NFLN survey/popular coach

NFLN survey/popular coach: Cowboys

IRVING, Texas -- In the latest installment of the NFL Nation survey, coaches enter the mix.

The 320 players asked could not pick their own head coach, so after the final vote was tallied, 28 head coaches received at least one vote. One defensive coordinator received two votes. Who? Former Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips.

Jason Garrett received one vote. Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was the winner with 77 votes.

Locally, the Cowboys’ vote was split between four coaches with two votes apiece. And all four were coaching in the conference championship games. Carroll, John Fox, Bill Belichick and Jim Harbaugh each received two votes among the Cowboys polled.

Mike Tomlin and Tom Coughlin received one vote each.

What does it say? The reputation that others might have of these guys as either tough guys or player coaches doesn’t matter. Winning matters. All of them have coached (or in Carroll’s case will coach) in a Super Bowl. Belichick, Coughlin and Tomlin have Super Bowl rings.

For Garrett to get more votes, he will need to win.

Hmmmm wonder who that one vote came from. Probably someone on here finagled a vote somehow.
Wade with more votes than Red?

So much so that he got one whole vote!!

I miss the days when the coach was the face of the franchise hierarchy.

Now its just one big ameba of titles, and the bad aura of jj last 18 years.

I know many say you can't blame jg, but he doesn't strike me as a leader, he's a follower. Players want a leader to respect. Hopefully one of our other 2 or 3 assistant head coaches can offer that voice.

I'm hearing that Garrett commands a room. I just don't know if there's anyone else in it with him when he is supposedly commanding it.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

I'm not sure how much respect Jason has league wise. Obviously not much in this poll.

Name one good reason for anybody to respect JG at this point? Forget the on-the-field performances -- I find it very hard to respect him because he has let himself by emasculated by the owner/GM.

Owner/GM picks the assistant coaches.

Owner/GM decides who call the plays.

If anything, I suspect most of the other NFL coaches pity him.

It's the NFL equivalent of the guy who isn't allowed to make any decisions (major or minor) without his wife's say-so.

This is screaming players want a coach who knows what they're doing. Trust. Respect.

Not a guy they have to put up with while he's cutting his teeth.

 

[DallasEast]

Most likely, the player selections are cluster samplings. Assuming NFL nation reports grouped ten players per team (e.g. 320 players/32 teams), that would create a reasonable statistical pool if evenly distributed.

Other than total number of players polled, has anyone read any details involved in the surveying process on the NFL nation site? I could not locate it.

Another useless survey. And another let's hate JG thread.....and let's blame it on JJ....

 

[KJJ]

Jerry must have been the one who gave Garrett his only vote.

 

[Irving Cowboy]

Another useless survey. And another let's hate JG thread.....and let's blame it on JJ....

Yet you felt the need to respond.

It's not a "hate JG thread", as much as it is proof positive that he is not as well respected around the league as some here who claim to be in the know have been preaching as gospel. Amazing how those people have nothing to say now.

Of course this is all just another evil ploy by the media devils to roast JG.

That survey proves nothing to me. I yes I felt I needed to respond. So I did. Is this against the rules?
