If you could have one current head coach

My short list would be Bellichik, Petyton, Pete Carroll and Gruden.

Bellichik does get grief here but like someone has said, he has a system that is bigger than the players. They interject players in and out and the system just works. They had almost no Wide Receiver talent last year, one TE ithey cut because he was in jail and another on the training bench injured, a revolving door at running back, and holes galore on defense and still made the AFC championship.

Peyton because he should have had the job in the first place. Had 18 years of NFL coaching experience before he got the New Orleans job (unlike Opie's 4 years). I think he could have gotten that 2007 team over the hump.

Pete Carroll only because he reminds me of Jimmy Johnson a bit. At times I think this team needs the energy of a Pete Carroll or Jim Harbaugh as Head Coach.

Gruden because he has done it before with meddlesome owners in Oakland AND Tampa. He knows how to work around them. He has a system that works too. Has that energy like Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh. It's not a tangible thing, you either have it or you don't, and I don't think Garrett has it. Plus I always thought Romo may have been better suited in a West Coast Offense.

After having a coach that the team quit playing hard for...That is a actual positive trait to have..or a positive trait to have in ANY HC.

I will give you another one.

Prior to Jason taking over as HC...How many times did Jerry Jones draft an Offensive Linemen in the first round? That was not just coincidence.

I have also noticed we have started getting rid of overpriced players who no longer produce to their pay or have them restructure...that started after Jason became HC.

Look..I don't like Jason...well I should say I don't like him being the HC anymore. I think he should have been canned this last season.

I don't think he should have been hired as HC so quickly and I think one of the main reasons it happened was because Jerry Liked him but also because Jerry did not want to lose out on what he viewed as another Sean Payton situation

And for those that say laud jason for so many things without acknowledging his short comings or try to belittle them to defend him...Even Jerry Jones has said he is a coach in training and has had speed bumps.

So I don't have a problem if people don't like him or want someone else to be the HC because I feel the same way.

What I do not like is those that take the direct and dramatic opposite of acting like he does no right and others think he does no wrong. You are basically the bizzarro of some of the guys you argue with on this topic.


Amen Brother! This is the best synopsis I have seen of the Garrett situation on this board ever. And I will admit I have been among the biggest Garrett bashers.

I do think the Sean Payton situation was a bit different. Sean was a well seasoned coach. You don't last 18 years in this league without doing something right. Garrett barely had 4 years experience. I don't think Jerry should have let Payton go. JMHO.

I will have to admit Garrett is not totally bad. But it does not change the fact that I don't like him that much and would rather have another HC.
