Jason Garrett must go if this team wants a SB

[perrykemp]

This debate is oxymoron. We just go 24-3 Garrett is in the debate for coy and his not good enough
Pathetic

There are number of recent examples of NFL coaches have been fired after achieving winning records and getting to the playoffs - Tampa Bay firing Tony Dungy comes to mind. Also the San Diego firing Marty Marty Schottenheimer.

Were all those bad decisions?

 

[p_tubbs]

I should root or another team because I can't be a better coach that JG?

No because your irrational complaints. Garrett has done about as well as he could have considering we continue to fool ourselves into believing this defense is good or even acceptable. The bend but don't break systems do not have sustained success. If you want to be critical blame the front offense. Garrett continues to get this team prepared and has the team playing hard ever game every year. The team STILL believes in him as they should. So again, blame the front office (by the way they DO NOT CARE what you think of them) not Garrett or seek another team.

Perry i cant go for afield per your example but we all have seen what this team has/is becoming. Imho this is a he'll of a staff and we are growing. The staff will not be fired.

I've been a critic of Jason Garrett for a long time. His clock mismanagement, the weekly penalties that are like clockwork, the inexplicable habit of turning away from what works to the detriment of the team's success and the lack of playoff success...these things have pushed me to believe he needs to go.

This past game was the last straw. Zeke Elliot is the best player on offense and yet he only gets 23 touches. They come out looking completely unprepared on both sides of the ball. Multiple times in short yardage Zeke wasn't even on the field.

And the last series where the game was lost is solely on Jason Garrett. There is no defending it. A competent HC either wins the game there or leaves the Packers with so little time overtime is all but assured.

Jason Garrett has done all he can as the HC of this team. It will always end the same way with him. How many failed seasons does this guy get before he's held accountable? How many coordinators will they go through? How many QBs?

They need fresh blood on the sidelines. I know it won't happen but I feel it must for this team to get over the hump and win another Lombardi. Just MHO.

It's funny how people were saying he should be coach of the year at one point and now we've come to this.

People need to realize that all the great coaches in the NFL have a lot of say in what goes on. Unfortunately, Jerry is the alpha dog and isn't going to bring another one to coach his team, He wants to have the final say.

I wish Jerry would just hand the keys to Stephen and get the hell out of the way

21-3, THE team was not ready, again.

 

[Zordon]

On the surface I agree with everything you just said.

On the other hand, 2017 will be JG's 7th full season as a head coach.

He's got a single playoff victory to his credit in that 7 year period and only 2 playoff appearances overall.

I am sick of being told that we just need to wait another year "so they can fix the other side of the ball".

Everything needs to be perfect with JG. They finally took away play calling duties from him. They hired former Head Coaches for both his OC and DC.

In a league where coaching matters a ton, I can't help but to think the Cowboys are always going to be at a disadvantage because they have a run-of-the mill HC.

Compare his accomplishments with the most tenured HC's in the league. Can you find what's missing?

How can anyone defend this is beyond. At the very LEAST we should have gotten to the NFCCG this year.

The truth is I'm not in favor of firing him. It just isn't realistic.

It doesn't stop me from feeling like we are always going to be at a disadvantage in the playoffs at HC.

 

[LandryFan]

Oh so this gameplan that the coach reviews in advance needs to be followed strictly....that way when the defenses come out with different looks the fan base can criticize the coach for not adapting to the defenses....Awesome.

BTW...we scored on 6 of 9 possession. 1 we didn't score on was an interception. Another was the BS penalty drive (Butler)....
Maybe the defense let us down a little? maybe we didn't have the defensive talent to stop Rodgers? Maybe he shouldn't have converted a 3rd and 20 with 3 seconds left? Nah.....Its JG fault.

I think some of this is nothing more than a knee jerk reaction to losing a hard fought playoff game in heartbreaking fashion and I understand that frustration and heartbreak. But what I witnessed was an opposing QB that played at an unbelievable level coupled with several unbelievably bad breaks (QB holds onto the football from a blindside hit that will result in a fumble 9 times out of 10, the QB never gets a grasp on the football and fumbles it into the hands of the RB who wasn't even expecting the ball and he also manages to hold onto it!). The stars (no pun intended) simply aligned for Rodgers and the Pack in that game. Sometimes you eat the snake and sometimes the snake eats you. We got eaten Sunday afternoon. We'll be back and be back better. I wholeheartedly believe that!

We won what, 2 games last year, and the Garrett defenders said it's a process. It doesn't matter what he does. If he sucks, there is some sort of excuse. If he posts a regular season record with the best OL in football, arguably the greatest RB to come to the NFL in years but fails in the play-offs, they point to that off record and blame the defense that he hasn't been able to fix for years.

Maybe we should have offered Wade the D.C. Position again..

Tom Landry won his first Superbowl 12 years after he was hired as head coach. He did start with an expansion team, but he had 5 disappointing playoff seasons before finally winning a SB. Does anyone here believe he was a bad coach?

What innovation has JG brought to the NFL or the Cowboys?

Your wish is not coming true unless Death visits Jerry which he will someday. The Cowboys are Jerry's "golden goose" and
Jerry is going to keep collecting those golden eggs.

Garrett needs to go. He is the worst head coach in football.

Giving A-Rod the ball two extra times because he has no idea how a clock operate is beyond terrible. I said it before and i'll say it again: He put out biggest weakness (our pass defense) up against their greatest strength (their passing offense) two more times than necessary. That is awful coaching.

There was an article a few years ago on the bloggingthebeast that showcased this fact over and over again. In fact, it had like 18 time management issues in his first 31 games. The man has cost us no less than two other playoff appearances and yesterday he cost us a playoff game simply because he has no idea how a clock operates.

Against the Packers-We were up against the Packers Huge with Demarco Murray averaging seven yards a carry, and we lost because Garrett wouldn't run the ball.

Against the Lion- Same thing happened when we were up huge against the Lions.

Against Arizona- He iced his own kicker, and even though the kick could have been closer, he decided to wait an not use his timeout.

Against Baltimore-He set up his own kicker for a 51 yards FG when we had time and timeouts to get closer, but he just let the clock run down.

Against the Commanders last year when they let us score and we just gave the ball back to them.

Against the Steelers this year. They let us score super quick so they could get the ball back-thankfully, they also scored quickly.


He Sucks. He needs to go asap. Fire Garrett.

 

[cowboyblue22]

garrett is the class of coaches like andy reid and marvin lewis able to win some games in the reg season but not so much in the postseason but it is what it is he is not going anywhere because the owner and gm is comfortable with him as long as the team don't quit him he will be here its been 21 years now and it could be another 20 the best thing is regardless of the regular season record just don't have a lot of expectations

This notion that the defense isn't good enough is nonsense and just another made up excuse.

The Packers defense is horrid and wracked with injury yet they're going to the NFCCG.

The Cowboys were the more talented team Sunday. The lost because they were unprepared and got punched in the mouth early.

1st seed and home field thrown away becaus of a lack of preparation and poor coaching at the end of he game. Inexcusable.

You know what? I'm done defending the rational to the irrational. Please pick another team#idgaf

I don't even want to talk about last year. He was completely in over his head without Romo and was sickening to watch. Both Weeden and Cassel have won games with competent coaches yet they looked like they didn't belong on a football field with Garrett coaching them.

Please pick another team? I've been a fan of this team since '02. I've never seen them win anything worthwhile yet I'm still here because I love the Dallas Cowboys. I watched every game last year because you won't find a bigger fan than me.

So forgive me for wanting more than being bounced from the playoffs once in while.

Now take your holier than thou nonsense and take a long walk off a short pier.

 

[ShortRound]

The kind of personality it takes, to push the Cowboys over the edge, would clash with Jerry.
The brash, headstrong, personality would take the light away from Jones. Garrett is what Jones wants,
and as much as I don't like it, he's not going anywhere.

That being said ... I hope Garret does well next year and I hope we get the pieces we need.

I think's he's "handled" Jones well in the last few years though. Jones will meddle but Garrett will
keep trying to get his philosophy to work. I think he's built the team in his vision and we're close.

Nothing personal, but brotha, I wouldn't compare Jason Garrett to Tom Landry in any sense of anything.

As far as the overall topic is concerned, people can't deny that this team was not ready to play. Missed tackles, offsides penalties, substitution penalties and a defensive gameplan that looked like it was formulated by my five year old son.

I'd be alittle more forgiving of the guy if he hadn't been in Dallas for so long, but the reality is, he brings nothing to the table that can get us to where we want to go and he isn't going to suddenly get better either.

He is what he is. He's Jerry's puppet that has mastered his robotic persona. He's been outcoached more times than not and gives no confidence that the team can be led by him. Of course I don't matter, only Jerry does. So he'll stay and we'll probably keep coming up short.

For years Tony Romo was the fall guy. He got blamed for everything. Now that he didn't play and is probably gone, people finally want to acknowledge that the defense has always been mediocre to just plain awful. How Ironic.......lol.

When is Jason Garrett ever going to catch any hell for this team's lack of success?
