News: Jason Garrett has more wins in the NFC over the last three seasons

[Dre11]

This is a stat the supports mediocrity. Garrett rarely has those 4-12 seasons, but he also doesn't have many playoff seasons and little playoff success.

8-8 or better seasons are built on beating a bunch of underachieving teams and a few good ones, like the Saints. Give him credit if you must for having teams good enough to beat the average to less-than-average teams. I'd rather have a coach who has the ability to put together the occasional run that at least puts his team in contention for a championship.

He also coaches under the most unique circumstances too.

Regular season wins - specify.

He also coaches under the most unique circumstances too.

Jimmy Johnson won two Super Bowls in those unique circumstances. The process that has resulted mostly in mediocrity is all Garrett's. He's wasted talent for years by trying to slow-build a winner, which has either left us without a defense when the offense was good enough or resulted in talent we were relying on leaving because of injury or age before we could complete the process.

For Garrett's plan to work, one side of the ball has to be great to overcome the need to build the other side. The offense has been close at times, but was held back by the scheme/play-calling needed to put it over the top. The defense might be close this year and get held back by offensive shortcomings.

Winning a championship is a combination of having the right players, having the right coaching and luck. Having the right coach goes a long way toward getting those first two things.

Jason Garrett has more wins in the NFC over the last three seasons

Wins in the regular season < Wins in January

Some people might be surprised to learn that no other NFC coach has more wins than Jason Garrett over the last three seasons. If your measuring stick is winning football games, then Garrett rates pretty high in recent years with his 29 wins over the last three years.

This is known as a so what stat. It means nothing without playoff wins. There is no such thing as a successful season without at least one playoff win.

 

[JoeKing]

When you give away the last game of the season to rest players, your team goes into the playoffs rusty and can't win. This is why Garrett has had so little playoff success. I fear he will repeat that mistake once again this season by resting players when we play the Giants. Congrats to him for his regular season success but stop ruining our chances in the playoffs.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Why all of a sudden we have threads comparing wins in the last 3 seasons to justify Garrett and / or Dak.

Give me playoffs wins, and that is "wins" to at least the NFCCG.

Other than that, it means nothing but some numbers.

Yeah but you can’t get into the post season without regular season wins.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

This is why I refuse to call Garrett “a bad coach.”

 

[Idgit]

Bad coaches don’t lead their teams’conferences in wins over three seasons. And there are reasons other than coaching for teams to lose playoff games.

Fans don’t often bother to distinguish because it’s easy to blame the HC or the QB, and there’s safety in numbers.

Sounds great but the NFC East has been the NFC Worst the last few years.....Were was Jason Garrett when Doug Pederson was winning the SuperBowl....with a trick play (fetching Jerry his scotch). How'd Garrett fair when Romo went down....How'd Garrett fair when TSmith, SLee and Zeke was out......Garrett can win by coaching....he needs All Star players to get to 8-8. Heavens sake, Jerry just went out and gave up a 1st round pick to save Garrett job ...

Jason Garrett = Jeff Fisher & Marvin Lewis

 

[rynochop]

Jason Garrett is a decent coach..fans are fans for a reason. Landry would have been run out of here, people didn't like Jimmy in the beginning. Fans are just fickle

 

[MojaveJT]

What other franchise would keep a HC around that has 1 playoff win in 7-8 years??? 30 other teams would’ve fired him by now. Bengals and Cowboys are the only ones that give more stock in regular season records than postseason.

 

[Willfreedom909]

That’s because of dak and zeke

 

[cowboyblue22]

according to his record over his time here garrett is a mediocre coach at best time for him to move on

 

[FineFan]

lol. I heard that. Seems impossible right? Yet I guess it's a fact. The 2016 season helped a lot.

Or fans just aren’t interested in the excuses and want playoff wins.

God forbid fans want their team to win some playoff games.

Such lofty and unfair expectations to place on a coach who makes millions of dollars a year. I know.

The only thing I can take from this is that any year your coach didn't get to the NFCCG you would fire him. That's how you build a winner right there yessireeee....

Fans should concern themselves with reasons instead of not being able to distinguish reasons from excuses.
