Last time I checked we lost. If you think losing is successful, I don't know what to tell you. I prefer winning.

BTW, we took the running game out of the game plan on the first drive when we had 3rd and 2. The score was 0-0.

You were talking about the offense game plan. The O scored plenty of points to win. Football is the ultimate team sport, one side did well, one side didn't and you are complaining abou tth eone that did

Sort of a funny thread to me so forgive me, been around for a long time and remember when everyone wanted to fire Landry those first five/six years and then again mid 70s. Always a question of who are you going to get to replace him and would that coach do any better. Watching the NFL for some 55 years says it rarely happens.

It worked so well we lost. Our team identity all year was run heavy, clock control offense. Our best defense was our offense. Type of offense that helped out the defense by keeping a potent opposing offenses on the sideline and our defense rested.

I just don't see it from Garrett. He might be a good "leader" or coaching figure to be one of the faces of your team but I don't think he pays enough attention to detail to truly be one of the greats. Seems like he's never fully in control of situations

I don't want to argue, but let's say that last Aaron Rodgers pass was incomplete and the Cowboys won in overtime.

Then does this thread exist?

That cost us the game. Why change who we are?

I wouldn't bat an eye if JG was axed tomorrow. This is now 2 times he's folded as a #1 seed (HC and OC). 2 weeks off and this team looked completely disorganized in the 1st half. Wasting 3 TO because of it. Then the 2 minute debacle to end the game. Guy is way in over his head. 1 playoff win in 7 years as HC. Not even a sniff of a NFCC in the 10 years he's been here yet he's never in the hot seat. Must be nice...

after how many years and how many tries? and then he proceeded to slump for a long while. now they have a new guy, and they are in again after only two years.

It really doesn't matter, that former coach got them exactly where this new coach has them.

And this talk about Garrett has to go is pure emotion. Your comparison is bad and you should feel bad. Your point boiled down to this...

"Get rid of this guy and get this other guy and that will lead to success!"

How did this work out for Philly? Just because you THINK you can upgrade does not mean you will. Garrett has rebuilt this offensive line into one of the best units in all of football, and when it's all said and done, it could possibly be one of the greatest lines in NFL history. He's had two RBs in recent years rush for 1,600 yards or more, Romo had some of his best seasons once JG took over as HC, and under JG he has found what many of YOU GUYS are saying is "The next Tom Brady!"

Yet now, after all of that, we this emotional dribble stating "Get rid of him!". My biggest issue with these types of threads, it's just crying without any offer of a solution. So, I ask you guys, go ahead and throw out retread coaching names or some young gun from college or having some OK success with a team right now you believe can replace Garrett. Let's start there.

Dallas can do better. Heck, a cigar store Indian could have coached this team the 13-3 this year.

I would absolutely love to get Josh McDaniels and see what what he can do with this offense. He got hosed in Denver and deserves a 2nd chance somewhere.

I don't think you can pin this on Garrett in any way.

Players love to play for him and always play hard. We were 13-3 with 3/4 rookies starting.

My issue with Garrett is the gameplan. His philosophy is to 'be ourselves'--but that gets tossed the second adversity hits and we end up going shotgun on 3rd and 2.

Believe it or not he has produced 2 of the best seasons in our history. 12 and 13 win seasons. I personally want to see Linehan gone, you can't fire a coach that just went to 13 wins with a rookie and expect someone to sign here. Had we made the comeback and won yall wouldn't be talking about getting rid of Garrett

That didn't cost us the game. The defense giving up a huge 1st down on 3rd and 19 to GB to allow their kicker to try with 3 seconds on the clock is what lost us the game
It never would have came down to that if we played the way we did all year. Taking the time off the clock by marching down the field keeps our awful defense on the sideline. No way we get behind 21-3. It was bad coaching and penalties along with our defense that cost us in the first half.

Game was tied up.......twice. We have no idea how it went, what lost the game was a 35 yard completion on 3rd and 19 to get in FG range. Period.
