So, the reason our offense can't score a touchdown is solely the fault of the defensive coordinator? lol, that's some good Jerry and Garrett logic.
LOL at him including Garrett.The guys they’ve had in place, and that includes Garrett and personnel czar Will McClay, have done a pretty good job reworking the team as they’ve gone the past few years.
Rod is doing a better job than Garrett and Linnehan
We got blown out many times this season, and also had games where we scored less than 10 points. They've all sucked this season.
What is it 70% of the salary cap is spent on the offense and the offensive coaching staff can’t put together a game plan to block a beat up Seattle defense, while our young and developing defense with 30% of the salary cap can hold Seattle’s offense to less than 150 total yards. This team has some player issues, BUT the biggest problem with this team is Garrett( basic/simple game plans and schemes, lack of good in game adjustments and bad clock management at the worst times) This team will not sniff a Super Bowl until Red is gone.Ask yourself at this point what side of the ball is the problem ?
Which side is developing players

Who’s offense is it? Linehan’s and Garrett’s. We were consistently dominated in the 3rd quarter because these two do not adjust on the fly very well. Garrett is the main problem with this team, but Linehan also watched while Dak got killed by Atlanta’s mediocre right DE the whole game. I would jump for joy if they both were canned.We've actually improved defensively from last season, despite the roster turnover. We were 20th in ANY/A last year (6.4) and are 17th (6.1) this season. The main reason for the change in record is the drop in ANY/A on offense. We were 3rd last year (7.6) and are 16th (5.7) this season.
Said it better than I could.
Rod is part of the problem, sure.
But most resources have been allocated to the offense which is performing just as poorly.
It wasn't Rod whose game plan in Atlanta was "Hey Chaz Green; go be Tyron Smith".
When you combine the lack of in game adjustments and the non-existence of turnovers, it makes sense that Marinelli gets the boot.With less too.
But I think he's done. Like Garrett, his in-game adjustments seem to be lacking. Also, he's either signing off on these guys or he's letting it happen so he needs to take some accountability with the lack of talent on defense.
I made a post yesterday that coaches want to coach in Dallas. The problem is that Jerry doesn't want them.Quick. Tell us about the time Jerry didn't get the coach he wanted.
Stop with the no coaches want to be here. It's simply not true.
One thing for sure, more options if Martinelli is fired.
As a football fan, period, you should already be prepared for mediocrity; nature of the beast.If Marinelli and Linehan get fired while Garrett stays, prepare for another decade of mediocrity. I highly doubt any other decent coordinator will want to come here.
I think Breer is off in this case.One thing we need to keep in mine, Jerry, Stephen, and Jason will evaluate personnel for the entire season....... not the last few games, many of us have focused on.

3. Cowboys set to make changes, too. Jerry Jones has publicly proclaimed that Jason Garrett’s job is safe for 2018. He stopped short of giving the same assurance for Garrett’s assistants, and the list of those who won’t be examined closely next week is very short. I’m told plenty of assistant coaches have expiring contracts, which makes this an easy time for Dallas to overhaul the staff, if it so desires.
Defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli is the coach who appears to be on the thinnest ice, in part thanks to an inability to adjust on a game-to-game basis, something that showed up against an Eagles team that is very familiar to Dallas, and in how the Chargers and Packers easily roasted the Cowboys’ man-to-man looks earlier in the year. The Cowboys turned over a lot of personnel on that side of the ball, of course, and that’s part of where the problems were, but there’s also a feeling not enough was done to prop up rookies like Jourdan Lewis and Chidobe Awuzie, who were quickly thrown in the fire.
As for the offense, if the changes aren’t as big on the sideline, I’d expect there will be some significant ones coming on the field. Dez Bryant clearly has lost a step, and his ability to extend his prime will come down to whether or not he can adjust his game the way Larry Fitzgerald did a few years ago—becoming better at the little things, and dedicating himself through training and nutrition. Even if he does that, it’s clear Dallas needs to get more explosive, with Bryant not the downfield threat he once was. I’d expect an effort to fix that, and maybe add some depth to an offensive line that clearly missed Ron Leary and Doug Free.
There’s plenty of work to do for the Jones family. The good news? The guys they’ve had in place, and that includes Garrett and personnel czar Will McClay, have done a pretty good job reworking the team as they’ve gone the past few years.
Lol, exactly!Makes little sense to only flush 20% of what’s in the toilet.
