Twitter: Garrett "It's my responsibility, my fault, my job to make sure we do it better"

Only doing it for damage control now. Too late, Red.

....Good football treats this guy like the plague.

So you tip your cap to him admitting he’s at fault after throwing everyone else under the bus? He should have been fired immediately after that.

 

[Idgit]

This is nothing new. It’ll be ignored immediately as well because it doesn’t fit what most want to believe.

 

[leeblair]

Oh, well; now that he's learned his lesson we should all be ashamed; give him at least 5 more years.
It's only taken 9 years for him to learn that line.
In five years he can add, "We gotta play'em one game at a time."

To me, that's more concerning than losing an important game. Once players get pissed at the coaching or FO, they're not going 100%

That doesn't worry me. I don't think the head coach is the only reason players give 100%. If they don't have that in them to begin with they won't do it no matter who the head coach is.

I like Jason Garrett as a person. I just wish he were better at X's and O's.

 

[jsb357]

WOW! Garrett finally ran out of viable bodies to throw under the bus.

The season is fare from over so never under estimate the genius of Garrett.

 

[Sarge]

Whatev....

It's happened before. To our own team too. If players aren't happy with a HC not putting them in the best position possible to win games, they will grow unhappy and things can go South. I've seen it first hand. If you look at JUST the Viking game, there are a number of things that occurred that were not what good coaching does. And he has a history of it nearly every playoff-ish game. It very much matters who the HC is IMO.

CYA!

Well you can pretty much bank on it that ST Coach O'Quinn will not be here next year. Supposedly he's the one that told Tavon to fair catch it. And when Jason asked him about it he played stupid and told Garrett he never told him to fair catch it. This one isn't on Garrett per se. But he should have owned it from the jump and handled it in house after that. But he's not a real leader of men. He's a snake, that's how he got the job to begin with, hence why his beloved players on the team are snakes.

The only thing I would say about this is that similar claims have been made in the past about Garrett, and Garrett didn't feel the need for damage control then. Knowing that, isn't it possible Garrett talked to Austin and found that the message was not clearly communicated to him, and now he is taking the monkey off Austin's back?

And let's remember, even though Garrett initially said Austin had an option, he did not criticize the choice.

If we were getting blown out every game and weren't in the playoff race, that's one thing. I obviously can't know what's in players heads, but I personally don't think we are in danger of players not having the desire to play hard.

 

[nobody]

Shocked that he actually admitted it, even if it is way too late.

 

[pitt33]

It’s almost over Cowboy fans . 7 more games. Then we can begin looking for the next Puppet.

Yep.

The Garrett/Marinelli era is coming to a close.

One can feel it growing by the day.

 

[BleedinBlue]

Jerry might extend to give Red some time to implement this new strategy.

Garrett "It's my responsibility, my fault, my job to make sure we do it better"

...Yes, you're right on all accounts...you'll be let go soon so get your papers in order, start clearing your office, put out some feelers for vacant positions around the league...you will be moving soon....don't go away mad, just go away!

 

[MRV52]

Red then if its your fault why do you keep making the same mistakes? Like clock management etc.. This guy never learns and he went to Princeton.
