Lol...You're so naive, it's been reported over and over that Romo was barely around when he was hurt...lol
Romo wasn't helping Dak cause we was going Linehan's job. Sanchez was the one being praised for helping Dak. So. If I'm the head coach and we just went 13-3 with a rookie at QB I'm hiring Romo as an OC and Sanchez as a QB coach. Just saying. If it ain't broke dont try to fix it.

Romo was not putting in no gameplan in 2016. He wasn't around. What part are you missing...lol

The same excuses other QBs aren't allowed to use. Romo played his own role. He couldn't finish.
True. The FO needs to see and remediate deficiencies. I believe Romo as a QB was capable of getting us their but the team wasn't. And that's on the FO and coaching.

I can say about Garrett what I can say about any and all of these HC's, I don't know what they do when not on the sideline in a game and am not sure what some, including Garrett, do then.

I have a hard time seeing any NFL HC walking around the practice field and leap frogging his coaches and showing them how to do the job he hired them to do in front of his players. Most of these guys when they get to that role, except those pulling double duty, are more big picture, admin and the spokesperson for the team. Except the Cowboys have co-spokepersons.

I don't know how many of the positions Garrett can coach but his main job and the one I hold him at fault for is the in game sideline decision maker for the team. I do not doubt he sees what we see when it isn't working, I just don't know if he knows what to do and am not saying I do either and honestly, he has a lot of company in the NFL coaching fraternity or 20-25% of them wouldn't get canned every year.

What some of the more vocal Garrett critics fail to take into consideration is that in his time with the Cowboys, we could have gone through two other coaches with the same or worse results. The assumption that we would have done better with another or others is nothing more than that.

One day fans from the other 31 teams will realize their team aren't the patriots. They can hope that their teams will set the bar to the patriots but realize they aren't going to hit that bar. Just hope they can come close.

The past 18 years they have been the most dominating franchise in NFL history and they're doing it in an era that isn't set up for that type of domination, which makes it that more impressive. Great owner, FO, HC and QB.
Im not going out on a limb here when I say that as soon as Brady is done... Belicheat will retire. I hope he doesnt, so the former Browns coach wil return. Great coaches all have one thing in common.... a GREAT QB.
George Siefert had the highest win % in NFL history at one time. Then he flew from SF to NC and on the way he must have hit his head on that plane. As soon as he touched down in NC, that SOB forgot how to coach. Craziest thing I have ever seen.

What is wrong with you??? being all rational and stuff. 21% of current NFL head coaches have a ring as a head coach. I guess that means 79% of them suck. Like you said, 20-25% get fired every year.... so are you you (not you specifically CC) trying to tell me that 25% of all NFL coaches just suck? Then damn, that must mean about 85% of FO really suck, because they are the ones hiring these guys.

Reid 1 boys.

All great coaches have great QB's.
it is my opinion nd will always be my opinion that great qbs make great coaches... not the other way around. Can avery good coach help a great qb come along? Absolutely, but Roger could have played on damn near any team in the NFL and he would have still been a great qb. Put the bottom 1/3 of NFL qbs playing during the Landry era on the Cowboys of the 70s, and Landry would have been just another avg coach.

So all of those games where they showed Romo on the sidelines that was just my eyes playing tricks. I guess it wasn't really Romo that asked for his job back. Since he was no where around as you put it.

Okay then, so the success and failure of the team can depend on who is behind center and not just on who is creating the game plan.
the best game plan ever created goes up in flames if you put the QBs we had behind(in between Aikman and Romo) center

All I'm saying is that Brice Butler's statement merits attention. Think about this Jason Garrett comes from the offensive side of the ball so he's supposed to be an offensive guru. Well if he's an offensive guru why was his offensive coordinator not plucked away from the Cowboys to be a head coach somewhere else? Since Romo has left Dak to Dez had become so ineffective that Dez had to be released. Linehan has been fired. And we are now struggling in the red zone. All while having a supposed offensive guru in our stable. So Brice Butler's statement merits attention.

Even Jerry, himself, has publicly stated that JG isn't doing enough to warrant an indefinite stay in Dallas.

That should be sufficient to get an approximate idea as to his status as the ongoing coach for that team.

Anytime our owner/GM makes a bold statement like that, it should be obvious that his future is in doubt.

I, myself, have seen Garrett proceed to direct his team into mediocrity long enough to know that it's real.

During the week, in the qb room, it was Sanchez. Go listen to the podcasts that Helman and the guys around the team during the time Romo was hurt and rehabbing those 10-12 weeks

In my career playing football, nobody asked me to do as much as a COACH did. I might be 3-technique, or a linebacker, or a linebacker dropping into coverage more than ever, or playing inside more than ever. I'll always remember how much I learned watching COACH in practice. He can coach any position as good as any position coach in league. He can walk around the field and stop drills and coach each position-at the highest level.

Are you asking if JG can do that or are you saying that JG does that? IMO, which just an opinion good HC's put good position coaches around them that coach the D-lineman, LB'ers, secondary, O-line, RB's, ||QB. WR's and ST players. What do I know? I'm just a hayseed farmer but I know how to find good help :)
