I love what Jason Garrett said at end of his Press Conf

Jason Garrett=hot seat

I dunno color me not impressed. Regular season is mantra works, but come the playoffs the team just doesn't live up to it.

I could be way off base and I probably am, but it feels like once the playoffs come he tries to get cute or go away from what got them there.

I've just never been a big fan of his.

 

[Staubacher]

Garrett couldn't even get his team ready with a 1 seed at home against a depleted GB squad. Down 21-3 before you could blink.

He sucks.

 

[brymatt94]

The thing is that if the team wins, Garrett doesn't get credit and if they lose he gets all the blame. So at what point will he have "proven" anything to fans?

He will get credit if he wins.
many coaches ~who are not great coaches win Super Bowls.
but they all get the credit

I have to agree.
2 really good seasons and then stunk
In playoffs.
This new mantra is awful.
Step on throats??... Not a good term
And who is he referring to? GB?
The other Part is finish but he has used that before so it isn't even new and not that good.
I mean if you can't figure out by yourself that you need to finish a game that's pretty bad.
the one thing he never talks about is actually winning games and championships.

He is under a microscope in Dallas, but with all due respect to Idgit, Jason was in over his head when he got the job and he has not done anything to change that because of his arrogance. I consider myself a good judge of character and I got a very bad vibe from him. I'm a huge fan of the team and hope like hell that Jason can prove me wrong.

He will

Jason Garrett would make an interesting case study for the Harvard Business Review. Personally, I have a hard time categorizing Garrett as a coach and, while I think he has evolved and changed (improved), I would be hard pressed to rate him much higher than average. I am not sure, though, that any other organization would have give him this much time to "grow" into the job. No doubt, Jerry Jones has a vested interest in proving Garrett is a good coach. Winning Coach of The Year certainly helped. Ultimately be judged on his win/lose record.

The key areas I think he has improved are around game management and establishing a team identity. I used to cringe at the offensive play-calling late in a quarter or late in a game. It seemed so predictable and, in some cases, down-right inappropriate for the game situation. This is an area that has improved the last couple of years, but still has a ways to go. The GB playoff game last year is an example of where Garrett was simply out-coached.

With the development of the offensive line coupled, first with Demarco and now Zeke, we can grind out drives, control the clock. This is what I mean by an offensive identity and, I believe, Garrett has been in instrumental in establishing it. Call it a through-back to the 90's or simply good vision, it is working.

The question I keep thinking about is this: is Garrett the right coach for Dallas going forward? Now that we have our franchise QB, our offensive identity, is he the right guy to lead the team to the next SB. If it doesn't happen this year, then my answer is "no".

Garrett: "I tell you we're gonna go out there, put the pedal to the medal, and we're gonna step on their throats and never let go until that final whistle is blown..."

I agree with going away from what got them there. Even in 2007 when he wasn't head coach yet, he used MBIII differently on offense in the Giants playoff game. That was a mistake. He used Zeke differently in the Packers playoff game. Short yardage was Zeke all season, but they decided to pass in those situations in the biggest game of the year.

We went from 8-8 every year to 12-4 and 13-3 (if Romo had not been injured in 2015, I believe we would've won dougle digits that year too). So the progress is there. The question is can we take the next step. I hate to blame officiating, but I also believe that if not for the controversial calls against Green Bay both times (Dez caught it and Heath picked if off), we would've advanced in both of those games. And to those who want to bring up the Detroit playoff game, Hitchens' facemask was yanked so at worst it should've been offsetting. My point is the officials have changed the course of history lately and not just against the Cowboys. I'll give Garrett a pass because I have seen progress by the team and some of our sucess has been blocked by nonsense.

If Garrett intends to win in the playoffs, he's going to need a very good defense. Some great game coaching (like Belichick and staff) can succeed in the playoffs with decent defenses, but Garret needs a defense to keep him in the big games. Either a great QB or great defense wins in the playoffs and championships.
I hope Dak becomes that other half of the formula this year.

Is Jason Garrett the most hated coach in Cowboys history?

To be fair he has been heralded as the next Landry by some so I do not think he is the most hated coach. I think that title goes to Campo. Some people do not like him, myself included, based on performance. He cost the team a lot of games for ridiculous mistakes his first three season. He has been in OJT for quite a while now yet still did not have the team mentally prepared for last seasons playoff loss then made a crucial mistake to end the game. He was more fortunate to have a franchise QB than most new coaches who take over teams. He has proven to be unable to win without a franchise QB. I am a realist. I just call things the way they are. If Garrett gets this team to winning consistently and challenging for a SB every year I will get on board but it still want erase the fact that he squandered Tony Romo' career and has thus just last season managed to climb above .500. His history would say we are due to go 3 - 13 this season. I see no way that is possible but who knows. If Dak goes down he has proven to be incompetent without a franchise type QB. The jury is still out on Garrett.

I don't know that we'd have advanced in either or both games, but they were close games that definitely would have been even closer. The Dez catch reversible was bizarre--on top of the ball bouncing off the ground and not getting properly called in GBs favor. But that was a home playoff game, at least. I think the Butler penalty at home in Dallas was more bizarre and more frustrating, personally.

Either way, Garrett's been successful building his team in Dallas. There isn't any rational argument against that anymore. All that's left is moving the goal posts on to playoff victories. Those need to come, too. He needs to continue to build the defense the way they've built the offense. But the trend isn't debatable.

People just don't like having been wrong about it for years.

Garrett has the uncanny ability to move his lips, say the same things over and over just in a different way. zZZ zZzzz ZZzz

He has a process that makes accomplishing that simple.
