Yeah, it's that other Roto I was thinking about.

They screwed up a few times.

I just don't see Garrett getting that job with his past history with Scott Linehan.

I might be wrong, but I just can't see that they will go with anyone who has connections to him.

You guys are correct. I mis-spoke in saying the same for Rotoworld.

I just don't see what Garrett has done to warrant the offers. He's been an OC two years. We had one good year out of those two and much of that is due to Romo starting a full season for the first time.

Not saying Garrett won't be a good HC in the future, but right now, he doesn't have much of a resume.

Anyway, Garrett has proven himself to be a failure on every level.

Playcalling ... Fake reverses on 3rd and 1. Nuff said.

X's and O's ... Other team's players mock him. Ours openly question him.

Leadership ... His unit openly fractured and splintered into cliques. They also openly called him out in the media.

Adaptability/Flexibility ... Losing a middle of the road interior lineman singlehandedly ruined his entire unit.

Player development ... Romo is actually worse today than when Garrett found him two years ago.

Teaching ability ... Evidently none of WRs knew where to line up or which routes to run. The pre-snap alignments looked like utter chaos with Romo directing everyone where they were supposed to line up.

Ability to get the most out of his talent level ... Somehow Anthony Fasano was able to be among the Top 20 TEs in the NFL under another coach, but Garrett ran him off because he couldn't him to even be a capable #2. We had to pay out the nose to bring in a #2 WR, because somehow Garrett couldn't find a way to make his offense work with just a Pro Bowl WR, one of the top three TEs in football and just a servicable #2.

Forming a team identity ... This offense has no identity. Supposedly we're built to power run because we have a big fat OL, except that Garrett has shown no committment to the power running game. So now we run shotgun formations an inordinate amount of the time with big fat offensive lineman who have pass blocking against speed rushers.

Balls ... He had a great homerun threat in Felix Jones and he was petirified to use him. He insisted on giving the MB3 25+ times a game. It took an injury to MB3 and Felix before he had the guts to even give Choice a shot.
I guess you're just a Madden player. ;)

He's a lifer. He played the QB position. He has been on winning teams.

He looks the part and he obviously interviews real well which is why he was offered the Ravens job last year. And the Ravens are looked at as a very sound organization by the rest of the league.

Given that the Rams ownership is up in the air, getting the HC position there is a bit riskier than some other places. New owner may come in and want his own crew in place. Might get the bounce quicker than deserved.

Dude, it's the Johnny Come Lately syndrome. None of these guys would have hired Whisenhunt in Arizona after the Steelers went 8-8 in 2006. They don't look at football knowledge, character, or anything like that. They don't understand stuff like that. They play Madden.


Do you enjoy being a hypocrite or does it just come naturally?

You would have to be a complete idiot to take Garrett if your choices were the options listed which is what i referred to in the beginning.

Take it with a grain of salt.

Notice Ray Sherman is NOT mentioned and we all know he was interviewed. Color me a skeptic of this.


Rotoworld is good. The one that's a rag is rototimes.

ESPN NEWS is reporting that Rex Ryan is the leading candidate for the Jets job.

The Giants' defensive coordinator isn't interviewing very well. If Ryan goes to the Jets, Frazier and Garrett go to the front. The Rams could look at Ron Rivera if they choose to do so. Detroit is going to interview Rivera.

The Rams like the Don Coryell offense. They have not forgotten their glory days in that offense. That is why Jason Garrett interests them.

You realize that when the Eagles Hired Reid and almost his entire resume was as a position coach and had never been a HC not even at the HS level

Some here seem to think that when a person is interviewed by a team for a head coaching position, that that is the first time the team or any member of the interview committee has ever talked to or found out anything about that person.

The NFL has a small fraternity of coaches that teams look at as HC material. They all know each well, know what they are about and have talked to dozens of people they respect about that coaches abilities.

Teams know a candidate backwards and forwards- their strengths and weaknesses -before they ever arrive AND the previous year's success or failure probably has little to do with their decision.

Is that why teams make such crappy decisions every year when it comes to hiring head coaches?:)

No, a lot of times those decisions are like the draft. Some decisions are good, some are bad. You do the best with the info you have.

Nobody really knows what is going to happen for sure - except the posters here, of course.:rolleyes:
