Garrett can't seem to handle any mental make-up issue type players.
Jimmy got to Super Bowls by handing Charles Haley.
Taco
- Taco failed because he was or became uncoachable.
- He did NOT fail due to a lack of physical ability.
- Dorance Armstrong does not have more physical ability than Taco.
Was it the Pick of Taco that Failed or did Garrett fail to make Taco accountable?
Has Garrett handled any character issues players?
- They kept Dez happy by force feeding him the ball.
- Zeke has only been in limited trouble.
Garrett as Head Coach:
Taco
Greg Hardy
Josh Brent
David Irving
Dez (eventually)
Rolando McClain
Jay Ratliff
Ahmad Dixon
Joseph Randle
Rico
Others that had issues:
Beasley - Complained on twitter while he was here.
Ryan Switzer - Openly complained to the media.
T.Williams - The 2018 move to IR seemed to be more of a flake out and an long term injury.
Kyle Orton - Faked injury or illness to get cut (I forget the details).
Garrett as the OC, not HC:
TO
Patrick Crayton

On the surface, it seems like you might be trolling.
But dig deeper, and you see there are guys out there who have success using interpersonal communication and coaching techniques, psychology, anthropology to get through to these kinds of guys.
You know what makes Belicheck so great?
He's an anthropologist. He also knows the league overlooks certain types of receivers, because they favor a certain stereotype of receiver.
But, he also knows how to approach certain types of players from a communicative standpoint to get the results he wants.
The Patriots also hire teams of anthropologists to scout other teams and players, which gives them a huge edge.
We need a guy with a mind like that who is too busy thinking to clap.
In other words, you are on to something. This is one of the primary jobs of the head coach. And Garrett fails pretty big when it comes to turning these types of guys around.
In fact, we should just avoid them all together,which isn't that bad a strategy...But even the Patriots take their chances, as we saw this year with AB.
