So glad he is someone else’s problem now.

His 50-50 brand of football is nice for a terrible team but when you have the horses to take off and he’s still flipping coins it’s annoying.

Let’s go take games instead of hoping it unfolds perfectly for us.

With Garrett, I will give him a little credit (very little). As Barkley may now get tackled for losses, an average 2 yards instead of 3 yards. :lmao:
And his long runs may be cut in half though. :muttley:

:popcorn:...as Barkley slobberers chime in....

Garrett is who he is, not a good head coach. But what was he supposed to do? Refuse the job from the beginning? Resign?

Jerry is the 1 that should make you throw up. He hand picked Garrett and then continued to keep him way too long

Yes and Jerry only has himself to blame.
Just as I blame myself, as Jerry kept his coach half as long as I kept my ex-wife. :lmao2::lmao::muttley:

I agree..

Garrett it's Jerry’s fault.

It’s one thing to make a bad hire but to let it go on for 10+ years is a joke.

Agree 100%. Too many great Cowboys fans on these boards keep stating “Garrett was the problem”, and yes he was a bad coach. But the guy who kept him there long after it was apparent that he wasn’t the answer is way more to blame than anyone else. Jerry wants to call all the shots, wants all the glory, but somehow he escapes the scrutiny and disdain he deserves. He is this organization’s biggest problem. Period.

I think Garrett can be great at being mediocre.

I think he could take the worst team in football and provide a structure that gets mediocre results.

Like the Giants may love him this year because they will probably pull out some tough games just by how Garrett plays so close to the vest but if they ever have a really good roster he will disappoint them and bring them down to mediocrity.

Agree it went on too long. But one can also see why it went 7 or 8 years.
1st, he was a questionable hire to begin with. As soon as Jerry hired him to be the OC, he already had plans for him to be the next HC. That was his mistake.

After Wade 1-7, then Jason gets them 5-3 the rest of the way. It seemed good. So after 3 win and in seasons, but lose that last game, finishing 8-8, no playoffs. Fans begin to say dump him. Then the 12-4 and getting cheated in the playoffs, one can see, well, they got it going now. It was not really all on Jason in the injury riddled, Weeden / Cassell / Moore QB debacle the next season. Then going 13-3 with a rookie QB and rookie RB, was wow, now we got it, finally.

However to me going 9-7 the following year without Zeke for 6 games. They had chances, but Garrett's poor decisions cost them more so than not having Zeke, like the game in Atlanta. They did go 3-3 without Zeke as that hurt, but more so on Garrett IMO, so yes that was the year he should have been fired. So I can kind of understand those first 6 years or 7 years. Though still too long. Maybe after the injury riddled 4-14 season in 2015 should have been it.

But I was never so glad, in hindsight of losing that Eagles game last year to finalize the end.
I have to admit part of me as I watch that game unfold and the lack of decent play, I thought man no way this team wins in the playoffs, and then they keep Garrett if they made the playoffs.
I wanted them to win, but after the loss. I was not angry, sort of relieved actually. As now there was a very good chance he would be gone. We would not have been embarrassed again in the playoffs, one and done.
But Jerry had to drag that out in his very usual Jerry way, take his time firing him.

i have never put anyone on ignore. i have never complained to a moderator about anything posted by anyone. i have never asked that a thread be eliminated. but there is a line in the sand. no mention of garrett should ever be made. haven't we suffered enough?
