This team has finally taken on the demeanor of it's HC. No emotion. Flat. Uninspiring delivery. The talking points already mapped out before the media asks it's first question after another disappointing performance. Garrett refuses to accept responsibility-- why should any of his players?
The Eagle's HC guarantees a win to inspire his team-- JG keeps talking about getting a little bit better every day. Now-- they did come back from 3-5 last year-- so maybe they are circling the wagons internally and have a buzzsaw waiting for Philly on Sun night-- but I won't hold my breath. Man-- I just want a HC who has some balls and stands up for the franchise he represents. There are a lot of viable responses he could have given in response to Pedersen-- but the milk-toast, nice-guy schtick is literally the worst one IMO. Garrett may be a "motivator"-- but he falls far short of being a warrior. That is what this team needs right now-- some fire and passion-- someone to throw some tables and lockers around and not explain himself in trite little platitudes.
If this team comes out and lays an egg again with the division on the line-- then Garrett is done. He is already a lame duck coach and the players are simply not responding to him during games. The franchise will need a shakeup in order to have any shot of regaining it's competitive spirit.
Firing Garrett at the bye week and rolling with Richard as the interim HC does two things:
1. Holds JG accountable and gives the team a chance to come out of it's death spiral
2. Determine whether or not Richard is a capable HC to consider in the offseason.
