Jerry: Garrett brilliant but needs playoff wins

[ShortRound]

“We got to get some playoff wins. Jason needs a championship. We all do. Our fans do,” Jones said. “We get that done and you’re going to be shocked at all of a sudden his record of coaching and his coaching qualities, all of a sudden become the most-noted thing about him, not lack thereof of playoff victories.”

Jerry has thrown down the gauntlet.

He thinks he has put together the players to win a championship. He thinks Cooper was the last piece. Now it's up the Garrett to coach them there. So if they don't win, it's on Garrett and Garrett alone.

I don't think he can do it. But we'll see.

Absolutely needs postseason wins. No question.

I heard his answer and I agree. I thought Jerry was sending the message that it’s now or never for JG to make a serious run. Jerry in his rambling way, basically said that the criticism of JG is warranted.

Should be make the Conference Championship or fired.

Very true. Postseason wins will completely change the outlook on this coaching staff. People will still mock his clapping.

 

[Crown Royal]

I don't agree on the players. This is not a championship offense quite yet. Maybe it can improve, or if the Special Teams was better I'd say it's a chance, but we need to score more points.

"I'm getting to old for this shxt"

They believed in Dak so strongly that they sat Romo and let him walk.

We’re in 1st place. Now or never. Win the division and make some noise.

He can clap all he wants if he wins a Super Bowl.

In fairness to Garrett, he should have more playoff wins. 2014 was stolen by the league and 2016 took a magical play to happen.

I'm not trying to make excuses, Garrett has his warts, but it isn't as though the COwboys have gone into games and gotten blown out.

I'll add one more in defense of Garrett and the coaching staff - the rosters were garbage between when he took over (2010) and 2013. I keep seeing 1 playoff game in 8 years (some say 9). 2011-2013 were competitive only in Romo and some other bluechippers dragging garbage OLs and defenses kicking and screaming into December. Blame what you want on the coaching but 2012 was the only time I really saw any "give" on the teams, but those rosters were not playoff level anyway.

This Offense has the talent( though O line pass blocking needs to improve), but it needs more help from the coaches. Garrett and Linehan could help the Offense out a lot more by doing a better job of scheming receivers open, and being less predictable in their play calls. Throw the ball more on 1st down to help the O lineman.

 

[Aviano90]

Jerry, you are correct. Nice job. Regular season is not where legends are made. Playoffs is where all the magic happens.

 

[noshame]

Playoffs? All I need to see at this point is 2 big wins in a row, last week was a pleasant surprise, this week needs to come out strong, not timid. I also need to see him correct Scott if he goes off track. That's it.

I don't know that passing more on first down helps an OL that struggles to pass block. That said, they are 30th in the league on first down pass percentage at 53%. At least the league has no idea what they are doing in that situation, but doing it more would only help if it's successful. I don't trust this passing game enough for that.

You are making excuses. Garrett could have coached better in those games and had the players better prepared to win!

Yep. He should have coached Murray not to fumble or told a mediocre defense to stop Aaron Rodgers. Dumb coaches never get it.

 

[Sydla]

Hmmmm.

Mildly intriguing comment from King Jerry.

Its not Garrett at this point, it all rests on Dak's shoulders. This is where the big boys step up and make a name for themselves. Win the SB Dak and you get your $30M per year contract. This is where Dak can become Roger Staubach or Troy Aikman, this team is ready now Dak!
