ESPN: Jason Garrett's Staying!

[SultanOfSix]

No, that was a different play.

It's not irrelevant. It was a stupid playcall. It put us in a bad position and wasted opportunities.

Well, then what 3rd and 20 play are you talking about and if it wasn't in the last five minutes or so, how was it a bad play call?

Similarly, when was the 2nd and 2 call? To me, complaining about a draw that loses (if that is what happened) at maximum four yards is stupid.

As I mentioned in another thread, there are reports that the team came out and practiced very well throughout the week. The team was prepared as they could be by the coaches. They didn't execute; shockingly so by the offense.

I didn't see this as a shock, after the way the season ended how did any one? For what ever reason people thought you could flick a switch, you can't.
Very, very few teams can.
Belichick said it best when asked about running up the score.
He said he took his foot off the gas once, and was never able to get it back.

He might've shrugged it off to the media, but I doubt any HC who wants any credibility would shrug it off to his team. And from what I've read, there were players who mentioned that the Wade constantly brought up the fact that SD were in the same position last year at 14-2 and choked it off in their playoff game. Who knew that Dallas would do it too?

There were weeks of signs. They must have ignored them.

I said that's a common perception among people I know. It's also mine. Maybe he's a fiery beast in the locker room but I don't see it. Do you? Listen, I know he's a likable guy by all accounts, but sometimes you must lead with a firm hand rather than stand on the sidelines and cheer.

I have seen many different style of coaches win SB I don't think his demeanor or personality has anything to do with us winning or losing. BP was hardnosed and the team lost as well. I love BP and was glad he was here but I don't buy into the notion that 1 style is right and the other is wrong because you have many different personalities throughout the NFL who have had success and won SB's from Dungy to the crying Vermile. Lastly I think Wade does deservers more time just as any HC would get. This was his 1st season with the team and while we did lose a playoff game this team did show progression

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I really had no doubts. Ever.

1. Jerry brought him home last year
2. Garrett has a chance to complete is legacy in Dallas
3. The money will always be there
4. Garrett has a good team to work with
5. A 2nd year working his system - should be grand

Both coaching opp's only benefited those teams -

Balt = had no offense - Garret could fix
Atl = had nothing going for them - he could only make them better

 

[SkinsandTerps]

What was it like when Greg Williams signed on to do pretty much the same thing?

Gregg Williams was signed to be the Assistant HC Defense, basically a fancy title to be the DC. He was not signed to replace Joe Gibbs.

I could see it happening because of his experience, but he could have left years ago. If anything the 2006 season hurt his chances of security (same could happen with Garrett).

I expected Garrett to strike while he was hot, but if Jerry is going to pay him as a HC, then why should he leave ? Rarely blamed and fat pockets. Win/win for Jason.

NBC BREAKING NEWS: Jason Garrett Reportedly Staying In Dallas


POSTED: 10:29 am CST January 17, 2008
UPDATED: 10:56 am CST January 17, 2008



FORT WORTH, Texas -- The Baltimore Ravens issued a statement Thursday morning confirming that Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has decided to stay in Dallas.
The Ravens said they are continuing their second round of interviews for their head coaching vacancy. The Ravens added that they are excited with the candidates and are confident they will select the best head coach for the team.
"We did negotiate with Jason Garrett to become our head coach. In the end, he decided to stay in Dallas," the Ravens said. IBSYS.ad.DartAdStrategy.renderAdBeforeWindowLoad("DartJavaScriptPosition","square",{"abr": "","addlSz": "","adId": "false","adParent": "adsquare","adServer": "http://ad.doubleclick.net","adZone": "","adType": "adj","beginDate": "","dcAdPosition": "","dcopt": "","endDate": "","excludeCategory": "","iframeWidth": "300","keyName": "ibs.dfw.sports","name": "square","ord": 0,"pageType": "detail","pTile": "","qString": "","retroQueryString": "","segQS": "","siteLifeUser": "false","sz": "300x250","tile": 1,"useSection": "sports","useId": ""});
On Wednesday, Garrett spoke with the Baltimore media, and sounded optimistic about the opportunity.
"Everything that I've seen since I've been here has been really off the charts. So, it's been a great day and I'm going to continue through this process that I'm in right now and at some point we'll make some decisions on both sides," said Garrett. "But it was a great second visit with these guys and I really enjoyed the process of doing that."

Video: Garrett Speaks With Baltimore Media
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who hired Garrett last year before hiring coach Wade Phillips, apparently convinced him his future was just as bright with the Cowboys, who are coming off a 13-3 regular season with eight of his offensive players going to the Pro Bowl.
Should Garrett have accepted a head coaching position, the Cowboys would have lost their top two offensive coaches after offensive line coach Tony Sparano accepted the position as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins earlier this week.
Garrett is widely considered the Cowboys' next head coach. Speculation is so intense that Jones held a news conference last week in part to shoot down talk that Garrett would be promoted if Dallas didn't win the Super Bowl.
Jones denied he would move out Phillips and promote Garrett after the Cowboys' season ended with a 21-17 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday.
Garrett is expected to speak with the media at 2 p.m. Thursday at Valley Ranch

Well he did kinda throw Crayton under the bus, but it was only a slight shove.

True. And he took the blame himself. So I don't know exactly where this "lost respect" would come from.

Well, then what 3rd and 20 play are you talking about and if it wasn't in the last five minutes or so, how was it a bad play call?

Similarly, when was the 2nd and 2 call? To me, complaining about a draw that loses (if that is what happened) at maximum four yards is stupid.

http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/playb...by_play&season=2007&week=POST19&override=true

The 3rd and 20 was a bad playcall because we could have tried to get 5-15 yards out of it and then had a 4th and medium to long. If we would have got 10 or so yards out of the 3rd down play, we wouldn't have needed to punt and could have used the 4th down.

It was actually a 2nd an 1 call.

If we could find a fifty percent Parcells and a fifty percent Phillips we'd have this licked.

As long as teams are willing to take chances on college coaches... Jason will have MANY chances to be a HC in the future.

I think its nonsense that it was "now or never for his HC opp"....

The iron will get hot plenty more times before he is 60

You suck at teh internet

 

[zrinkill]

I did not think there was any difference in what Wade said than when Parcells said "you are what your record says you are"

I think the only difference was one was said with an angry steely glare and the other with a "good old boy" shrug.

 

[cbfan55]

You suck at teh internet

Thanks!

 

[SkinsandTerps]

Thanks!

He wasn't kidding.

 

[iceberg]

But I thought he was overrated and the next Mike Martz :bang2: ?

well i thought everyone wanted to rush to bills side because they love him so much!

yes, that's extreme sarcasm but it's the same we get from the bill defenders on every front. 'see - this guy wants to work with bill - he's loved!!!"

it's amazing how personal we get into lives we don't even know sometimes.

if this is true - great. i don't want to lose garrett so soon into a 3 year plan!

 

[YosemiteSam]

Great. Now show me where they were #1 all season and fell to #10 because they wore down.

I didn't say all season. They were either #1 or top 3 a huge part of the season only to fall off and finish 10th.

I couldn't find a site that actually listed their weekly rankings specifically, but you can view each teams weekly yardage totals here. I didn't feel like spending the next hour totalling 32 teams and 17 weeks worth of data just to proof a useless point.

 

[iceberg]

You suck at teh internet

and the 3 letter words seem to confuse you. glad we're pointing this out to the posters!

amen to that. as usual when you try to fix problems, you go to an extreme to get it done.

parcells 1 extreme. phillips the other. hopefully we'll swing back to the middle some and garrett is that guy to be laid back to ease the tension but a foot up the hiney when needed.

I understand. It would suck for you to total them all up and only find out your were wrong.

He wasn't kidding.

Didnt say he was. I just dont let things like that bother me, I may suck, but Im here
