It's laughable. In the NFL a Head Coach sometimes strips the OC of play calling duties (example McCarthy in GB)...only in Dallas does the HC get stripped of play calling duties, what a joke!

great point.....think about that for a minute. how can anyone respect Garrett as a headcoach and leader?

isn't that the the true definition of a puppet coach??

Tom Coughlin - Yes, Tom Coughlin. Garrett has essentially had his number since he became a HC and Coughlin hasn't had an answer to it outside of having some luck and catching the Cowboys on a bad day.
Mike McCoy

Joe Philbin/Dan Campbell
Jim Tomsula
Mike Pettine

The Candidates:
Todd Haley
Doug Marrone
Hue Jackson
Josh McDaniels
Jim Schwartz
Pat Shurmur

Jason Garrett's teams fight for him. They never give up. Ever. They echo his mantra and they fight for him to the end. Even when it looked like we were going to lay an egg and give up yesterday, this team came back and fight and clawed to win even when they had nothing to win for. I'll take that in a head coach any day and twice on Sundays. Schemes can be tweaked and fixed and corrected. Leaders of men are hard to find.

Crucify me if you want. I don't care.

Considering all the retirements and suspensions that SF experienced last year that is a very bold statement.

I really don't get your point.. They were 8-8 last year, so that makes Garrett even look worse.. And this year, they still had one more win and two of our wins were with Romo..

Lmao, O'Brien has had back to back 9-7 seasons with garbage at qb

Coughlin-2 time sb champion, enough said
Dan Quinn-First year HC went 8-8, not fair to judge

Jay Gruden- First year HC has his team at 9-7 and in the playoffs when everybody thought they would be in last place again

Rex Ryan-Went to the AFC championship twice with Mark frickin Sanchez as his qb

Jim Caldwell- Has been to the playoffs 3 out of 5 seasons as a HC, includinf a SB apparence

All those coaches I mentioned are better than Garrett

i personally think Garrett is the worst coach in the league by far. Give any coach Romo, they'd get 8-8 minimum. Hell Sparano was a sub-par OC and he got Dallas at the number 2 scoring offense with Romo and TO.

Romo guarantees wins against sub-par teams every year, but he can't beat great teams on his own...

Very well said

I'm not a Garret fan but you do bring up a good point that his teams have always played hard for him. That aspect can't be ignored. Again I'm not a Garret fan but that's one point that a Garret hater has a hard time answering.

I personally think ANY team would take a step back if they hired Garrett.

I want to add to this. I wish Garret would have been fired this morning. But let's pretend he did. How many of the teams that have a coaching vacancy would make a run at hiring Garret. I believe that no one would hire Garret as a HC. I doubt he would be hired as an OC if he were fired today. Maybe a qb coach at best due to the success of Romo, some team may want to hire him to work with their young qb. But I feel there's a better chance he would remain unemployed if he got fired. IMO

And they still were 8-8 last year and this year were 5-11.. What excuse does Garrett have?

He doesnt need excuses, he has the jones boys as bosses and they like working with him.
Being a puppet coach has its advantages.

Better to just accept he will be the HC for awhile.
If Dallas makes playoffs next year , that will give JG another 10 years.

Jerry wants to have a big winner, but he likes playing gm and talking to the media more than anything else.
The jones boys have fun playing with the team and will now have a exciting draft after a losing season.
They win either way win or lose it is fun and they make about the same money either way.

And win or lose the media keeps talking to them, people buy tickets and jerseys , so they are not really affected much
by losing .

They will hype a banner year next year, and maybe it happens and maybe it doesnt , either way they win and JG stays lol.

Jerry has the perfect business, all he has to do is have a star qb, and a few big name players, and get in playoffs every few years,
and the money just rolls in.
The stadium makes a lot of non football $ TV money pays for the players, he cant lose.

Other owners , not all but some prefer winning and SB rings over just playing GM and talking to media.
Some dont have rings and want one, others have rings, and just want more of them.

I think jerry having rings makes him a little complacent in that area.

If you saw the wash game, you would see them smiling and having a good time even when down 24-0 .
They were not caring about anything but a exciting draft coming.

I think they showed they are not all that bright, by putting romo back in way too early in a season that was already gone,
and they risked Romo and then made him look bad in Carolina game.
Dez was also brought back too early, and to me he should not have come back in game one after being dehydrated.

It is well known dehydration makes bones less flexible, and that is how he broke the bone.
Also might as well have just sat him all season after that, same for tony, they are 2 key players that they need the next year.

Even if they had made the playoffs they would have not got past the div round. Tony rusty and Dez with bad foot and also rusty
and not in great shape.

Have you forgotten about all the retirements, injuries and suspensions SF had. My gosh it was in the news almost every day. That team was imploding from the inside out.

It would be cool to see a team implode from the outside in.

It's a shame that long-time quality posters such as CowboyMike, DallasEast, windward, zrinkill and Sdogo, just to name a few, can barely post anything because they'll just get pounced on for having an opinion that isn't doom and gloom and has a positive and constructive outlook.

I remember we used to complain that Garrett was too complicated and was always trying to get "cute" with the play calling. That we needed to keep it simple because our guys couldn't execute his trick plays and what not.

Now he's just vanilla.. Maybe we just need better players or smarter players...

When you say Garrett is better than Coughlin, a two-time winning SB coach that doesn't count as a quality post..
