But I think that was more of Jimmy not wanting to run Marino off. But that may be just me.Jimmy could not pull it off in Miami under the salary cap.

Garrett the worst of the bunch by far!!
Guess I've seen 'em all now.
Pro and anti Dak groups.
Even a Jerry support family.
But was not aware of the negative Jimmy crowd 'til now.
Wow.
Free country and all I guess.

Second worst behind Dave Campo but to be fair to Dave he didn't have much talent on that roster, nor a QB..
And that’s really a good measurement of Mgmt or coaching. Are you in a better place when they left than when they arrived?Of course this completely ignores what the coach inherited. Parcells took over a laughing stock. Maybe the worst team in the league. Fat Wade took over a young playoff contender.
For as great as Jimmy was I'm not sure he could have done what Bill did here. Jimmy had full personnel control. Jerry was a non issue while he was dealing with the financial recovery of the franchise. Bill had to rebuild that mess while working with and massaging the egos of the lunatic and his incompetent son. You'll never convince me his time here was a failure. He left us much, much better off.

There’s only been 3 HC’s in Jethro era who have left the Cowboys with more talent in better position than when they took over. Jimmy, Bill and Jason.
It took him 3 years to rebuild it. And I’d argue 2014 was perhaps the best team in the last 15 years. A catch that wasn’t from a championship appearance.That’s hilarious trying to include Garrett like 2019 was better than 2011. That’s quite a stretch even with a decade to do it like he wasn’t a major part of that train wreck in 2010! lol
JJ great failing is poor talent evaluation.Garrett was prime example. I think JJ saw Garrett as a copy of Sean Paton the HC who got away. All the lite weights JJ hired for whatGarrett also had 3 straight win and in season ending games. Of course lost all 3.
Then later on he had another win and in, and lost, it may have been 2 more, can’t recall right now.
Anyway that is pretty bad on top of everything else.
After his 3 straight 8-8 and win and in losses he should have been fired then.
Jerry is his own worst enemy on that loyalty. I think this was more when the real frustration set in for the fans.
The dolphins these days would love to get what Jimmy gave them. He didn’t win a SB but he wasn’t even close to being a failure either.Jimmy didn’t do a bad job in Miami. He didn’t reach a Super Bowl, but he did better than many of you give him credit for. He walked in to a salary cap problem and he left Miami with a great defense. He was there for four seasons and the team was in much better shape when he left there than it was when he arrived.
1000% agree!!Of course this completely ignores what the coach inherited. Parcells took over a laughing stock. Maybe the worst team in the league. Fat Wade took over a young playoff contender.

If we’d of broke thru in any season from 2014-2018 divisional round history could have been written much different for Garrett.
How many of those 8 coaches would have been hired by other teams? Jimmy, Parcells obviously. Gailey was hired by the bills. But the other 5? Garrett can’t even keep a coordinators position. Campo was never a HC again at any level.

Since when do we start blaming asst coaches for HC results?That’s hilarious trying to include Garrett like 2019 was better than 2011. That’s quite a stretch even with a decade to do it like he wasn’t a major part of that train wreck in 2010! lol
