Garrett moving on up

[Swagger]

It's a process.

I have to take off my hat to him - he has done very well for an individual with such limited ability. Reminds me of Dak Prescott.

 

[jnday]

Be fair, he was a below average Nfl coach for ten years and he can walk and chew gum

Garrett was the poster boy for average with all of the 8-8 records. He was average after Jerry demanded changes every week. The guy should get a lot of credit just for being average considering the circumstances. If Garrett would have took a HC job anywhere else, he could have been a good coach or at the very least he would have had a real chance to be successful.

Lol I still remember certain posters thinking he would have HC offers

@ that man swore up and down he was a good coach.

Um, Dre11 thought we were making a mistake firing him and that if Garrett had been in NE instead of Dallas, he would have been as good as Belichick is.

I poop you not.

Garrett took over a team with a prime Witten, Romo, Ware, Dez, and Lee. While the team he inherited wasn't perfect, he had the building blocks in place, any coach worth anything would have gotten more out of those teams than him. Garrett not getting another HC job, shows that the league doesn't agree he would be successful in a different situation.

Delusional is all I can say lol

Y’all will never let it go.

Embarrassing.

 

[john van brocklin]

Good for him, I wish him the best, just don't want him coaching the Cowboys.

 

[Ranching]

I hope he doesn't suck

I am not a big Garrett supporter, but coach after coach comes to Dallas and fails. How much longer are fans going to blame coaches for this mess? Jerry undermined Garrett more than any other coach over the last two decades. Jerry made several statements about players, play-calling, changes, etc to the media and Garrett knew nothing about it. The changes were made at Jerry’s demand and Garrett was blamed. MM hasn’t had that problem yet, but he will soon if the team keeps going one and done in the playoffs.

We have not sniffed a NFCC game in 25 years.
The one Constant ?
GM Jerry Jones.
As long as we have amatuers running this team we are doomed.

Producer: "What's that repeated popping sound on the broadcast?! We need to take that out of the mix ASAP!"

Tirico: "Jason, I've been told that you need to stop clapping."

Tape his hands together on broadcast days !

Laying blame and evaluating the abilities of a coach are two different things. Jerry sucks and Garrett sucks. Not tough stuff.

I think the only way Garrett had a chance as a head coach was to be a walk-around coach and let the coordinators use their own schemes/philosophies. One of his downfalls is that he came in and set the system that he wanted, which was a throwback to his days as a player when the Cowboys could line up and run the same play over and over again and dare defenses to stop them. He dared defenses to stop his offense, but we no longer had a team where execution alone would bring success. His lack of creativity, of trickery (except for reverses) was as much his downfall as anything else.

So I don't think he could have been successful anywhere as a head coach without completely handing over the offensive reins. If there was any doubt about that, then just look at how bad the Giants' offense was. Some of the talent we had made Garrett look better as an OC than he was because they essentially won what they could without any help from the coaching. His concept of outexecution was meant for offenses with superior talent across the board than their opponents. For a smart guy, you'd think he could have figured out that his roster wasn't the 1990s Cowboys.

 

[Mannix]

I can't wait to see him motivate a national audience with his Billie Jean King story. And as a side, who will the first NBC colleague be that he stabs in the back???

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I have never seen someone fail upward so many times

 

[Praxit]

..this will be really interesting. Will see what was ALWAYS cooking up there, when he'd stare into the camera.

Hey guys......

Certain posters literally compared the guy's early days to Tom Landry.
