ESPN: Jason Garrett's Staying!

[Chocolate Lab]

Great. Now we're just going to have to go through this again next season.

And put up with this ridiculous mess all season.

Exactly.

Can you imagine if, Gawd forbid, when Garrett takes over he doesn't win as much as we did the year before?

What do we do then? Fire him, too?

Still not sure what's so great about Garrett. Someone tell me why he did such a better job than, say, Chudzinski at Cleveland.

But I guess he isn't a "hillbilly".

 

[Rack]

I know.

For a first time coach? No way.

First time coach? He's still the OC isn't he? At least for another year?

Oh, no. He's young and has red hair and uh...went to Princeton! So he must be a genius or something cause I seen a movie once where someone went to Princeton and theys was real smart like.

Now confirmed by KTCK...

Twenty minutes late...

I thought that was what the Ravens offered him as a coach.

If that was offered as OC money by JJ, that's even more insane and unbelievable.

So what do you think is the minimum Wade has to do next year to keep his job? Win one playoff game? Win the NFC Championship? Superbowl? Or is he out no matter what?

 

[Punkabilly56]

The question is how does the team respond to a lame-duck coach?

 

[vlad]

Wade is crapping his pants right now. Now I just hope Seattle or someone with a QB and a good team comes calling. Of course given the way Garrett blew chunks down the stretch...

 

[Carterdad]

...The Ticket just reported that Wade Phillips has been informed that Jason Garrett will turn down coaching offers from ATL and Baltimore to remain with the 'Boys....

THIS IS HUGE!!!!!

 

[SultanOfSix]

Oh, no. He's young and has red hair and uh...went to Princeton! So he must be a genius or something cause I seen a movie once where someone went to Princeton and theys was real smart like.

Or maybe he's been highly talked about and watched in NFL circles.

Just because you don't see the potential or possibility, people who are in the "club of the NFL" who are in the know may feel it's only a matter of time.

In an odd twist in negotiations, I guess Jerry also agreed to push Jason around in a wheelchair during the game.

Surprise, I'm a lame duck coach.

:laugh2:

That's a classic.

I like Jason but you can't tell me that half the other offensive coordinators in the league couldn't get as much or more out of Romo, TO, Barber and Witten.

All Garrett needs now is a fedora, and he'll be the next Tom Landry.

I don't understand why this makes Wade a lame duck coach...

Many teams have the next in line on staff and are clear about that...

We all saw how poorly lame duck coaches like Tony Dungy have performed.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Maybe he'll invent the flex offense!

Hey, it magically reappeared.

It's not that he isn't young and bright and has potential. The question is, is all this love with so little coaching experience justified at this point?

Jim Mora Jr. got more credit than he should have because he was young and, I guess, good-looking and "presentable" to fans and media. Gosselin has talked about how teams look for coaches like that who can be the "face of the franchise". But that doesn't make them better coaches.

I don't dislike Garrett, but he sure is getting a lot of credit that may be premature.

Meh.


Meh.
