these player ready to play the game. Well that wasn’t true, what happened is JJ dropped a HC mid season and said he wasn’t afraid to drop some players also. The players got job scared and had to start doing there jobs. Now everyone has relaxed again. In order to keep there paychecks for another year or so they will throw each other under the bus. Lower level coaches this year and Linehan will get it next year. Maybe JJ cuts Linehan mid season if it’s the same Offense this coming season.

Jason isn't just not advancing in the playoffs, his game management skills are being exposed and the lack of creativity on offense, his supposed specialty, is being discussed and ridiculed on a national stage.

If they don't win a playoff game next year, I think that the people in Jerry's ear will push him to finally pull the plug.

Maybe Jerry will break it to Jason softly and write it on a cocktail napkin.

Jerry needs to go on Dr. Phil

So what you're saying is it's not based on results with you, it's simply just personal. You don't like Garrett for whatever reason to the point that you would give up 3 years of most likely being NFC East Champs.

The 12-4 seasons won’t result in anything relevant, that’s the point

 

[Montanalo]

They burned through Romo last few good years. They wasted Witten's last few really upper echelon years. They are wasting Tryon Smith's best years. They are wasting Lee's best years. They might have wasted Bryant's best years. And at this point, barring some change in heart by the Jones family, they will likely burn through the best years of Martin, Frederick, Zeke, etc. on this mediocre head coach.

It's depressing when you think about it. The Cowboys are near the top in the NFL in pro bowlers, All Pros, etc. over the last 8-10 years.......... and what do they have to show for it?

Zippo. Jerry and his management have basically just wasted great players we've had.

Bingo! Therein is the issue: above average player talent, including top-in talent at acknowledged key positions like LT, and average results.

And, it is not just the talent on the field. The Cowboys are the premier sports franchise in the world. They have absolutely first class training facilities along with an avid fan base.

Despite all these superlatives, JJ has stubbornly stuck to second class coaching. Other than Jimmy Johnson (who was unproven at the NFL level at the time of his hire) and Parcels, he has not hired a coach worthy of the brand.

It truly is sad.

The issues is NOT Garrett. How many Head Coaches have we had since our last Super Bowl? How much of a difference have any of those coaches made? Same results.

But logic doesn't say that. For a team to go 12-4 three consecutive years means that it's not a result of catching lightening in a bottle for one year; it's good team. Good enough to get to the NFCC game at least once, probably even the SB.

I understand the point that you don't believe the coaches are capable of getting to the SB, but that's not what was said. They would have to do what hasn't been done since the glory days of the 90's in which case they would obviously be capable of winning an NFCC and maybe winning the SB.

I'm not defending the coaching staff. I'm just addressing the illogical position.

 

[J_Allen]

Everyone else is turning their teams around in two years. This is year eight for Garrett. How in the world is that acceptable? Does Jerry know how demoralizing that is to fans? How embarrassing it is?

 

[G2]

It's a process

Yep. The Packers and Rams games were at HOME too and we had leads in both and blew it. Games we should have won, and while we can also blame Switzer for a big mistake in the Rams game, there were coaching gaffes in that game as well.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

This team isn't going 12-4 three straight years with Garrett. We are on the Garrett rollar coaster.

What good is those records, if we are gonna be one and done everytime.

This coaching staff needs to go. The sooner we do that and actually build an elite defense, the sooner we will win in the postseason

Why do we expect our HC to overcome the better teams? They are better teams.

The Rams and Packer games are great examples even when had Elliott we weren’t a good enough team. Why would we expect Garrett to make the difference?

If we’re relying on our coaching staff to overcome our talent we’re in big trouble .

Thats a big part of the problem here


Lack of talent on defense
Lack of coaching

We go in to every single game, at a disadvantage in the coaching department.

Does he toss the voodoo doll it the air, then catches it like a "clapping" motion?

Right before he butslapps it and pops it in his mouth 'n chew chew chew

Yes , and why we need as much elite talent as we can muster .

But the bigger point is how many coaches are winning games against more talented teams on a regular basis?The NFL is a talent driven league. If we assemble more talent in key areas we’ll become a better team.

Im not promoting Garrett is a good coach but your saying he is the worst in NFL? IDK..

 

[Diehardblues]

If you just want to Bash Garrett don’t let me stop you. I’m not here to defend him because his weaknesses are as glaring as our QB’s but I would challenge that he’s not as bad as some are claiming when compared to the bottom feeders in the NFL.

Would we like a greater HC. Of course. Is that a viable option with Jerry. I’m not sure? I measure Garrett up against our other puppets this era. He’s even done about as well as Parcells.

It appears to me our best hope given the dysfunctional situation we have under Jerry is to assemble more talent in hopes of overcoming Jerry, Stephen and Jason.

Placing all of our hope and energy on Jerry having some kind of Absolution seems to me a wasted effort. I’m trying to figure out what pieces within the roster will make us a better team with hopes that might be enough given our handicaps on the sidelines and in the booth.

OMG.. Now that I know the story behind your avatar, I can't stop laughing bro. You are an honorable man...lol

I try to be anyway.
