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

[Doc50]

Colorado is celebrating 4/20 day. I think the writer has been stuck in Boulder for a couple of days pre-celebrating before writing the article.

Not getting Carson Wentz just set us back 10 years.

ehhhhh....

 

[Doomsday]

You can also argue that hiring JG in the first place has already set this franchise back 10 years.

 

[BAT]

HIRING Garrett as head coach set the Cowboys back TWO decades already. Let's not do anything in fear of the possible negative outcomes (never mind the possibility of a POSITIVE outcome). Keep practicing insanity Jerry.

Can someone check Patrik Walker's bank account to see if any sizeable deposits were made in the name of Jason Calvin Garrett?

Well, technically .590 with an elite QB at the helm. Romo was out hurt for many of the losses that bring the average down.

Almost all coaches lose their starting QB's for periods of time, Garrett adds little when Romo is playing and nothing when he doesn't.

Jason started Coaching the Cowboys in 2010 we have missed the playoffs 5 out of 6 years. If we project that over a 10 year stretch that comes out to making the playoffs 2 x's out of 10 years.

Question hypothetically if Jason did get fired at the end of the season who would be some of the candidates

Jerry!!! He already runs the show and sells more jerseys than any other team.

WOW!!!!!! What a stupid article.

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

I came here to make fun of this article, but it seems I'm late to the party.

Carry on.

this guy really thinks we would improve by 90 years just by firing Garrett?

 

[Beast_from_East]

Well, technically .590 with an elite QB at the helm. Romo was out hurt for many of the losses that bring the average down.

So he gets a pass for losses if his top 5 QB is injured?

Funny, don't remember old Wade getting that excuse back in 2010

In fact, Garrett went 5-3 during the interium period without Romo and he was praised for rallying the team and we had to keep him of that ability alone

Now I hear losing games is not on him if Romo is hurt? Wasn't his ability to win games without Romo during his interium period one of the main reasons we kept him?

Can somebody explain this obvious contradiction?

 

[waving monkey]

all this doesn't matter Red will serve his contract

 

[wileedog]

Let's test this theory and find out.

 

[Eddie]

Doesn't matter who the coach is. Jerry Jones cost us 21 years !!!

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

So is he saying Dallas would reverse our average win-loss record from 8-8 to 8-8 and people would get suspended for drug use and Jerry would sign shady people to the roster? Well that would certainly be tragic.

 

[cowboyblue22]

if the boys have another bad season which Is very likely I don't think garrett and his merry men survive it. I think the joneses move on to someone else.

 

[SultanOfSix]

Almost all coaches lose their starting QB's for periods of time, Garrett adds little when Romo is playing and nothing when he doesn't.

I'm not sure how he can add little when he's playing since he adds nothing when he doesn't.

Yeah, logically inconsistent, but the sentence seemed to have good flow.

Although I agree with you in that Jerry will feel outside pressure to dump Garrett and hopefully Wade Wilson as well, the question would be will he hire a strong, demanding head coach like a Johnson or Parcells who would make him feel irrelevant, insignificant, stupid and weak; or would he hire another head coach like Garrett, Campo, Phillips, Switzer or Gailey who make him feel superior, relevant, knowledgable and strong. ......wait, never mind, I think I answered my own question. I guess bring on Rod Marinelli, right Jerry?
