He inherited a team that just won a playoff game the year prior and was picked by many to reach the SB in 2010.
Don't forget the bad contracts and aging players part. Might as well tell the whole story.

He inherited a team that quit on Wade. Any team that quits will lose a bunch regardless of talent.
Jason earned the job after the 2010 season by getting what Wade couldn't.
Effort. Or did the team suddenly have a mass influx in talent right after Wade was fired?

We all expected more in the Garrett era than we did in the Campo era, because the teams were better. That obviously doesn't mean the product on the field was worse.
That said, if you're saying you've enjoyed the last three seasons less than the Campo seasons because of your personal expectations, I can't argue with you. That's entirely a matter of your personal preference. I can't imagine another fan preferring irrelevance to win-or-go-home. I can imagine fans making the case that they prefer it in order to vent frustration with the current product. But just because I can't imagine something, I guess it doesn't necessarily mean it's not real. For me, those Campo seasons--along with the Vinny Testeverde season under Parcells--were, by far, my worst seasons in memory as a Cowboy fan.
Random depressing fact: The last time the Cowboys went 4 or more consecutive seasons without a playoff appearance was from 1986-1990.
Bonus random depressing fact: The last time the Cowboys won a road playoff game (excluding Super Bowls, which are at neutral venues) was the 1992 NFC Championship Game.
Let's end both skids soon.

And was 1-7.

A 1-7 record that he had a hand in, or is that revisionist history?
Pathetic that this is what it has come to.
Either way the team was not going to the playoffs when JG inherited it. AKA not being a playoff team.
Exactly he was the OC who was under fire that season for his play calling.
It's been 18 years since the Cowboys played in a SB which is the longest SB drought in franchise history. It took Landry only 10 years to get the Cowboys to a SB after starting off with an expansion team that didn't even have a draft pick their first year.
No salary cap, tho

Garrett and campo are not far apart
Neither is an effective HC, the difference is that Garrett can talk the talk
The Cowboys were an expansion team they were not "rich" big spenders.
