Garrett's coaching style/demeanor?

[vlad]

Does anyone know what Jason Garrett's coaching style/demeanor is supposed to be like?

I mean, is he a hard ***, chew guys out? I know he's supposed to be a great communicator and "work" with players.

Just wondering, we know Wade is a nice, glass 3/4 full guy. Jimmy J. was a mean sob, Switzer was not, but had Troy. I'm assuming nice guys like Dungy have Manning to crack the whip. And we see what's going on with Chicago with another nice coach but know guy like Manning to back him up.

I think unless Romo or Ware or someone with clout turns into a hardass (in terms of "we don't wanto get on Romo's bad side") we'll need that from a high up coach. Of course I don't think the o-coach can go tee off on the defense (if needed)

Just wondering, nothing to read into here, thanks

I have no doubt Garrett's demeanor is fine... He'll tell players the truth and won't beat around the bush.

I know he doesn't act like a kid on the sidelines like Wade.

Troy Aikman said that Jason would get on Troy when he thought he was not listening or was pressing during a game when he was his backup.

Garrett's not a screamer but he would probably give ya a hell of a staredown.

(Like Landry)

No, nobody knows his style... We just know that he rules.

Jason to me does not look like a hardnose in your face coach. For any coach though the main thing is be yourself you can't try and copy others or be fake because players will see right through that. Jason has respect from his players on offense and that is the main thing a coach must have from his players their respect.

I think Phillips' laidback style can work during the season, but I think come December and the playoffs, it's helpful for the players to feel, coming from the coach, that things have ratcheted up. Kind of a Phillips for the regular season, Parcells for the playoffs, motif. I think Garrett, in his own way, can be both.

We did not win any playoff games under Parcells.

If Garrett could get on Aikman for not listening/pressing, he certainly can get on Romo & anybody else. Of course the fact that both Romo & Garrett were in their first season as the starting QB and the OC is also a factor.

Garrett was very successful for the most part this past year until the end/playoff game but obviously there is a need for much improvement. At the minimum this offense must be able to take this team deep into the playoffs and win a SB.

I really believe Romo will improve even more in his 2nd full season as he matures and certainly the 07 season should be a learning experience as he rethinks/learns from what went wrong. I do hope Romo takes some time away from Dallas to gain some perspective on his play (which was mostly outstanding) and what happened but also he needs just to forget about football for a while and just relax & recharge his batteries. If he's smart, he'll spend some time away from Dallas where he won't be forced to deal with the media and pesky fans.

The context was "ratcheting it up" for the playoffs. I didn't get that sense from Phillips, but always got it from Parcells, victories, or not.

You may not have gotten the sense but the results were the same.

Was that "ratcheting it up" evident during the New Orleans game or the Detroit game last year?

If any particular coach in the history of football, at any given time, with any given team, did not achieve results, despite ratcheting things up in the playoffs, my opinion remains the same. Namely, that it is important for a franchise - ideally, from ownership, the front office, the coaches, and the players - that there be a tangibly felt increase in focus and importance in December and heaing into the playoffs. It doesn't guarantee success, but I think it increases the possibility of success.

Dallas was not good in Dec during Parcells time here either. I'm not excusing Wade he is the coach and we lost thus he is getting the heat it goes with the job but don't sit there talking about how BP ratcheting when the facts do not even come close to backing it up. We lost some very poor games in Dec and playoffs with BP

No, I think Parcell's had a tough year personally and professionally, and his heart wasn't in it as was normally the case for him. When I used Parcells as an example, I wasn't basing it on any particular year, but what is generally accepted as the norm for him.

The fact that we didn't win a playoff game doesn't mean Parcell's didn't ratchet up the intensity for the playoffs. I'm not making a case for Parcells, I'm happy to insert any other coach who displays a marked intensity come playoff time. Maybe Parcell's and his ratchet didn't work for this particular group of players for a whole host of reasons, my point is that I personally believe that type of attitude improves a team's success come playoff time. Maybe that doesn't bear out in isolated cases, like Parcell's tenure here, but I think it does across the span of all professional competition and coaching.
