I have noticed that Garrett is trying to emulate Johnson's coaching style.
It would make sense since he played for him and got first hand observation of his success.
Both coaches were/are not known for being great X and O guys.
Both relied on assembling top notch talent and then execution of basic offenses.
They did not out scheme the other team.
Jason however lacks 2 things Johnson had :
1. Johnson demand/commanded respect from his teams, they feared him.
I don't think we can say the same for Garrett.
2. Johnson had the H. Walker trade that netted him a boatload of top draft picks,
so he could secure that top notch talent.
Both Coaches did/do have an eye for talent.
One other difference is that Johnson would gamble.
I remember fake field goals and punts.
Has Garrett ever tried that in his tenure ?
