Gosselin: Jason Garrett, staff let Cowboys down when they were needed most

[WPBCowboysFan]

Then why are we listening to an article from a mediot about Garrett?

Becasue every now and then a mediot gets it right. If a mediot gets it right whats wrong with acknowledging that?

Nobody here is agreeing BECAUSE the mediot nailed it, but because what they already know to be true was written about by the mediot.

Probably because it is the first time this year that the Dallas media is starting to call out Garrett.

The product on the field is apparently not embarrassing enough to Jerry to make any changes, so our only hope is that media/public ridicule will be enough to force Jerry to make changes. Calling out his Princeton head coach for the failure that he has become is the first step in this process.

Jerry is a great owner
Garrett is the next Landry
Garrett is building a team that will contend for a long time
We are not that far off
You can't build a team in ONLY 5 years


Rinse and repeat

That will continue with..


You can't win when your staring QB is out.
You can't build a team in ONLY 7 years.
You can't win when your star defensive players is out.
You can't build a team in Only 9 years.
You can't win with Jerry as the owner/GM.
You can't build a team in Only 11 years.

etc.. etc..

Let that sink in for just a moment.....disgraceful.

I wouldn't say they collapsed, just more so that they caught lightning in a bottle during the 12-4 run.

With the Texans managing to get production out of Weeden it is what it is. We need to draft a QB but Garrett and company do not inspire much confidence that they can do anything with the position. Without Romo, Garrett struggles.

I think the issues are institutional. I think the star culture at VR runs contrary to winning. I think the inability to develop QB and TE is related to how their star players are coddled. It's not so much the scheme that is the problem but instead how the players and scheme are implemented.

The other QBs run a different looking offense than what Romo does. Murray is ridden into the ground and when he leaves the other RB are ill prepared. No other TE can accomplish anything and Witten never ever leaves the field. They trade away depth via draft picks to insure that they get their 'star' player.

I don't blame the players. They are going to set up what they can to get things done but for a coach that talks about "attention to detail" he seems a bit obtuse. That's not all on Garrett. All of this is made possible by the guy at the top who still insists on being called GM despite hiring Will McClay and having his son negotiate his contracts. The man whose primary purposes seems to be to undermine the authority of the people administering under him: Jerry Jones.

Outlier season......we are regressing back to the mean with a 4-12 season this year since the two average to 8-8

Yes, it is a process...

You cannot persuade me, Rich Gosselin, that the coaching staff isn't, in fact, the primary reason this team was even close in all those games that were close.

We were a Tony Romo away from winning all of them, and probably by quite a margin for most of them.

We were a Jon Kitna clone away from winning some.

Gosselin once was a very solid voice. He's gotten full of himself as media people often do eventually, and he's just wrong on this one. Very.

I think that the dynamic is more about the article telling people what they want to hear. I find the best articles to be the ones that change my mind.

But if its an article that changes your mind you are getting some new info usually. I think whats different about this article is that even tho its stating the obvious, the mediots have largely ignored writing the obvious about Mr Teflon for so long. So in that sense its kinda refreshing.

So you're one of the few remaining Red Kool Aid drunks? I wonder which one of you will be the last one standing? I mean last one drunk?

20 years of inferior coaching, save for the few years that Jerry swallowed his pride and hired Parcells. The one constant in this whole nightmare has been the egotistical, delusional owner of the Cowboys who masquerades as the part time GM.

Correct

 

[Rogerthat12]

Even Jerry figured this out. Not that he'll do anything major about it.

He will do nothing about it!

You just proved his point........if you have to have Romo to win a game, you are not much of a coach

90% of the coaches in the league could win with Romo, it's the good coaches that win with backups

Good to see someone other than Sturm calling it like it is.

You could put a DVD of the "seven habits of successful people" , a clapping sound track on and a card board cut of Jason and be better off because the card board cut out at least wouldn't make the clock errors he does.

He needs to go.

i always wanted someone to make a video of different clips of JG saying "it's a process" and "we will go back to study the tape and clean things up" or "we will look at the tape and get better", or that 3 phases of the game comment that he always makes. you know those qoutes of him saying the same stuff over and over and over and over again. he has said it so much for so long its mind numbing coupled with the fact that the changes havent been made.

yeah great its nice to say you are going to go back and look at the tape and clean things up and get better but the fact that you don't get better is the issue.

i think he said it again after the recent Jets game LOL

anyways if anyone has any spare time! make that video you have a lot of material to dig through and use. 5 to 7 years worth.

"I spent 19 years as the NFL columnist for this newspaper, and there's one game that stands out above all others in the 400-plus games I attended during that stretch.

It was played in November 1997 between the Green Bay Packers and Colts at Indianapolis. The Packers were the defending NFL champions on their way to another Super Bowl that season. The Colts were 0-10 and playing a backup quarterback that day.

But Paul Justin, filling in for an injured Jim Harbaugh, outplayed Brett Favre at quarterback and the Colts prevailed, 41-38, on a field goal at the gun. It was a coaching victory, a gameplanning victory, by Lindy Infante and his staff. The Colts ran the ball, milked the clock and Justin played turnover-free football for the upset. I saw that day how coaching can make a difference and help a team win a game it has no business winning.

Coaching has not made a difference for the Cowboys this season...."
