Lol, how 'bout it. I don't even read posts more than a paragraph.I'm not watching a video almost 3 hrs long. Give me the timestamp of the highlights.

Yes, but I do have to say that Jerry has made a few good decisions as well.. Think of Jimmy Johnson, Parcells and now Big Mike.
In the video, Holley also goes on to explain how Jerry really did believe in Jason and obviously wanted things to work out with him as our coach.
Jerry definitely made a ton of mistakes with Garrett and he knows is at this point, but has moved on... The culture issue that the cowboys have faced
does get put on Jerry Jones because he allowed Garrett to exist as our coach.. No doubt it came down to Jones's pride which is definitely a character flaw.
The guy makes a lot of sense and we've seen as much from how the team plays with the same plays we call on the couch before they happenHis stats don't invalidate his experiences with Garrett.
Meh, this board has known this for 10+ years.
Most.
Some still haven't gotten the memo.
lol.........like Jesse stated. Garrett was a good man. He helped some players and people along the way but he never grew as a leader. it happens in all walks of life.. It is Jerry's fault. He held onto Garrett 7 seasons too long. We are going to miss the discipline Mon-Thur but game day blah!!!funny all these guys that have been cut talk like this, yet . Lee says he made him a better player than he thought he could be,Heath said he appreciated the way he coaches the team, and Lewis who couldn't get playing time said he Loves the guy the guy to death. then you have this from Aikman saying players are going to miss him.

I didn't watch the whole video but after Holley started talking I couldn't stop watching.. I finally turned it off after about 45 minutes. I think Holley is telling it how it is, and has no reason not to.. I think it was gripping that he was so unfiltered! Guys allude to things about Garrett all the time, but Holley spelled out things in a way that no one here ever has. He actually used analogies to explain his thought process which I appreciated.
I don't think Jesse was malicious at all, to me it seemed he was just speaking facts and his truth from experiences. He thinks very very highly of Big Mike as a coach.
Trust me, it's worth your time to listen! It really made me feel good about our future moving forward having heard just how unqualified Garrett was in his tenure put in that context. Like I said, it's the most candid I've heard someone in the know talking about Garrett.I'll have to give it some sort of listen (unless someone does a transcript!)
The typical excuse.None of this is new from Holley. He’s made these same points, my times. Put him with TO and the handful of other guys who didn’t like Jason. Ten years, 53 guys per year. The fact that you only hear complaints from cancers and fringe roster players is pretty telling.
Amen. Holley is no expert other than winning a reality show. He’s a shock jock.Ooooooohh......oooohhhhh Jesse Holley. Won a reality tv show to get the 80th spot and a rookie contract with the Cowboys. Wasn't all surprising with TO gone and Irvin's backing.
And what an amazing career! Two years, 7 receptions, 169 yds, 0 TDs. Two punt returns for 17 yds.
He had more dirt on Garrett, than TDs! He had more dirt on Garrett than the law allows and was dropped after an illustrious two year career. Sounds like someone who would say anything to get a spotlight.
Scandrick who goes after everyone said he had nothing bad to say about Garrett and that’s surprising given how long he knew him and that the defense never was able to perform. Surprised he didn’t blame Garrett for not wanting to invest in better personnel or more aggressive schemesNone of this is new from Holley. He’s made these same points, my times.

I take a grain of salt on all this.Yes, but many don't really understand the extent of the dysfunction. There are still tons of guys on this forum that blame the players and don't give Garrett enough credit for the failures of our team as a whole. All I'm saying is that Holley really spelled everything out in a way that I've seen no one on here do. He breaks stuff down very candidly.
The fact that he was only with Garrett as head coach for his first 1 1/2 years minimizes his comments though. An opinion based on 1 1/2 years with a guy that wasn't giving you the playing time you wanted isn't really an objective opinion on Garrett's career. I also believe his opinion is minimized by the fact that far and away most players at least say they respect Garrett as a person even if they feel he fell short as a coach. There is also a question of whether he is exaggerating somewhat to help sell his radio show. The more soap opera he can surround that with, the more attention his show will get.
Before anyone starts the silly "Garrett Lover" nonsense, I was fully on board with letting him walk, and had been for a couple of years. But this all we know Holly's comments to be based on is a personality conflict, which naturally will happen in the NFL, as it does with all other occupations, and with limited exposure to Garrett as a head coach, and possibly some ulterior motives.
