And there is ample evidence that it takes a certain kind of coach to find success under Jones. Garrett is only the third one Jones has found since buying the team, along with Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells, and he has now shown he can last longer than either of them, apparently with far less friction. Jones values that. He demands to be the face of the franchise in a way that no other owner does. Garrett has no problem with that, a rare quality in a profession that is full of towering egos.

I guess this guy forgot about Chan Gailey, he had 2 playoff appearances in his 2 years here.

SIng with me "One of these things, is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong....."

Jerry and Stephen have lost their minds. Money is better than Super Bowl Trophies nowadays. Cincy was always cheap under the Brown family and they have No Trophies. The Jones should be embarrassed for keeping this "Great" HC. We will soon be the Joke of the NFL.

Hard to believe he had us one screw job play from the NFC Champhionship game just one year ago isn't it?

Cowboys did that in spite of Garrett, not because of him. Same situation as Switzer taking over the most dominant team of the era, if not of all time. It took only 3 years for Switzer and Jerry to drive that team into the dirt.

Garrett took a team that went to playoffs in 2 of 3 years then life coached it into the epitome of mediocrity. Romo, Murray and the OL were the drivers of that 12-4 season. Romo is more of a coach than Garrett will ever be.

At this point you have to look at that 12-4 season as an outlier............1 occurrence out of 5 attempts........clearly the exception, not the norm.

8-8
8-8
8-8
12-4............made playoffs
4-12

So the beginning of free agency and the salary cap didn't have anything to do with the depletion of talent on that team?

Look at the incoming talent from the 94+ drafts, it's outside of Larry Allen, it was very very poor drafting. The 89-93 teams had turn over but had incoming talent to replace it.

OK but how does that address my post?

Every team was playing within same rules. Green Bay, New England, Denver, NY Giants, Baltimore, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh were able to stay consistently in championship contention since then. Seattle and San Francisco with Harbaugh are recent contenders as well. Add Arizona, maybe even Carolina, to that list sometime soon. All these teams have been to the SB multiple times or very close to it. Salary cap era or not, other teams have created a culture and expectation of winning, such an environment has been devoid in Dallas since Jimmy roamed the sidelines.

How many times has the Cowboys been favored to win it all in last 20 plus years? Perhaps once or twice with Wade and ONCE with Garrett after an outlier season. No one has high expectations for the Cowboys for a reason.

So your saying it takes 17 years to adjust to pick a decent QB and that too in the late rounds because of Sean Payton?

If free agency is existed, Dallas was also a player in it. They could have not only drafted talent, but brought talent here.

I don't get your point?

Funny how Garrett homers argue we should be patient with him, but say Wade lost the team after half of one losing season, when Garrett's offense had 19 TOs in 8 games..

Where was the 'patience' then, especially after 3 winning seasons, a play-off win the year before and two division wins?

Where was the patience with Callahan running the offense in 2013?

Cut the BS... Garrett is trash and the only success Dallas has had with him is when they take more responsibilities away from him..

There is no direction in this organization for them to have a process.. Changed to a 4-3 and have man corners, but brought in Marinelli..

Tried to run a two TE offense based on what NE did.. Drafted TEs and didn't use them..

This clown has no idea what he's doing..

Andy Reid bounces to KC and they are in the play-offs and competing every year in a tough division.. That's good coaching..

It took Garrett 5 seasons to understand how important the running game is to a successful offense AND defense. It took him 3 seasons to realize he sucked at play calling and he's still working on his situational awareness and time management.

And I'm not sure if Garrett is capable of grooming a STARTING QB, never mind a franchise QB, since he's been a complete failure in developing a BACKUP quarterback in his 6 years in Dallas. I mean, this is the area that he should excel, right?!?!

Garrett had nothing to do with it. When Rob Ryan was fired, he said it was TOs and that the offense needed more chances from the defense. He didn't point to the running game.

This is the same story-line he used this year, the lack of defensive TOs. Forget the fact his offense committed over 30 TOs this year. Look at the TOs during the years Rob Ryan was here.

Garrett use to hide behind Romo's alleged reputation of not protecting the ball back in the day, but this year when playing conservative and trying to run the ball, his simplistic offense produced TO after TO. It's always been that way, because his offense is predictable and easy to read. Everybody was it, but Jerry just doesn't listen.

Further, I think we only scored like one TD in the red-zone over multiple games. Embarrassing.. Never mind that Garrett consistently got worse in worse on red-zone scoring, the more he got in control over the years. He has never improved as it relates to his weaknesses. He's not even aware of them because he's clueless.

This offense is the most incompetent in the NFL and it's amazing what Romo has done with it. It took until 2013, for Jerry to have him in game planning meetings, when Garrett didn't have him there.

Wade wanted Dan Reeve here when he wanted them to run, but Garrett still doesn't know how to blend a passing game with running game. We've been among the last in the league in play-action calling. Nobody stopped Jason from running the ball whenever he has full control either.

Callahan built the running game and after one year, Jerry was making him play-caller, taking responsibility away from his genius HC.. That would only happen of Bill was making his mark.. Then Garrett sabotaged him and got Linehan here.

Jason Garrett's hiring was the absolute worst decision Jerry Jones has ever made for this organization.

Uh, every other team had the same rules. My point was that the influx of talent coming into Dallas was much less than the level of talent leaving Dallas. The person in charge of finding and developing talent changed, not league rules, that's a scape goat for Jerry's poor job as a GM during that period.
