I'd probably get a lot of downvotes for this thread if that were an option, but fortunately it isn't.
I'm as disappointed as anyone this season. I had completely retreated from sports years ago outside of Dallas Cowboys football and UNC Basketball, and was as hyped as anyone about this season only to be crushed like a clavicle in Week 2. While I don't think the Coryell system is as bad as some here, it definitely needs some "updating", and I thought Linehan was the guy to get it done. Maybe, maybe not, but I think judging the coaches based on super conservative playing with bad QBs is an incorrect approach to analysis.
Despite problems across the team this year, I believe they are all easily fixable in the offseason, and that the lack of a top 10 QB is being handwaved by the boobirds on the board. This D is young and hungry, and Marinelli has showed he is willing to dial up the pressure as he has confidence in both his players and the other side of the ball. Garrett and Linehan aren't BB, but no one else in the league is either. I believe we have the best we are going to get with Jerry alive, and that it's good enough to be commanding the division next year and into the future with Romo or an understudy in command. Of course, all of this is contingent on getting a legitimate understudy.
Some guys on here want to discount Garrett's non-gameday abilities. You can learn time management and you can tweak your Xs and Os. Organizational and motivational skills are nearly impossible to teach. Id rather have someone born with the latter.
