So exactly what am I wrong about? We have a coach who through his first three seasons cost us at least two games a season with idiotic game/clock management and lost win or go home games to division rivals to end the season three seasons running.

Do you have any concept how many times you've typed this out? Talk about a broken record to go with a warped sense of reality.

It has been very "lonely" wasting 3 + years on this guy while he is learning to coach. Also when and "if" and that is a big "if" he gets us to the promised land, don't think people like khiladi and myself will not be happy. We just happen to realize how much time was wasted on a guy who had to learn to coach and that if we would have hired a real coach to begin with we would have made the playoffs three years running and who knows what have happened in any of those three seasons.

,Letting yesterday effect today will only destroy the excitement of tomorrow.

uh huh.......Khiladi, cml750, Sultan....let's see how big the club gets. I would like it on record for the future.

Like I said earlier, do not confuse my / our distrust / dislike of Garrett for wanting the team to do bad. I am as happy as anyone that we are doing better this year but I also realize we still have a head coach who has not proven ANYTHING in this league so my expectations are are low. So how do you so easily dismiss ALL of Garrett's MANY mistakes?????? I personally am not wired that way. I have to look at the WHOLE body of work which so far sucks. Also, just making the playoffs is not enough for me when it is 100% Garrett's fault we did not make the playoffs three years running. If we had one just one of the at least two games a season he blew with idiotic game/clock management or won our win or go home games to end each of the lat three season(to division rival no less???), we would have made the playoffs three years running. That is ALL on Garrett. There is no other way to spin it. Garrett will get my respect when he earns it and he has not earned anything yet. The ONLY way for him to earn my respect is to make the playoffs and win at least one game. I guess people like you have become so used to mediocrity that ANY bit of success excites you and makes you want to jump on the bandwagon. This is the Dallas Cowboys, the team I have rooted for for over four decades, and I am not satisfied with mediocrity or a mediocre coach.

If you want to jump head first onto the Garrett bandwagon that is 100% your right my friend. Personally I am happy for you that you have that ability to overlook all the mistakes Garrett has made. I and others are just not wired that way. We are ALL Dallas Cowboy fans though, and we all want what is best for them even if we do not agree what that is. So I say PEACE my fellow Cowboy fan and have no doubt I will be just as happy as you when we win our next Superbowl and I can assure Garrett will have me hook, line and sinker when and if that happens on his watch.

It does not make it any less true but some people apparently have short memories. Maybe I should just use the copy and paste option so I don;t have to type it so much because I will keep on saying/typing it until Garrett gives me a reason not to and that will be a playoff win and nothing less.;)

Getting too excited today makes it hurt worse when reality sets in. Until proven otherwise by a playoff win, I will continue my pessimism toward Garrett my friend!:)

It's not short memories, they're ignoring you because you made it all up.

And everyone knows that you will just move the goalposts however far you need to for your silly crusade. If they win a playoff game, it will become two, etc. It's what you and your ilk do.

Bad news, Garrett's contract is in .pdf form in Jerry's My Documents folder and about to be printed out. About the only thing left you can do is volunteer your forehead to have it signed on.

Made it up?????:lmao::facepalm: Do I have to remind you Jerry even admitted it last year??? :banghead: Nevermind!!!! Okay, lets agree to disagree on that.

And everyone knows that you will just move the goalposts however far you need to for your silly crusade. If they win a playoff game, it will become two, etc. It's what you and your ilk do.

If by moving the goalpost you mean I will expect the team to do even better next year then yes you are correct. I expect at least a playoff win to pacify me this year and at least two next year, and so on until we win the big one again. So no I am not happy with mediocrity like so many fans have become and I expect them to get better every year. News flash, 8 - 8 every year is not a steady improvement no matter how you slice it and just having more wins without making the playoffs and winning at least one game when we should have made the playoffs three years running is not enough for me. One playoff win and I will stop my "crusade" for now until we see the results next year. If we take a step back or stay the same then I will beat my anti-Garrett drum again.

Bad news, Garrett's contract is in .pdf form in Jerry's My Documents folder and about to be printed out. About the only thing left you can do is volunteer your forehead to have it signed on.

I will agree with you that his contract is probably in .pdf form. Jerry has proven he would rather be comfortable with his coach than win. Now I know he would prefer to do both but comfort is definitely his highest priority based on his actions.


Look my friend, we are all Cowboys fans and we all want them to win. We may disagree on how we should get there but we all want it to happen. So I say PEACE!!!! I will jump on the Garrett bandwagon when he gives me a reason.

You got it sir. Either he will keep moving the goal posts or one day declare himself on board and say that he was the smart one because Garrett didn't deserve it until he EARNED it. :)

I'm not part of any club that you've conceived of in your mind. I give credit when and where it's due.

Sure didn't work with him calling plays. But he found a way to make it work. Bringing in linehan. Good CEO type coach, while his assistants do the heavy lifting.

Ill clap this year for Garrett, but let me say this, I'm not a big fan of his, he's not the type of coach i prefer, i can't stand to listen to his press conferences, he's just not my cup of tea, but if i have sacrifice that to finally get this team on the the right track, I'll support him.

As a confirmed Garrett basher I am on the Red train.

That challenge on the Celek fumble came quick and was huge. In past years he would have just stood there.

He has been managing the games brilliantly and has the team prepared.

He has adjusted some things to fit his guys, like the sweats on the plane rule. Sweats on the Plane!

Garrett has stood the course and has his team primed.

Garrett credited Wade Wilson for the call. To his credit he stated he believes in what his coaches see and didn't
Hesitate to throw the challenge flag.

I'm not willing to give him a 10 year extension like @Hostile, but he has saved his job, imo. I would give him a 3 year extension and see what he can do.
