Lee is to the D that Romo was to the O. Losing Romo made our O take a step backwards. Losing Lee will be the same. It's crazy that our older players can contribute more to their respective groups than the actual coaches.
The mantra to "just have to play harder and execute" begs the question "execute WHAT exactly?". If only the HC wasn't so in love with his own voice and platitudes and paid more attention to his X's and O's.
Romo said on the broadcast of the cowboys chiefs game last year Garrett is not a scheme coach, he is a motivator.
I honestly do not know what he does and if what Romo said got back to him that had to sting.
After watching all or nothing rich bisaccia seemed like much more of a motivator than Garrett.
I honestly have no idea what Garrett does for this organization other than keep the Jones’s comfortable and put a professional spin at his press conferences, essentially he is a much better speaker than anybody in the Jones family and he represents them well.
Romo saying that really is a big deal to me. Back in the offseason of 08-09 wade wanted Dan reeves to come in and help Garrett, it makes perfect sense now.
Jason Garrett has a very similar career to his old coach in NY Jim Fassell. The only difference is when fassell lost control of the team in 03 and they could t overcome a few injuries he got fired after his 4-12 season and the giants hired Tom Coughlin.
In Dallas Garrett had a similar season in 2015 which was his 6th as head coach going 4-12. I think gassed went 4-12 in his 7 th season.
The final two games the team was a joke. Instead of a house clearing we got ol continuity jones. This coach then Proceeded to turn his back on the guy who took all the bullets for him for years in Romo.
Garrett always associates himself with saban because he was with him for a year but he is basically just like fassel and especially after seeing all or nothing.
Both had a good year and then a bad year. Both were about the same age at this point of their career, they have almost identical records and postseason records. Fassel at least took advantage of having home field in 2000 and went to the super bowl.
Luckily for all of us though the good ol boy family likes having an intelligent spokesperson to speak for them so we are never getting our Tom coughlin.
