That's not what I asked for. I asked for a citation that happened after Wade was fired. I don't care what the media was doing or who they favored, I am asking you to back up what Hatcher said about "sabotage"
What I have
- Wade admitting he was a lousy coach (I gave a citation)
- Video evidence on game day with lack of effort from defense (provided video link)
- Nobody in this thread posting anything relevant outside of speculation and "read between the lines"
I'm not a Garrett fan, I'm not defending Garrett as a coach or how he has performed from 2010 to 2018. I am simply asking those, who are buying into Hatcher's claims, to provide a single ounce of hard evidence that Garrett had some masterplan to get Wade out of here.
1. Wade’s personality is like that. He also tweeted a few years back his record in contrast to Garrett as a point of sarcasm. Wade clearly doesn’t think he can’t HC and always felt he never got honest opportunities. He’s multiple times made his feelings known and quoted his overall HC record on support of that fact.
2. Patrick Crayton on 2010 said Wade has absolutely nothing to do with the offense. Hatcher basically said what Holley and Crayton said years ago that Garrett sabotaged Wade and they argued it was based on a ‘new play book’. Obviously if you look at it, they actually made a concerted effort to run the ball, which is what Wade was actually saying they needed to do, but was constantly ignored. People may argue they they ran the ball more because of Kitna, but in Kitna’s first game and that led to the firing of Wade they threw 30 times and the Dalla three back rushing attack only attempted 14 rushes the whole game for like 30 yards.
Also Hatcher is clearly re-writing a narrative in part, because even Crayton, Brooking and Newman all said Wade never cracked heads. So his claim Garrett sabotaged them based on harder practices is bogus. This idea they became tired Because of practices being much harder doesn’t jive with what players that were pro-Wade were saying in 2010.
Hatcher wouldn’t have known about the playbook, because he was part of the defense, so he’s clearly mixing up issues on his head.
3. Wade’s autobiography slams Garrett in reality and he speaks about how Wade to work under pressure of being fired, when he was 9-7 and also how Jerry wouldn’t offer him an extension when he went 33-15, won a play-off game and were coming off an 11-5 year.
4. He also brought up the fact that Jerry gave Garrett a raise during this time and was making more than him and even days flat out in his biography thatJerry himself said that Jerry told him after the 9-7 season maybe he should have let Garrett take the Ravens offer after the OFFENSE struggled, meaning Jerry knew their were problems with Garrett as an offensive coach. He even came out years later and said he was a “head coach in training”.
5. Wade brought up the Commanders game and Garrett’s incompetence while the defense didn’t allow a single TD. They even hit a ten yard holding penalty before the fumble on offense, meaning the offense was blowing games. And of course the defense gave up, because the offense was turning the ball over and losing games that the defense won. The OFFENSE COMITTED 19 TOs by the time Wade got fired. The defense generated 5 TOs against the Giants and the Cowboys still lost.
The last two games that were blowouts were because the Dallas offense committed 8 TOs in a span of two games. The GB game was the final straw, because they lost Romo the game prior.
6. And even then, like I said, the defense didn’t even do anything much after Wade was fired anyways. They were still giving up points like crazy, had multiple games where they gave up over thirty plus points and the only difference was the TO ratio, like I said. The offense still gave the ball up, but made a more concerted effort to run the ball and Dallas basically just beat teams that were already out of the play-off rave and sucked.
