Should Garrett be the play caller?

[Redball Express]

This Linehan issue has gone as far as it should go.

I suggest Garrett take back the game day playcalling.

As in the acquisition of Cooper supposedly to give DAK his #1 WR and allow analysis of DAK..

We should analyze Linehan as his coaching is in question and we need a comparison.

Doing this should help us as Garrett has not called plays in years and the DCs will not have predictability to use against us.

We need to do something before it all crashes.

Any other thoughts on what to do about the playcalling?

Playcalling was forcibly removed from JG responsibilities years ago. It was done for a reason -- JG wasn't very good at it.

I don't think shifting playcalling from Linehan to JG would make any difference.

He'd be good as one of those prison shot callers.

 

[Bobhaze]

What? And take away his “walk around coach” duties?

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Jerry took away his 'play calling' ; now , for Jerry to take away that to a man he calls 'genius' just means Garrett is atrocious at it .

Plus , Garrett begged linehan to be the OC ; because he considers linehan a tutor .


Spin it as you may , Garrett is trash .

As has been pointed out several times, Linehan uses Garrett's playbook!!! I guess you have to ask yourself....do you want to keep the same playbook, but give play calling duties to someone else? Or do you completely burn Garrett's playbook and start fresh with something new??

Let the guys draw it up in the sand before each play.

Having Jason Carrot call the plays is like rotating the tires on your car. Sure you have different tires on the front now, but it's the same type of tires that were on the back.

Yes fire Linehan and let Garrett try to coach and play call his way to keeping his job or losing it.

If I was Garrett I would, If I go down in flames I want to control my own destiny.

whatever happened to the Dak Friendly offense we heard about all offseason.

Garrett/ linehan happened .

 

[CATCH17]

Absolutely not.


As bad as Linehan is he's still better then Garrett.

 

[GenoT]

The reality is, no one outside the team itself — including any of us posting here — really knows for certain exactly how the Cowboys’ play-calling duties and responsibilities are delegated. For all we know, on game-day, Garrett could have been calling many of the plays all along, since in fact he is the head coach.

Something to consider...

As long as those outside the team believe Scott Linehan is most responsible for the game-plan and play-calling, it will be a much easier sell to scapegoat and fire him, while keeping Jason Garrett, should failure of the offense be deemed the major cause of another failed postseason.

 

[Blake]

Garret should call a cab, to destination... elsewhere.

Maybe Garrett is Rose.

 

[LittleLexodus]

Interesting theory, I would support this. Can't really get worse than the past few games.

They forgot to include Dak in the Dak Friendly Offense
