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.
