All of this has been obvious for years. Garrett is a terrible game manager. That alone would get a HC fired, but not Garrett. How many times have we seen him mismanage game situations? But Garrett is not the only problem. Look at this defense. They have two top DEs, a top CB, good LBs and some other guys are are pretty good too. But they run the same defensive schemes all the time and rarely show something new to confuse the offense they face. The never get turnovers and when they must make a big stop on 3rd down, they look overmatched. I don't like to see people getting fired by there are a lot of coaches on this team that need to go.
But then again, who does Jerry hire? If he hires a head coach that the new HC says he want to bring in his own offensive coordinator, will Jerry allow him to end the Moore experiment? Will he allow the new HC to dump Columbo? or some other favored coach? In other words, will the new HC have the freedom to operate around Jerry? If the answer is no, the we,as fans, should not expect that firing Garrett is going to change a thing.
If the Cowboys head coaching job opens up, it should be a prime spot for a good coaching staff. Why? They have a lot of talent, an owner who is willing to spend money to keep that talent, and top notch facilities. But, its won't be because of Jerry. Everything else that would attract a top coach to the Cowboys is negated by an owner who wants a say in everything. I am afraid the Cowboys mess is going to continue for as long as Jerry is involved in this team.
The best we can hope for is that a new head coach will manage his time outs, the clock, challenges and 4th down decisions better than Garrett. Maybe that's enough but I don't think so.
