Twitter: ESPN Insiders rank Garrett 30th out of 32 coaches

[cowboyblue22]

I think if he had a better gm and fo to work with he would be a better coach. I don't think he is that low.

His ranking would look really awesome if they turned that chart upside down though.

Well, BSPN does seem to have it's head up their arse most the time, so they are looking upside down, inside out? Just a thought.

8-8, 8-8, 8-8, = better?

Please explain or give us your definition of better. Thank you.

He's ranked 30th this year.

 

[Vinnie2u]

He should be rated 16th.. 8+8+8= middle of the road

Of course he would. Who wouldn't?

Jim Harbaugh's a great coach, right?

He would flop large here in Dallas. Be labeled a bum and cast aside within 4 years.

So how is that getting better?

I think Harbaugh comes with more gravitas and would be able to change the operating model. Parcells changed things

30. Jason Garrett, Dallas Cowboys (3.67 average)
It was tough for voters to give Garrett a high grade based on on-field results, but there was also a pervasive feeling that any coach would struggle to succeed in Dallas given owner Jerry Jones' leadership style and decision-making. Multiple voters thought Jones was the one responsible for the disastrous change from Rob Ryan to Monte Kiffin at defensive coordinator, for example. "Tough place, tough everything," said a longtime executive with a background in multiple organizations. "Garrett is a smart guy, but he doesn't reach everybody."

I'm not going to lie. That's me they're quoting. Good old DallasEast. Yes sir, I feel safe knowing ESPN will not reveal my identity. My comments about Jason Garrett are so devastating, someone might take offense to them and send me life threatening emails filled with hahahas and lols.

The use of unnamed source instead of a name for non-stories is pathetic.

If I have to 'splain it, its not funny.

Parcells had the stroke to demand some authority when he got hired. As we now know, Jerry had to have him for his stadium. You don't get Bill Parcells and treat him like Dave Campo.

Harbaugh was a wet behind the ears college coach. He'd have taken this gig with the enthusiasm of Jason Garrett and immediately emasculated just like him.

Factor in losing Romo for the deciding game for the division crown, and the worst defense perhaps in Cowboys history, and to finish 8-8 and one drive away from the division title was almost unbelievable. .

Yeah, unbelievable how bad our division is. He pulled off that 8-8 by going 5-1 against the division, 3-7 against everyone else. His 4-20 record against .500 or better teams is abysmal considering he has a .500 team himself. He should have won more of those games just by accident.

Do I think he is hampered by Jerry? Absolutely. I think the calamitous Kiffin and the Tampa 2 switch was all Jerry, and that is the biggest thing that will probably kill Jason's season and perhaps career here. In fact I think he will get another coordinator job once he leaves here, because as the article says most of the industry seems to understand that he is set up to fail here with the Jones Boys.

But coaches who make multiple, almost unfathomably bad game decisions every season that cost the team games deserve to be ranked toward the bottom. Jerry has nothing to do with those.

He would most likely be gone after 4 yrs as Risen said, but maybe in his Process we win something before he's gone.

Hey wait, I thought I was the one that said that?

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

30th is generous.

 

[pgreptom]

I guess you could side me with the anti-Garrett crowd. It's not that I'm excited to see him go as his replacement will just be another clown. But... I can dream.

I called dibs first.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Who's ranked below him?

Sean Payton and Bill Belichick.

Not all teams that have finished with worse records had stars like Romo, Dez, Witten, Murray, Tyron, Ware, Lee, Spencer etc. that´s why Garrett is held to a higher standard, as he should be, saying that, I don´t agree with the ranking, I´d have him in the 20 to 25 range because I really do think he is a good talent evaluator, it´s just that he is a lousy game day HC IMO.

Anyway, this is a new year, maybe Garrett can shut us boubters and BSPN up, at least I hope he does.
