*** Official Fire/Hate Garrett Thread ***

[TheCoolFan]

Garrett doesn't get his players ready to play. Even the starters look lost out there at times and struggle with fundamentals but backups who should be ready to fill in don't know their assignments either. Tanner comes in and completely runs the wrong direction on a play that should have been a play action fake, then he whiffs on a block.

Meanwhile Coughlin has some guy named Stevie Brown come in and look like a superstar at safety. There is a culture of unpreparedness and zero accountability. No one feels any real pressure to perform to perfection so it's no surprise you see the same errors every week.

And that is just the game prep aspect of Garrett's flaws as a coach. His playcalling is another story

 

[ScipioCowboy]

I'd like to see what Bill Cowher could do with this lot.

It's annoying, and it shows that Jerry tried to out smart everyone by making a failure as an OC, a head coach.

Its the same thing when we were trying to replace Aikman. He couldn't go the traditional route of drafting one with a high round pick. He had to try and find a 'bargain', to outsmart the league by finding an ex-baseball player that no one else saw so he could not only get a QB but look like a genius getting him.

Quincy, Chad and Drew had awesome careers.

Everyone calling for Romo's head now, just remember who is picking his replacement.

Dungy and Rodney Harrison just called out Garrett on half time SNF. Said penalties and unprepared situationally, all on red.

Yes they did. Essentially saying it happens once or twice for pretty much every team, but this is consistent which is a sign of the head coach. Even Tony Dungy called out the last quarter play-calling essentially agreeing with Harrison in this context. Harrison said in summary, the situational stuff is just sloppy and bad.

Excellent point. His offense, mainly, looks lost. And this is funny to me since his M.O. was that he was a strict, attention to details type of coach, and I see no evidence of such.

With jerry as GM I'll give you a hint.

He can't even manage himself properly. How is he going to manage a team?

Let me add this. A few things you don't play around with when you're running a franchise. Quarterback, and head coach. You need these 2 things to be top-notch if you're ever going to go somewhere. And I'm sure there are instances where this didn't come in to play, but for the most part, don't screw around with those 2 positions.

This guy is a joke. Get Gruden or Chip Kelly here next year already

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

This is EXACTLY the thought I had. They had 90 seconds, 3 time outs and it was 2nd and 1 deep in NY territory. So what do they do? Take 3 shots at the end zone.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Aside from the fact that it was SECOND AND ONE, the LAST THING they should have been doing is hurrying up to score as fast as possible.

I was screaming at our bum head coach from 2500 miles away re the same. Three timeouts and you have 2nd and 1, run it up to even twice and you probably get it as the box isn't stuffed due to the prevent defence.

Not Garrett though.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

I don't disagree. But if there was a coach who could handle Jerry, it's Cowher. Just my opinion.

So did Lombardi on twitter. Said their situational playcalling is a disgrace.

Done with Gingerhead. enough is enough

 

[VThokie7]

It is nice to see the media start to call out Garrett and question his abilities. Hopefully that will lead to the change we need to ever get anywhere.

too bad the Dallas media is in love with him.

yep, I remember being told how he would instill discipline, make the players responsible etc. Oops

 

[Trajan]

I'd like to see what Bill Cowher could do with this lot.

I think it would be similar to Parcells arrival and dramatic improvement over Campoo. Garrett is costing games, I don't think Cowher makes the novice management mistakes Garrett is.

Cowher is my favorite choice above all others.

Not Garrett though.

Come to think of it, if Garrett had at minimum lined Romo up under center, I'll bet any one of those 3 pass plays work. Just the threat of a run would change how the defense defends you.

But you go in a shotgun?

Every week it's something. And it's like we're on the verge, but our Coach does something to screw it up. That's usually reserved for the players, which are also screwing things up by the way.

 

[Iron_Man]

Not to mention there was 1:19 on the clock, no reason not to run the ball on 2nd, bootleg, or screen.

2nd and 1 from the 20 and we call a out again and miss on it.
3rd and 1 we go endzone. Why?
4th and 1 and the Oline lets everyone walk into the backfield.

We only need 1 yard, run it once there, we still have 3 time outs.
Then after we get the 1st, the start trying to go endzone.

Can this season be over soon enough so we can let Garrett walk and bring in a true play caller and a true head coach that can manage a game.

 

[ConstantReboot]

Yes Romo threw 4 INTs but we were still in the game at the very end. This is where I have trouble with Garrett. Garrett has terrible coaching skills when the game is on the line. He calls the wrong plays or just has no time management skills.

We had 2nd and 1 and we could have easily ran it for a 1st down. Or at least call a time out and settle things down with Romo. We called 3 passing plays in a very crucial time of the game and Garrett failed to communicate with Romo on one play to make a 1st down.

This is simply bad coaching which I blame Garrett. He has done this many times but I don't think he's learned anything. He just doesn't have a feel for the game and when the game is on the line he doesn't know what to do.
