Garrett should still be HC/OC

1) fact is, some very smart and good guys just aren't great coaches. It isn't a sin.

Some very good coordinators don't turn out to be good head coaches either.

Norv Turner and Dave Wanstat made careers out of being Jimmy's coordinators, and not very good head coaches. (Norv better than Dave)

STOP

Or perhaps we finally fix the broken system. Other teams in the NFL do just fine moving the ball and scoring with lesser weapons. Yet year after year we have games where we get completely shut down.

I'd like to know why Dallas offense has to run in extremes but no running game either way. They use to have Romo take a lot of shots down the field and just basically be a gunslinger and I acknowledge that all the chances for ints were an issue. So now they go the complete opposite extreme and are really conservative and barely ever if at all go deep and just dink and dunk down the field. I just don't get why we can't have a happy medium between the two and run the ball more. I keep thinking that maybe this super conservative offense is because of Romo's ribs but I just don't know anymore. If they continue to play that conservative and expect their defense to bail them out every time it's going to be a long season.

I tend to agree. The problem last season was execution in the redzone. We atleast GOT TO THE REDZONE. We could convert 3rd downs. Now? We can't even get to the redzone to have a problem in the redzone. Seems like we're going backwards personnel wise.

If JJ is so reluctant to give up on Garrett, just promote him to GM and get a whole new offensive scheme in here. Maybe make him head of scouting, or make up a new title.

I don't have a problem with Jason handling the talent acquisition, just his offensive philosophy. This team is in disarray going from one extreme to the other. If things continue this season, what is the next plan of attack, copy Philly's style if they continue to rack up stats? Jerry might find the latest fad and run with it only to find out that they can not play that style either.

So far, it appears the change to the 4-3 was a good idea, so far. If this team goes 8-8 again or worse, JJ will be looking to change something again, most likely the offense. I don't think he could even sell Garrett to the public for another season with minimal changes.

He will in no way blame Romo(whether he finishes out good or bad), the only fall guys left are Garrett and Callahan. Getting rid of one and not the other would be a mistake IMO.

I'm not sure. One, it's too early to say yet, but if I had to guess, I'd say that it's helped the team overall to have JG as HC only, but we also might have taken a step back at the OC spot. I'm not as big a fan of the play selection early this season. Hard to say how much of that is Callahan, and how much Romo changing the play at the line, but it doesn't feel like we're threatening teams deep very much, and that's with a full set of healthy WRs and a speed guy added to the outside rotation. Maybe it's design. Maybe it's Romo's ribs. We also should have been able to make the Chiefs pay a higher price for blitzing us than we did yesterday.

The call to have Dez run deep sideline route on a blitz was a good one - who gets credit for that i dont know. Too bad Dez dropped it, but doing that will dial back the blitzing.

If i'm a D coordinator and i know the QB is going to throw quick short passes when I blitz im going to do it a lot. Worse case scenario is a completed short pass.
