Lol, I’ve been asking you this question for two days and now you want me to answer it for you? Lol, I feel like I’m in the twilight zone.
So when I said Jerry effectively relegated Jason Garrett to a walk around coach after seven years of flopping as a playcaller and OC, that’s not specific enough for you?
This is what you said:
AGAIN, maybe Romo slung the ball around because he had no O line hence the shotgun. Which was it and what year was the 85% shotgun approach? When was the last time this team was built properly on both sides of the ball? That’s not on the coach with the Dallas Cowboys. The only coaches who did have significant input were run off. Why do you think no reputable coach wants to come here or stays here? These players aren’t hand picked by the HC a la the Patriots. Jerry was doing it for years and still has a say. I don’t think McClay is bad but I also don’t think he’s all that.
Constantly abandoning the run? How did Murray get so many yards? What about Zeke?
I’m not sure what you’re talking about with the Giants. I only mentioned them in reference to Eli having a horrendous O line while not being hurt and them drafting a RB so high when they still don’t have an O line. Neither statement was complimentary.
You claimed that the only reason Romo was operating out of shotgun so much (you also ignored that when Garrett was here we were bottom of the league in play action) because of our OL and it had nothing to do with Jason Garrett’s coaching. You then proceeded to use examples of Callahan coming here and when Garrett was effectively removed from the equation by Jerry, meaning you don’t even know what your taking about.
As I said, Garrett brought Houck here and Wade wanted Solari, the latter using zone blocking schemes that Dallas eventually went with when Callahan came, who even Garrett feuded with despite the fact Bill built the line and the running game. Garrett only coached and played under man blocking schemes with huge lineman, which is what Jerry spent millions for to get. So even our OL was built to tailor to Garrett.
So your whole contention was wrong. If it makes it any easier for you, 2012 was Garrett’s last official year as play caller. After one year of Callahan with his zone blocking schemes and new RG and Romo getting his new contract, Jerry made Callahan play caller. Garrett kept failing and it’s the same year that Jerry removed the other Garrett brother from the equation as passing game coordinator.
But again Garrett kept interfering and Jerry said he was essentially play caller and it wasn’t fair to Callahan. So even 2013, it was a dysfunctional relationship that Jerry tolerated with Garrett. Hardly a case of an owner ‘neutering a coach’. Any other coach doing such a thing would be fired from the get go.
So then Jerry went and got Linehan because of the similarities in offense and then said Garrett would no longer be touching the offense at all and would be in an ambiguous role. So again, any other coach would be fired, but not Garrett, because Jerry lives himself some Garrett and will do anything to make it appear like Red Ginger succeeds even after he completely failed as a HC and OC.
This idea Jerry neutered Garrett is a joke. If anything he’s spent years trying to save Garrett from himself, because Jason is basically like his adopted son. Jerry only took power away from him, because of how incompetent he was at his job.
