Jason Garrett is least of cowboys problems

[Alexander]

Garrett is by far the biggest CORRECTABLE problem with this team. I say correctable because even though Jerry is a problem he is not going anywhere. The sooner Garrett goes the better off we will be.

Fan sayings from the past:

The sooner Bill Parcells is gone the better off we will be --2006

The sooner Wade Phillips is gone the better off we will be --2010

I am in no way advocating that Garrett is not a problem.

But is he a correctable problem? Given Jones' choices as head coach when there is not a real personal crisis involved, that is highly debatable.

It is very much like the Tony Romo situation. Some think he needs to go, but fear the alternative.

I just have zero faith in Jerry Jones' abilities to hire a head coach. Or even have a quality one come to Dallas to work with him and his special model he has working.

Just what kind of picks did you think we would get for Romo who you think is in decline? And what QB were you drafting this year? Geno Smith? EJ Manuel? This team would be 1-9 with either of those at the helm. A declining Romo just may be better than those two will ever be. Even though the 2014 QB class looks good, there are no guarantees there and especially for how quick they can produce.

It really didn't matter what kinda picks they got for him. They need the money to rebuild that they invested in Romo. A QB doesn't have to be drafted right away. Within the next couple years would had been okay. There is no need to hold on to Romo for a couple of extra wins every year. The support that he needs is not on the team and he is not good enough to carry the current team. The rebuilding has to start at some point. There is no need to put it off. By the way, is there some big difference between winning three games a year or seven? They are a losing football team either way.

I have serious doubts that a quality coach will come to Dallas to put up with Jerry. I don't think Garrett has a snowball's chance in hell of reaching a Super Bowl , so his replacement doesn't concern me. The only hope this time is that the pressure gets to Jerry and he has to give a little and let the coach have some input.

If we fired Garrett today do any of you have any faith in Jerry hiring someone better? He'd probably promote Kiffen to HC or something, citing his perseverance with an injured D.

Is this a trick question?

Who knows? Is he going to bring anyone worse? 8-8 is a curse. Not good enough for the playoffs, not bad enough to score top end talent from the draft.

Just please stop.

Garrett is quite possibly the worst HC in the league.

garrett and frazier are about even.

LOLOL

I LOVE all of the Garrett Parrots that blame Jerry for Jason's failure.

WHO HIRED JASON?

Herp a derp folks.

It is a fear, but not something that is so paralyzing that you should do nothing. Just an observation.

How can Romo be #2 when the #1 problem gave him that contract? Maybe the "real" #2 problem(Jason Garrett) wanted it as well. Don't blame Tony, it goes back to JJ.

Jerry will always be problem numero uno and Garrett is be problem # 2. Jason's style and scheme is sucking the life out of these players. I see it, other fans see it and the players themselves see it.

I have played for a few coaches who are not good at their jobs and it eventually translates to the field. Players get fed up, emotions/frustrations come to surface with a divided locker room soon to follow.

here is win/loss record of last 3 HC for Cowboys:

Bill Parcells: 34-30
Wade Phillips: 34-22
Jason Garrett: 26-24

As we can see Jason is no worse than Parcells for winning %. But more to the point is that none of these coaches were able to get their teams deep into playoffs. That comes back to person making personnel decisions (Jerry) and your on-field quintessential leader (Romo). The revolving door will continue with HC but nothing concrete will change until you change the personnel decision maker and your on-field leadership.

Quite honestly, the only reason anyone would support Garrett at this point is because they're too concerned with having to admit they were wrong.

LOL.

Parcells got Quincy Carter into the playoffs.

I've read a lot of ridiculous things on here, and this is towards the top.

Was Jimmy or Landry the problem on the bad seasons they had?

what about Belichick early on? Coughlins bad years? Mike Tomlin tight now?

It takes a team of people, an entire front office AND coaches to win or lose.

The fact that we're 3 years into Garrett's tenure and people still have to invoke the names of other successful coaches to defend Garrett's LACK OF SUCCESS pretty much tells you all you need to know.

Won 10 games with Quincy, Troy Hambrick and Antonio Bryant.

How dare you compare Ginger to Bill.

That's hogwash blaming Romo over Garrett. Wade seemed to not have a problem winning with Romo and the offense then was a little more advanced then it is today. Aside from our lovable GM(defense lies here too), our offensive scheme is the main problem with the Dallas Cowboys. Who created and installed that? Yes, none other than Jason Garrett. If JJ can't be fired, then our red-headed genius is next in line.

We may end up with an even worse coach, but that is a chance I am 100% willing to take. At least, we will see something different on offense.

Read through the first two pages (40 posts),

Was there a mention of Callahan ?

Either way, Garrett is responsible for Callahan. Therefore...Garrett is still part of the problem (if not the biggest).

Jerry needs a guy with a set, to say what he needs to win, even if that means saying he needs a new GM.

Callahan is an after-thought. He is merely a puppet to Garrett as Jason is to Jerry. Basically, when I(or anyone) complain about our offense, it is directed at JG, Callahan is silently included in that. Callahan is a sous chef cooking the executive chef's same crappy food.
