News: Spagnola: Sometimes Common Sense Must Step In Front Of The Firing Line

[CCBoy]

Dallas was an expansion team that had to be built from the ground up.

Garrett has free agency and a franchise QB, with a whole bunch of talent already in place.

Jerry, just stop with the defend JG marketing scam your engaging in this off-season..

Stop smearing Landry's legacy.. You sound like the Garrett-homers on this forum a couple years back... Looks like your borrowing their arguments from years back..

Even most of them don't buy the Tom Landry nonsense your selling anymore..

Roll me over...in the clover...do it again...

I could debate for hours that keeping Garrett is a purely emotional reaction.

I dont besmirch anyone from earning a living, but it would kill me if I had to be in PR and always spin someone else's decision as "right" - also why I didnt go into law like others in the family. I guess you have to embrace the ever changing dynamic and "challenge" of the job

Funny that a Red Defender would refer to common sense when every defense of Red for 5 years now has been childlike fantasy and imagination void of any semblance of common sense. Only in a fantasy world does one appeal to common sense for keeping a HC that has ONE winning season out of 5. As if a half a decade isnt enough to give him a fair shot . . . . . . . . .

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the very good example of a public relations piece. A more derisive term would be propaganda. It has all the hallmarks. My two favorite aspects of the piece, which make successful public relations in my considered and studied opinion, is 1) its one-sided viewpoint (backed by quotes from seemingly authoritative sources, Jones and Romo), a viewpoint it labels as "common-sense" and 2) its classification of any contrary view as inferior, in this case as guided by emotion (i.e., frustration).

That was the funny part to me. They are quoting Stephen Jones, as an authoritative voice on evaluating the "coaching job" Garrett did. First of all, Stephen Jones just handed Garrett a 5 year 30m deal.....and would have to pay Garrett 24 million to go away.....so of course has incentives for suggesting stability is the best course of action.

Secondly, what evidence suggests Stephen knows what a good coach looks like. This franchise has been in a drunken stupor since Jimmy left the building....they have shown ZERO evidence that they can build a consistent winner. And no I am not saying playoffs/Super Bowl every year....but 20 years later....we have produced very little winning.....so the results suggest this front office does not know what it is doing. And yet the front office does not change. So I do not trust their opinion on football maters.

Lastly, this front office knows it lacks credibilty with the REAL fanbase. This franchise sells a football "experience". Which is why they make sure they have "something" for "everybody". You don't have to like football. You can be fans of other teams. You could just like to party. This franchise wants the house full for a party every day of the week. Concerts, basketball games, wrestling, high school football, monster mash, dirt bike, fans of Steelers, fans of 49ers, fans of Packers etc....EVERYONE is welcome to the dance. And the PRIMARY goal of this front office is to make sure you come back....so they have built an empire whose success is not predicated on the results produced by the "home" team!
