News: Op-Ed: Firing Head Coach Jason Garrett would set Cowboys back a decade

[JoeKing]

No coach being fired sets a program back a decade. Coach Landry was the heart and soul of the Cowboys for 29 years yet the team won the Super Bowl 3 out of 4 years shortly after his firing.

.500 with an elite QB at the helm, no-less.

Now you know that's a lie. What's his record with a healthy Romo

 

[Idgit]

It's kind of a dumb argument. If he just said Jason Garrett is a good coach and a unique fit for this organization, I'm 100% on board with that.

The Scandrick quotes, though, are more nice support from the players for the HC. I'll keep saying and saying it: there are lots of reasons why teams aren't as successful as they'd like to be in the NFL. Our problems have been mostly related to needing to bring in consistency and structure on the staff (not just the coaches, but from the scouts and coaches on down), discipline re: the cap, and the fact that we had an aging and declining roster in a lot of areas back in 2010. Garrett's made his share of mistakes, but he handles the crazy and the distraction better than most. His players definitely respect him. His bosses love him. His staff's got his back. We've seen enough HCs under Jerry at this point to know that these things aren't always easy to achieve amidst the chaos the owner invites.

If we can just continue to develop the young players we're drafting, we're on the right track.

8-8, 8-8, 8-8 and losing every last game of the regular season that could have put the team in the playoffs. Romo was healthy for all of those games.

What on earth does that have to do with my question? Did you reply to the wrong post?

What if 8-8 was actually a good record for the teams we were fielding at that time? For every 'Romo was healthy' argument, there's an offsetting 'one of the worst defenses in the league' argument. Sometimes getting a bad team to .500 is not evidence of a coaching problem. No matter how much second guessing of play calling fans want to do.

It was reported at .590 w/a healthy Romo. JG's record is .500. We also lost every last game of the regular season under JG, with a health Romo, that would have put this team on the playoffs.

What gives with the spewing of sound logic and injection of objectivity?...it'll set this site back for a decade.

Franchise QB = 8-8 and no playoffs? What other HC's get that kind of rope?

Hopefully we live long enough to witness it.

Depends on which posters you're referring to.

Hey, the organization has some significant structural problems. We all know that. The question is, what's the best way to work around them since they're not going anywhere.

You have to look at more than the QB position on any football team.

OK and I know all of that. But that has nothing to do with my post whatsoever.
I was responding to some one who Said Garrett had a .500 record with an elite qb at the helm, which he is not.

So you're telling me in a decade we'd be competitive again?

#FIREDNOW !!!

Okay, barely over .590 like in the second response?

And no he wasn't. Romo missed the 2013 last game to get into the playoffs.

I'm seeing 40-28 with Romo as the starter in the Regular season. that's Well over .500 as the OP stated. So where did you come in and get mixed up at again?

 

[BigStar]

And no he wasn't. Romo missed the 2013 last game to get into the playoffs.

Oh yeah, Orton...you're right there. Wasn't that the DET/GB debacle year perpetuated by JG as well; shouldn't have come to winning the last game of the season?

 

[BigStar]

actually that's not even right either.

Used what was in the thread. Why don't you look it up then and post your findings/source???

Franchise QBs are supposed to give you a pretty big head start in being competitive...
