Idk.
Garret was like a second son to JJ. He wanted him to succeed.
I just cant believe he ripped him all of his power in what was his eventual last year.
Richards on the other hand sucked when given more competence. He was run out of Seattle. And now with more power in Dallas look how bad the defense played.
To touch on what you said about Richards sucking I agree, but you only have to look as far as him and Marinelli running two different schemes that weren't working together advantageously. Garrett was desperate to keep his job, sure he allowed the dysfunction between Richard and Marinelli because his sole responsibility was getting the troops ready for war. The problem that many of us saw was that when things starting going well all of the sudden we would see a coaching staff that seemed afraid to stick with what is working or adjust. The thing I'm saying is it was so toxic and screwed up that the up and down product we viewed was a direct reflection on Garrett being there well past his welcome but still trying to be involved as most of us would.. It's was Jerry's fault at the end of the day for allowing it to happen, but it was crazy dysfunctional. Basically there was no chief, just lots of Indians.
