Coach thread

[Dave_in-NC]

That's so weird. Last year when we were winning, it was thread after thread touting Linehan as the genius behind our success and JG was just the walk-around head coach who was merely a glorified cheerleader.

Now, since losing Romo and Dez just coming back from a broken foot, it's all Garrett's fault.

You guys are hilarious!

Last season was as close to having the triplets as we may ever see again. Even Switzer won with them.

I never believed that one man made this football team go, now I do. And he doesn't wear a headset.

Coach Clapper is killing me. When you are coming off four losses in a row and possibly facing five...


YOU DON'T PLAY CONSERVATIVE.

You play to win the freaking game not wuss out and try to play not to lose.

You are absolutely right. I can't stand Garrett anymore. I'm taking a break from this team. I'm going to be busy with work and my free time isn't going to be wasted on Sundays watching this team. We can all name players that have disappointed us this year and that list is starting to get pretty full but this losing streak is on the coaches. Cassel sucked today but he couldn't throw interceptions so they went Weeden conservative. Might as well of played him again because it was obvious they weren't going to let him lose the game. Garrett got lucky last year. He's mediocre at best and get rid of Linehan. I am sick of that idiot too. I've been watching this team for almost 40 years and I'm just sick of the same old thing. They have a good season and then they follow it up with a bad one. Or just go 8 and 8 for 3 years. This team still commits stupid penalties. It NEVER changes. It never fails. They'll be driving and then a false start or holding. So what does Garrett do when that happens? He claps. I don't even enjoy watching them play anymore. So I'm taking myself a little break from them. I would tell all the other fans to hang in there but all that will do is lead to misery

For all you Garret haters, please go root for a team that has the IDEAL COACHING STAFF you desire. I for one don't want nothin to do with fellow fans who misguidedly blame the coaches for losses that really fall on the shoulders of piss poor QB's and an idiotic Front office that refused to sign a proven Backup QB the past 2 years...

Garrett is above criticism. He's never at fault. He's the only head coach in the history of the NFL that isnt responsible for anything bad that happens. Most would think that is mind boggling good fortune, but in reality he must have the absolute worst luck of anybody that has ever coached.

For all of this talk about Garrett THE GM though, why is Nick Hayden still playing big minutes on this team? Is there really not a better option at S than Barry Church? Unbelievably, they even managed to find backups who show even less ability than him.

 

[WPBCowboysFan]

JG has pictures of Jerry in compromising situations.

He must have way more than that. Anybody can google and find those in 30 seconds.

Hayden's actually been pretty effective this season. He made a couple plays again today, too.

No way... we ran the ball 3 times after blocking a kick. with all the momentum, and 7 min left. It was so predictable i called it before the drive. Garrett is conservative. he plays scared. How many trick plays or fakes has he ever called? Today was the first one i remember. How many plays do we run that use misdirection or a smoke screen or a pick? It's unbelievably consevrative and uimaginative

Funny, that "unbelievably consevrative and uimaginative" stuff sure did seem to work last year. Wonder what all the complainers were saying then? N did you watch the game last week? Lucky Whitehead ran at least 4-5 times on the little reverse, idk what more you want, you want us to start running a triple-option/wildcat hybrid? Unfortunately, no amount of trickery will mask a BAD QUARTERBACK in the NFL.

you missed the biggest part,believing Weeden can play.that cost us this season.

The pom pom waivers just don't quit.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

It's all Romo..

We know that now.

Our offensive coaching staff is the worst in football.

Wait what?

Seriously, Hayden and crawford suck. Teams have no problem running up the middle

 

[Idgit]

The pom pom waivers just don't quit.

Or, you're picking a bad time to make fun of a specific player.

I got no dog in the Hayden fight. I've just noticed him making some good plays this season. Including the 2 PDs from the ATL (?) game a few weeks back. And some tackles at the line today.

If you want to make your point, back it up, at least. Anybody can spout out a bit of popular nonsense and then try to turn it back on anybody who disagrees with you. But to actually be right about something and prove it....well, try it, sometime.

 

[PoundTheRock]

Linebackers are getting crushed and we consistently have safeties having to making tackles on running plays. DTs are "effective" though.

 

[Sydla]

He also got dominated at times by an inferior Seattle OL.

He's an average player and he wouldn't start for any contending team.

Someone needs to whack Marinelli over the head and make him realize you can't just throw a warm body at the 1 tech.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but is this Larry Lacewell?

He is not even average.

 

[Sydla]

Garrett has had one good year his entire coaching tenure here. one.

And some of you act like he's a legend above reproach. LOL.

Honestly, I haven't looked at the tape closely enough to argue. I'd be happy to say so if he got trucked today. Most of the 3rd quarter my satellite dish was hopping around, anyway. I just saw him in on some key stops, early. And I thought out defense was really stout overall today and think Hayden's generally been pretty ok all year up until now. But if you guys know better with actual plays, I'm all ears.

I was one who was a big fan of Garret but I'm starting to lose faith. After the Hardy super play and not scoring a TD is ridiculous. But I'm losing faith, or lost faith, because I'm seeing now that Romo has made a below average coach, or maybe not even an NFL head coach, look good. Romo has that effect on this team. Garret, Beasely, Twill, Escobar look as though they have no business being associated with an NFL team without Romo. But we all know this. As the great Parcells always said you are what your record says you are. Garret is 0-5 without Romo. That's unacceptable. After a while the excuses run out. Garret can not make adjustments. We're running the same plays and they don't work. Try a different play. Other teams lose players to injury, even their qb's and still find ways to to win at least 1 game in 5. We choked away the Giants, Saints, and Seahawks games. All of those should have been won but we lost due to mental errors or coaching errors. Both are coaching issues.

I'm losing faith in Garret. Garret is a great draft guy but he's a bad game day coach. Romo balanced that out. Without Romo, Garret is exposed for what he is. He's a smart guy but not a great X's and O's coach and looks more like a fan on game day than a coach.
