Whatever side of this argument you’re on, the facts are that he’s gone and the Cowboys have to face him at least 2 times next season. It seems like a few of you are all worked up because you believe the Giants will probably split with us in 2020. Well, the law of averages is on your side, regardless of Jason Garrett, because the Giants haven’t beaten us since 2016. Yes, we’ve won 6 in a row.
I consider myself a pretty astute fan and also fair. I’ll tell you that I’ve been hopeful Garrett could be the guy because of his ties to the team for nearly 30 years, but I’ve always been left unsatisfied with the job he’s done. He’s had some moments over the years that were very positive, but they were simply too few and far between for my taste. In my recollection, the good was immediately followed by a double-dose of bad - whatever the circumstance.
He was an okay coach - choose your own superlative. Middling? Mediocre? Average?
I think his presence on the Giants staff will make the games more interesting, but in my head and heart I don’t believe HE will make them more competitive. He was an okay coach for the Cowboys a total of 13 years and I’m pretty sure that’s what he will be for the Giants and whomever else he might coach for in the future. His methods are too conservative and unimaginative for the modern game. He will need to reinvent himself to make a noticeable difference.
I don’t wish hateful **** on the dude, but I am so glad he’s gone. It was a bad, bad decade.
