Do it in the locker room, not on the centre of the pitch when you just got whipped by one of your biggest rivals. He's standing there like a subservient dog waiting for his ear to be scratched. Embarrassing.

What does it matter where he did it? Did it change the outcome of the game? Did it cost us a championship? What's embarrassing is that after all these years and a retirement, people are still talking about this. Must be embarrassing to all those played who asked for Kobe Bryant's autograph this past season. Unbelievable. The things fans hold on to........

When was he ever a bad choice,

 

[dogunwo]

Wonder what his official role will be?

Teaching Elliot about Tulius

 

[muck4doo]

Wait, this is really true? We grab the best RB in the draft, and we ask Tashard Choice to mentor him?

 

[dogunwo]

Where's the guy with one of the greatest sig pic ever? "100% Pure instant Backup RB"

 

[QT]

Might as well bring back Troy Hambrick to coach too...

Well they didnt like him to begin with, this is the most valid thing they have to complain about.

I liked him when they got him, liked him as a cowboy, thought he should have been given a better opportunity, and then forgot about him. I have no idea what people are holding on to.

This organization just gets dumber and dumber.

Jerry sure loves him a good redemption story.

One of my least favorite Cowboys in recent memory is now on the staff, fantastic.

maybe he can teach zeke how to be a clown

 

[zrinkill]

We need to bring in Martellus Bennett to work on Zeke's effort and how to hold the ball high and tight.

This is sort of off topic, but I have been sort of disappointed in Garrett ability to uncover coaching talent. I am on board of bringing in old vets who have years of experience. I think that is a good strategy. Although I was hoping he would have a keen eye for coaching talent. Not every coach has it but I thought a young coach who was more cerebral would have this talent. I don't want to bring everything back to Parcells but looks at his staff he patched together when he was here. Not everyone was unknown but they certainly were not star coordinators. It is quite remarkable how many of his coaches while he was in Dallas went on to become head coaches or assistant coaches. Not all had long term success as head coaches but I think it is quite apparent Parcells had that eye for coaching talent.

Cowboy06, we don't allow adults in this forum.

LOL. I love sarcasm. Well said.

 

[Q_the_man]

What is he coaching?

Keep him away from Zeke!

Great players= horrible coaches, bad players = good coaches

Well I wouldn't expect a casual to understand the passion of fans. Yes doing it on the pitch as opposed to the locker room makes a difference. Not understanding this is just being deliberately ignorant. Why do you find what real fans care about as embarrassing? Clearly your to good for all the minutia surrounding the team of the pitch.

And Yanks have the best sense of humor, I am told.

Dallas Cowboys
Choice was selected in the fourth round (122nd overall) of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. His first career carry came in the season opener against the Cleveland Browns, where he had five attempts for 26 yards. He did not receive another carry until week 7 against the St. Louis Rams, after he replaced fellow rookie Felix Jones as the backup running back, who had suffered a torn hamstring against the Arizona Cardinals in week 6 and later a season ending torn ligament in his left toe during his recovery process.

He was used primarily on special teams until injuries to Marion Barber forced the team to play him against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who at the time had the best defense in the NFL.Choice surprised by registering 23 carries for 88 yards, and five receptions for 78 yards.

This started a stretch of playing time against some of the league's best defenses. The following week against the New York Giants, he rushed 9 times for 91 yards, caught 4 passes for a team-high 52 receiving yards and scored his first career touchdown. On December 20 against the Baltimore Ravens, he rushed 17 times for 90 yards, caught seven passes for 25 yards and scored a touchdown.

He finished his rookie season as a player on the rise, based on his late-season starts where he recorded 472 rushing yards, 185 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns.

Choice began the 2009 season behind Marion Barber and Felix Jones on the depth chart, but injuries to both of those players gave him more playing time in week 3 against the Carolina Panthers, registering 18 carries for 82 yards, 4 catches for 36 yards and one touchdown in a win. On October 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs, he had 8 carries for 92 yards and a touchdown.

After the week 7 game against the Atlanta Falcons his workload was reduced when Barber and Jones returned. The rest of the year he was used mostly in what was called the Razorback formation, which was the team's variation of the Wildcat offense. He finished the season with 349 rushing yards, 132 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns.Because he was seen as a starting-caliber player, the Cowboys received trade offers for Choice, but declined them all.

In 2010, during the season opener he fumbled with four seconds left in the first half, which led to a Washington Commanders' touchdown as time expired that proved to be the difference in the game. Although the call was heavily criticized, after the incident he would not see much action during the team's second worst start in franchise history (one win in their first eight games), that eventually cost the job of head coach Wade Phillips. His special teams shortcomings were also being criticized during the losing streak. On December 5 against the Indianapolis Colts when the season was already lost, he rushed 19 times for 100 yards and a touchdown in a win.

In 2011, the Cowboys drafted DeMarco Murray which put Choice's roster sport in jeopardy, after injuries including a hamstring strain and a minor knee injury limited him to play in only one out of four preseason games. He began the regular season as the backup running back behind Felix Jones.[20] After Jones suffered a sprained ankle, he was named the starting running back in the week 7 game against the St. Louis Rams, but Murray had a performance for the ages, breaking several league and franchise rushing records.

Choice was waived on October 29, with the team deciding to give a bigger role to undrafted rookie Phillip Tanner. He finished his Cowboys career with 250 rushing attempts for 1,139 yards (4.6-yard average), 3 lost fumbles and 8 rushing touchdowns. His longest rushing play went for 66 yards. He also added 64 receptions for 497 yards (7.8-yard average) and no receiving touchdowns.

Say, Mods, the headline to this is a bit startling, don't you think?:
Tashard Choice - New Dallas Coach

Makes me suddenly like Garrett. A lot, blokes.
