Cuban Says Cowboys Should Keep Garrett

[Alexander]

.......Missing out on Dan Reeves as a "advisor" was a big loss a few years ago. I think he could've implemented a scheme and purpose into Garretts scattergun approach to an offenseive system.......

I still believe that Garrett did not want him around to begin with.

Definitely agree.

But Reeves would have brought that pesky 'running game' thing with him, and who has the patience?

"Ain't nobody got time for that!"

The same Cuban that had a coach that took him to a NBA Championship, fired him later and got a guy who won him the championship.

If you read the article Cuban is referencing not firing Carlisle for 41-41. Carlisle was already a Championship coach. The comparison is ridiculous.

Imo the Cowboys being mediocre only draws interest to his Mavs team. I think a few years ago Cuban was mad a JJ and the NFL because the playoff game and the Mavs game were occurring at the same time. He's always going to be second fiddle in Dallas even when the Cowboys are mediocre and when the are good? Forget about it.

Do you really think that Cuban has any interest in the Cowboys rising to prominence heck no, that would be bad for his business.

So Mark Cuban wants JG to remain as the HC of the Cowboys because he think that him being the coach will keep them mediocre.

Pretty much your take on Garrett, huh.

Interesting conspiracy theory. In any event, yeah, his take is pretty much the same as mine if you're not willing to buy into the idea that he somehow believes the opposite of what he's actually explicitly saying here.

   @fishsports @mcuban And defensive players are telling me HC has not lost the locker room. I agree with @mcuban
   
   

hmm when these two speak, you know the messaging is being put out there to expect garrett to be back.

LOL His squad was terrible. Avery's biggset downfall is he coached the Mavs like they were the Spurs team he played for. The Mavs didn't have the point guard or center to do that and still got to the Finals. Devin Harris looked like a legit All Star in this league in that playoff stretch as did Desagna Diop. Can you imagine having Tyson Chandler instead of Desagna Diop?

Terrible? The Nets squad was terrible, which is why they won less then thirty games.. Avery with the Mavericks, inherited a playoff team.

Brooklyn sucks as you can see they are the worst team in the league right now and did far better with Avery. And who had 3 HOF talents? Avery? Dirk and who are the other 2?

Because they got the actual Red Ginger as coach, Jason Kidd.. Plus, the Nets haven't been healthy the whole year, and let's be serious, none of their HOF talent is in their prime now. Dirk was in the youth of his career and prime. The year prior, Avery sucked as the Nets coach. He still had Lopez and Williams, though not 100%, in the Weak East.

A lot of those guys on that team were out of the league a few years later and not even in the prime of their careers. He had Dirk, Devin Harris, Josh Howard a past their primes Keith Van Horn and Jerry Stackhouse lol. They had no BUSINESS in the NBA Finals.

The problem with the Nets wasn't Avery. The Nets are the worst ran organization in the NBA......its them or the Knicks. I don't fault Avery for not being able to turn it around in a season or two while he was there.

Who was good in the West that time outside maybe the Spurs? The Lakers lost Shaq and it was followed by seasons where Kobe was threatening to walk, unless they found him some big name players. That was a stretch of bad basketball in general. And again, nine of these guys were stars, but they were above average players that provided a lot of depth. Guys like Terry and stackhouse could put up nineteen on any given night.

And Avery didn't turn around the Mavericks. They were already a playoff team with a Dirk getting better every year.

He makes some good points. I'm expecting a good performance Sunday night (even in a loss) and provided that expectation is met, I'll be fine on keeping Garrett for another season. There is no coach out there that is worth the risk - yet.

The only good point he makes is at the end where he admits he doesn't know anything about football. This is not hoops where you can have 3 stars and the team will coach itself. You actually need a cich that knows what the hell they are doing. We are no where close to having a coach like that. It is shocking how many people are comfortable with a perenial 8-8 team. Talk about a bunch of losers. It is unbelievable.

I don't know if you remember or not but before Avery emphasized defense we were one of the worst defenses in the league. No coincidence that we got to the Finals with him.

And Golden State abused that pretender defense... Again, don't get me wrong, he ain't Ginger. Ginger is more akin to Jason Kidd.

He's got Jerry's back. 2 spoiled billionaires.

 

[Fletch]

Sorry, his points are utterly stupid. They went 41-41 because Cuban was cleaning up the roster for making moves for big free agent signings. That's why they didn't make a play for guys like Chandler, that were instrumental in their wins. In fact, they have one of the best coaches in the game and the fact that they got to that record, when Dirk was hurt the season missing games and never fully himself is what is impressive. Additionally NBA is about getting that big free agent signing of which football is nothing like. It's a more star driven game then football.

And again, the article simply points out the contradiction. Cuban fired two coaches that had them in the playoffs. And that too with players like Nash as well. He can say what he is saying now with Adelman, but it means nothing in respect to reality.

Additionally, he says it coming off a Championship win and knows what adelman can do. Garrett's been failing miserably.

Dumb article..

Failing miserably is quite the stretch. Failing miserably would be Gary Kubiak, Dave Campo, or Wade Phillips last season in Dallas. I don't think Garrett, since becoming HC has had a near completely healthy team to work with.

 

[Fletch]

If defensive players are saying he hasn't lost the locker room, that gives me hope, because most likely, he's lost the locker room.. To be honest though, Garrett isn't going to lose the locker room when the players realize they still can qualify with a win. They are too busy thinking about that then anything.

To see if they lose the locker room, you'd have to see their reaction if they are losing badly.

Okay, now you're just pretending to know what the players are thinking. lol

Jerry responds:

Jones was read Cuban’s comments and had the following response Friday morning on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM].

“Certainly I have a lot of respect for Mark,” Jones said. “I will assure you that I can and will make mental notation of all of those plusses that he’s talking about, particularly the relationship of the coach with the team and its status.

“I will go ahead and tell you Jason has this team, and he has the respect of the team. He has a good, really good charisma with the team. It would be right at the top of the list of his plusses. Just as important in my mind is that we all know where he is in his career. We all know that frankly, Jason had not coached but maybe two years before he came in to coach as coordinator for us, and he’s been on a stepped-up plan. He came in very early in his career as a coordinator, a play-caller, and obviously he came in very early in his career as a head coach in the NFL and the Cowboys. Now, that’s quite an investment that we’ve made in him, because we all know you don’t hit the ground running.

“Everybody knows you make mistakes. Having said that, they were made on our watch. They were made at our expense. Now let’s take advantage. We paid for it, let’s take advantage of what he’s gained and how he’s evolved as a coach. He’s a better coach. There’s not one thing that I’ve seen in where he could improve – and I’m talking Jason Garrett – that is terminal relative to him being an outstanding head coach.”

In case there was any doubt Jerry plans on keeping Garrett, that quote removes any doubt. He showed his hand pretty clearly there.

We're eight and seven against the spread. I don't have a great impression of the guy but he's made a lot of money.

for most people, thats not the case, for others, its the thrill of making more. And gambling is a big thrill for many people. Than again, we gave a few "easy picks" so it wasnt really gambling, but still. Trust me, Cuban will never have enough.
