Coaching staff

[halcyon]

Let me preface this by saying that I have supported Jason Garrett and I like his even keeled coaching style. I am not sure if with the owner the Dallas Cowboys have, we would be able to have a better coaching option long term.

Having said that, I cannot fathom how, with the talent level the Cowboys have (and I am not quailifing it; but the offensive and defensive lines are average to good at least) the Cowboys have not been able to win at least 2 out of 9 games that have not been staretd by Romo. Sorry but that should fall squarely on coaching (and yes, quarterbacking evaluation re Weeden).

Further, to rely on Romo going forward (and I not saying that the Cowboys should release or trade Romo) is in my view, plain suicide.

Lastly, we know what we have in Matt Cassel. I would go to Kellen Moore if for nothing else, to know if the Cowboys have something in this guy, or rather if they should be looking for two quarterbacks next year.

There goes my 2015 rant.....hoping for a better 2016....

Defense is not the problem outside of the safeties. The offense is too predictable. Can't convert 3rd and 1, can't run the proper route for a first down. Linehan's days are numbered.

While I see Linny getting the boot, I will not buy that it's all his fault. This has more to do with JG's influence and his offense. Linny is just calling the plays for him.

My fear is that Romo wants this offense and will tell Jerry to stick with it.

Its not his fault. Its being forced to coach in this antiquated scheme, and Garretts stubbornness thinking that we just have to win individual matchups. Its extremely irritating

I'm not sure any of the big 3 coaches are in trouble (maybe Linehan) but the coaching changes will come at the position level. OL coach Frank Pollack (disastrous job) WRs and the DB Coach all should pack up their office an standby for there pink slip.

Coaching staff

Unless changes are made at the top, it is rearranging deck chairs.

Jerome Henderson should be fired or reassigned 8 weeks ago. How it is possible that with 3 weeks left none of the CB has a interception. I know he's coaching two bums but still.

Cassel is worse than expected because his arm strength is worse than expected.

He's not good at anticipating throws and you can get away with it with athleticism and arm strength, but he doesn't have either of those anymore.

The other way to beat teams with a backup QB is to force turnovers on defense. We can't.

I'm disappointed in Garrett. He seemed to 'get it' last season and now he's done more of a 180. More worried about scolding Hardy for saying 'guns blazing' instead of just ignoring the media unless they want to talk about football. And the positional coaching has regressed this year.

I think you keep Garrett around for 1 more year to see if he can right the ship. But, I have serious doubts about his ability to develop a QB when we get one to replace Romo.

I would start thinking about getting rid of Rob Ryan guys, particularly Jerome Henderson and maybe Matt Eberflus. No excuses for the lack of turnovers and inability to defend pick plays.

I agree on both points. Start Moore. And moving forward relying on Romos availabilty is just plain dumb. Draft a QB, get one off the FA market, whatever, whoever, but lets get somebody in here that has a chance to take over for Romo in a year or two.....

Something isnt right in Dallas. And despite what I have said prior to the GB game. I would rather start planning for next year. And getting a high round draft pick , makes next year better. Lose out.................................go ahead and hit bottom.

What would a win or two actually do for this team/franchise come next year????? --- nothing.

the last thing i want to see is Dez throwing up the X saturday night against the Jets...............................

That's like hoping the sun doesn't come up tomorrow

 

[halcyon]

I believe (unfortunately) that we will lose out.........so I guess the coaching staff will have time and chance to judge the players under difficult circumstances. ....

Jeff Heath leads this team in INTs. Let THAT sink in for a moment.

Yep, he is a special teamer at best and assistant high school coach at worst.

 

[CowboyChris]

Jerry needs to go ahead and turn the team over to Stephen, who should hire a GM to run the team. Which should include a new coaching staff, and this team must find a QB for the future this offseason, plus it needs a good veteran backup in the offseason also. We need to draft a RB, CB, finding a good blocking TE either in FA or in the draft. those would be choices heading into the offseason.

 

[SlwSVT]

The schemes on both sides of the ball are vanilla. We are out coached and out schemed week after week. The defense is so plain that we have taken good players and made them into non play makers. Instead of the team having an identity and sticking to it, we let other teams dictate us. Marinelli was so afraid of Rodgers, that he did not blitz and played more coverage yesterday. That is against a below average receiving core, below average offensive line and a RB who was benched a few weeks back. We played a nickel type zone scheme with 3 safeties in the game and got shredded on the ground. Even though the blitz packages and man to man were quite effective against the Commanders.

I promise we will be in the same position going forward with Tony. His body is breaking down and too brittle. He's been great, and I've been a fan, but it's time too move on to something new.

If Linehan gets the axe, it is Garrett protecting himself by rolling someone else under the bus.

Again.

He has a very sly habit of that. It is not exactly overt, but he has done it before. Wade Phillips still has the knife in his back.

What makes you believe he would?

 

[Hook'em#11]

The offense is fine. Was fine last season. The players are just not on the same page as last year. Romo is a big part of that. Both Cassell and Weeden aren't worth a darn. It's a huge drop off without Romo in there. Pass rush is getting better, but, still needs to be consistent. The O-line doesn't look as good as last season. It's just a bad season. Regroup, make a run next season.

DENIAL is not only a river that flows thru Egypt. Its also permeates through the Dallas FO and coaching staff.

I would not be surprised to think the main reason why Garrett does not address the 3rd and short problems that they've been having all year is because he doesn't want the team to know that its a problem.

He's an "all is rosy and nothing can go wrong so long you follow the process" type of coach. The FO believed it. Some of the players also believe it. But not for long. They can only do so much until they realize "the process" doesn't work in their favor.
