The ball is in Garrett’s court to prove that he can lead a team to significant playoff wins. Making an NFC title game could go a long way to change people’s perception of him.
Agree, that is how you ultimately judge Garrett. But to a Head Coach is like the CEO of a company, he doesn't do the marketing or accounts receivable. He brings guys in or works with his Board (the Front Office) on these moves.
The Head Coach/CEO has to put a solid core together first and he has done that. He came into a team that was a 1-7 disaster and then had some 500 teams, but in the last four years they have built a very solid core. They were 12-4, then had a 4-12 season when the Franchise QB went down, which sinks anyone. Then 13-3 and he was named Coach of the Year. Last year had all the problems with the Zeke Suspension and injuries and they were still basically 500. This year they overcame a ton of problems to win 5 of their last 6 and are basically a lock to make the playoffs.
All of the following can be true -
Garrett has plenty of faults
Garrett has a .560 winning percentage as HC, better than average
Garrett has lead a young team that is clearly on the upswing.
