One thing Garrett Does Have

[Stash]

I thoroughly believe he values what it means to be the coach of the Cowboys. I don't believe any coach since Landry truly understood what that means. Johnson was a great coach, but he didn't truly value it like Garrett. I'm not saying it makes him a good coach. In my opinion, he's not. I do think he started out trying to instill the pride of being a Cowboy in his players, but he's failed or given up trying.

Say what you want about him, the man truly understands what it means to be a Cowboy.

You mean he truly understands what it is to be mediocre? To run a Country Club type atmosphere? To be cocky and entitled when you havent earned anything? To have no accountability?

Yep, he sure knows what it is to be a Cowboy!!!! Go Cowboys!!!

You can bet the players DREADED Jimmy's and Parcellls camps a lot more than Reds county club...

If I wanted to create a profiling thread to figure out who I should ignore to better enjoy my blogging experience, I think this would be the perfect thread to do it. This thread is going to be magnet for people who take this game way to seriously. Get your popcorn ready!

Garrett certainly values his sweet gig. He knows he will never get one as sweet again.

I think that of all the Coaches we've had here, since Coach Landry, the one who understood best, what it meant to be a Cowboy was Dave Campo. He understood, truly what it meant. He was here for the Championship years as a Position Coach, he took the Job when he knew we had no talent left, we had no cap space, we had no draft picks and we were terrible. I think he knew that he was here only long enough for the Cowboys to get out of the whole they were in and then he was gone. I truly believe that. Never complained, never said a word about the things that were said about him. I can not prove it but I would guess that Campo was a much better Coach then we ever saw. He was truly in a no win situation with a horrible team and he sucked it up and never complained. He understood and appreciated it, even if the Fan Base never liked him.

I would say, believe it or not, that the next in line would be Phillips. Phillips grew up watching the Cowboys from the view of the Astrodome. The Oilers had a few good years back in the day but they always played second fiddle to the Cowboys and I will always believe that that was one of the biggest reason for them leaving. I think he understood 100% what the Cowboys were and meant to the NFL and their fan base.

Garretts camps make Wades camp cupcake look like boot camp.

Being the coach of the Cowboys meant something when we were winning Superbowls. Hell, it meant something when we could make the playoffs consistently. It means jack now. Jerry has grinded the franchise's reputation into dust, just like his senile brain.

Garrett is the new whipping boy for the Dak Zoids here as Dez was and Chaz etc etc.....I'll say it again and again working for Jerry Jones is not a easy task......with a GOOD QB back there we would be 6-2 at least now and smiling and even saying Garrett is a good coach etc etc ...instead we're Dak-Dead once again....like last season.....remember ????

So by your logic, does this mean Tony Romo was trash as well?

After all, according to you, with a "GOOD QB" the fans would "even saying Garrett is a good coach etc etc", but even with Romo, plenty of people were calling him a crap OC before he became HC, and then a crap HC once he took over.

Then add all the other QBs that had hard times being a "GOOD QB" under Garrett, when will Garrett have a "GOOD QB" to finally become a "good coach"?

IF he truly valued the cowboys franchise and history , image etc, he would step down as HC.
In fact he should have already.
he is part of the problem, and he is out of ideas and slogans.
he knows he cant produce a winner, he is just hanging on to stack more millions.

Did he clap when they celebrated on the star? JG is pathetic.

Jimmy completely rebuilt the team, coached 2 SB winners (also assisted on Switzer’s win, seeing as how it was mostly the team Johnson built) during his short Cowboys tenure.

Jimmy’s Super Bowl wins ARE what it means to be a Dallas by-God Cowboy...NOT yes-man Garrett’s “trying.”

24/7/365...all day long!

Saints, Rams will be playing in this years championship game.

 

[Clove]

Without coming off too rude, who cares? Winning is the name of the game, just win baby, just like Jerry used to say.

The man truly understands what it means to be a loser. A perennial loser, big time.

Jimmy Johnson was not a nice guy coach. Bill Parcells was not a nice guy coach. Tom Coughlin was not a nice guy coach. Bill Belichick is not a nice guy coach. They may be (or have been) nice guys away from the field, but on the field and around the team, they were/are not nice guys. What they are though is winners.

Fans want (or should want) coaches who are winners over everything. NFL player careers are short. Wasting them on nice guy or inept coaches (or both) or otherwise unsuccessful coaches is not worth it if it means little or no post-season success.

 

[Blake]

No he doesn't. People need to see through his facade.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Did he even flinch when they danced on the Star?

he clapped

Say what you want about him, the man truly understands what it means to be a Cowboy.

He also understands what it means to clap your way to success.

I got the feeling Landry wasn't a nice guy coach either. He wasn't a scream and yelling type of guy but more like the cold stern father figure type of coach. If you watch Staubauch's retirement speech, you'd know what I mean.

 

[MCMetal69]

Yeah I think it means more to be a coach of the NY Yankees or the Boston Celtics or the Dallas Cowboys or be a car designer for Ferrari vs Chevrolet. Jobs matter...

If you don't produce immediately for the Yankees , Celtics or Ferrari , you aren't given 8 years to see if you can............................
