Garrett’s Message

[Hawkeye19]

“Get better every day” “Learn from mistakes” “stack good days together” “be the best we can be” etc...

All his poster-board slogans aren’t “wrong”. The issue is and has always been a lack of execution and zero accountability for mistakes.

It’s mind-boggling to me that someone who graduated from Princeton, has been around the game for as long as he has, is this incompetent and this out of touch with his roster and what they need. He witnessed Jimmy’s style and how it won two SBs for crying out loud— you’d think he would have learned a thing or two from Johnson in that stretch lol...

He only knows to clap and encourage. A leader knows when to break out the lash. Garrett has never figured that out— and while his players and everyone thinks he is a nice guy— he has simply never grown as a leader to the point where he understands his responsibility as a HC: the buck stops with you. You gotta own the role and take the heat when your team is getting ripped publicly and demand excellence from everyone in the organization if you are going to collectively reach your goals.

People criticize the stubbornness and arrogance of this staff... they are right to do so. His refusal to adapt his methodology AT ALL in the face of poor results is pretty damning.

I've seen the exact same poster slogans in elementary schools .
& i agree,
You will never find one that says:

"Be accountable for your work."

It’s not mind boggling at all
It’s called life
Look around you, there are talkers and there are doers
Garrett is a talker

I have been searching for a better descriptor for Garrett. I think you hit it with the Tony Robbins comparison. Good show

“Learn from mistakes”

Does he have an ETA on when he will get clock management figured out?

100%

There is a hell of a lot more involved in being a HC than trying to be loved by your players. In fact— your job is to teach them respect.

Respect themselves as professionals and demand excellence and accountability.
Respect each other as team mates.
Respect the franchise they belong to.
Respect the game they are fortunate enough to play.
Respect the way we want to play this game and the vision of this clubhouse.

Anyone unwilling to respect those values gets removed from the equation— actually they have chosen to remove themselves. The HC is the guardian and gatekeeper of the heart and soul of his team. The results you get on the field are a direct result of what the HC has chosen to tolerate.

Eh. Cut the roster. Fire the coaching staff. Start off fresh. Everything on this team is a mess. There isn’t a single brightspot I can think of.

 

[glimmerman]

Try actually holding each other accountable. Including the coaches.

Jones purposely tipped a pass in the air for the safety to int. Who was it Woods. He dropped it. He don’t just need to own that but players need to remind him of it.

Did it cost us the game.. YES

Did Wittens dropped pass cost us the game... YES

Did a int cost us the game.. YES

Did a missed FG cost us the game... YES

Missed blocks and tackles.. YES

You all contribute to a win or a loss. It’s a team game.

Our long snapper looks pretty good..

Cut him too. I want no remnants of the 2019 Cowboys in that locker room next year.

 

[Zekeats]

I’d always rather have my street smarts over book smarts. When you have both your Jimmy Johnson

Even the hydration manager. You are serious..

It is not difficult to understand. Jimmy Johnson was a psychology major at Arkansas. Jason Garrett majored in history at Princeton.

Johnson studied literally in knowing what makes people tick. He motivated and got the best from players because he understood how to get into their heads.

Garrett scholastic strength was studying the past. He can interpret what others have done and try replicating what they did well.

Two different backgrounds. Two different approaches. It is not really about either's intelligence. Garrett can copy Johnson's psychological tactics but he does not really understand the nuances of applying them for maximum sustained effect.

Maher stays if Garrett stays . 100%

Tell me. Would you wanna rid of all your cancer cells or keep one just for keepsake? Get rid of everyone. Everyone in that locker room and coaching staff is replaceable. No excuses.

Getting an undergraduate degree in any area won't turn you into an expert in some unrelated field regardless of how applicable it potentially could be under the best-imagined circumstances. I think Johnson would have been every bit as successful had he majored in anything else.
