Fisher: Major coaching changes not planned

[Dave_in-NC]

If he doesn't care about those, imagine how bad the one's the Garrett family has access too...

Touché.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Right. Its too late in the game to root for any other teams. My joy as a football fan is relishing the misery of Eagles and Skins fans. Pathetic as it is its the state of things as they are.

And it's getting harder to do when this team is dropping to those levels.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Nothing is going to change. The injury excuse saves everybody.

 

[DenCWBY]

the coaching staff didnt break romos collarbone.

Ummm. With this offensive strategy, in a way you could say they helped.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Exactly.

So either suffer or find a new team. For me, being a fan of the Dallas Cowboys isn't a decision. It's who I am. I literally hate the other 31 teams. So I must suffer.

To be fair though, running a football team is fun.

At least some of us do remember what a first class organization looked like and enjoyed some SB championships. I feel sorry for the younger fans.

Naw, there will be some minimal changes. This way they can say upgrades in the coaching ranks were made.

Maybe the special teams coach. One can hope.

That and the guys who run the drinks out during TOs.

I don't think the money is that big of an issue.

If he thought another coach would get the team further, are we really going to believe that the man wouldn't pay $24M?

He could afford to pay 5-6X that amount every year and still lead the league in revenue.

True, and it's not like it counts against the salary cap. But it would be unprecedented in NFL history to make such a move. It would be a gigantic embarrassment for one, to pay a guy $24 million to walk away. Also, who exactly is going to come in that's worth anything and coach after the GM gives a guy a 5 year extension and then fires him after one year when the QB misses 12 games and the WR misses several as well? Jerry's meddling already constructs a big enough barrier as it is to hiring quality coaching talent. Sean Payton or someone of that caliber is certainly not going to come here if something like that goes down. It has dysfunction written all over it.

No, to calculate the odds of Garrett's not returning, all you have to do is go count the number of times in NFL history coaches have been fired with 4 years left on their deal, and then put a "percent" after it. There you go.

Who comes in? Someone who will take $3M per year? Someone who thinks they are a better coach than Jason?

Nobody even knows how many coaches have been fired with 4 years remaining on their contract. That's a nonsensical point to even consider.

 

[Setackin]

Doesn't make sense to change until there is a new QB

Makes more sense to let the new coaches pick their qb

 

[Beast_from_East]

Sean Payton hasnt won a game that Brees didnt start.

Drew Brees has never missed a single start since he signed with the Saints back in 2006..............apples to oranges comparison.

Belicheck went 11-5 with our own Matt Cassel for an entire season.........good coaches don't lose every game when they don't have their starter.

 

[ConstantReboot]

Making tony learn a new offense is probably one reason for reluctance to fire JG. No doubt. When the next QB is ready, a new offense should come with it.

I think firing JG is going to make things worst. But someone really needs to take his playbook and throw it into the dumpster. Its the main impetus in what is holding this team back.

I yearn for the day when Jerry would hire an innovative playcaller that can get Bryant open despite the double team and create plays that doesn't take an eternity to develop.

Garrett is not that type of coach. He is stuck on status quo and his stubborness is destroying this team.

What do you mean nobody knows? It's not a secret. Here's a hint. Try to think of one. Just one. In the history of the NFL. Surely you can think of one.

I'll even rule out the Cowboys for you. Wade, 1 year left. Campo 2 years left. Gailey 3 years left. Landry, 1 year left. 31 teams left, get to work.

I will even help out.................Tennessee Titans............Wisenhunt was fired 6 games into his second season on a 5 year contract.

That is basically 3.5 years the Titans just ate.

Not saying Garrett is going to get fired (he wont) , but eating 3 or 4 years left on a contract is not unheard of in the NFL.

4 is unheard of. 3 is not, though I would reckon there are only a small handful of them in league history. Dennis Erickson with the 49ers comes to mind as well. We are all familiar with Gailey who was a pretty weird case, as he made the playoffs both of his years here and Jerry even says firing him was a mistake. Gailey was also supposedly one of the lowest paid coaches in the league, so the financial sting was minimal. Garrett is probably in the top 10 in salary.

Yea, I don't think Garrett is going to get fired.

I think this year will be chalked up to injuries and Garrett will be given a pass. Probably a couple of assistant coaches are going to have to fall on the sword, but that is about it.

Now if we end up 3-8 next year then I think that seat Garrett is in will start to feel kinda warm. We have to make the playoffs next year, the only coach I can remember in recent history that had just 1 winning season during his first 6 years with the team and didn't get fired is Marvin Lewis in Cinci.

Is it that hard of question? You can recite the number of years remaining on the contract of any given coach who was fired? I guess I'm impressed.

Man, I hope there are some performance clauses in it that makes it that much easier to can him.

 

[khiladi]

The fact that Garrett has been here 8 years and the offense looks like trash is enough of a time period to understand this guy amounts to nothing.

The ONLY reason he is here is because of the Garrett attachment to the family and Jerry trying desperately to sell this as a move as his own brilliant idea.

He's officially gone crazy and is doing everything opposite to what good business is. Get Jason an office job in VR of you love him so much. Let him organize the TPS reports for that much money if you love him so much.
