Jerry Is Proud When Our Coaches Get Opportunities

[Hostile]

I'm listening to his comments about Todd Grantham and his being hired by Georgia as the DC. You have to know that his willingness to see his coaches get opportunities is a positive inside coaching circles. I don't know that I could be that unselfish. He said they did try to keep Grantham but ultimately wanted him to have this opportunity as well.

He went right to Wade and asked him who he wanted. Not the acts of a GM who is about to make a guy a lame duck Head Coach. Wade told him that Miami had fired Pasqualoni. Jerry had a deal in 30 minutes and reported it back to Wade when practice ended. By doing so he committed to Wade for beyond this year.

The guy has his faults, but that is pretty amazing if you ask me.

If you heard Wade in PC today, you could see/hear geniune appreciation that Wade had for what Jerry did.

Wade + Jerry + Jason = Dynasty.


The Equation is foolproof

I been no Wade fan but the last 4 weeks has been the best coaching job I have ever seen from him. This team has played differently down the stretch. I don't know what he did after the Giants game but something clicked finally on this team. In all phases of the team overall they have played with focus and attention to detail; looking prepared and disciplined.

So yes he earned another year with the last 4 weeks of play no doubt in my mind.

Yes Jerry helping the coaches is a great thing it is a double edge sword you lose a great coach but at the same time it is good to have your coaches wanted.

Ultimately it is a short-term pain in losing a good coach but a long-term gain in that we will continue to attract quality up-and-comers who will want to come to Dallas knowing it will lead to bigger things down the road.

This happened lots during the Landry years with the coaching tree he sprouted. Unfortunately, I don't think any of his disciples (that I can recall) went on to develop more HCs of their own.

A similar fate fell upon the Jimmy Johnson coaching tree with multiple failures: Norv Turner (the first two times), Butch Davis, Dave Campo, Dave Wannstedt. Of course, Norv came back to find success later. He is really considered more of an offensive guy from the Coryell school of thought.

The Parcells coaching tree became somewhat fractured over the years but his tree has been greatly expanded by Belichek who have now gone out to become HCs. This is a big tree that I won't detail here. There are even some Dallas branches with Payton in NO and Sprano in Miami.

Then there is the Walsh coaching tree which is just massive with its brances.

Wade is too old to spawn such a tree at this stage. Maybe Garrett will be a guy who goes onto develop a tree. He is showing the kind of innovation that others around the league had always commented upon over the last month. He finally got us over 30 points against a quality defense for the first time in a long time last week. That is the kind of success I want to come out from here - another coaching tree out of Garrett. Our best chance is to continue to attract high quality, ambitious coaches.

Norv was brought in by Jimmy after firing Shula's kid and Norv is a Coryall Disciple. Also if you watch Garrett and some of the routes the Cowboys run you can see the Norv influence from his days as a Cowboy QB. Norv was a Zampesse Disciple who is directly linked to Air Coryall. Ernie also coached in Big D when Garrett was here. So Garret as a QB spent time with Norv and Zampesse and then a few years with Jim Fassell before he started coaching.
