The Case for Firing Jason Garrett and the coaching staff **merged**

[romothesavior]

Agree, it was a very gutless decision. Maybe the most gutless in a long string of gutless decisions over the past six years.

Because Jason Garrett isn't a head coach with any balls.

 

[Carson]

Get points and pray the defense can make stops.

I doubt when he kicked the 3, did he envision Carolina having a nice 7+ minute drive for a touchdown

 

[EST_1986]

Why does a case need to be made just look at his team.

 

[Wolfpack]

Has anybody in the media asked Garrett about this? We were a 3-7 team going against a 10-0 team, why would you not go for it?

He did this earlier in the year also. That's how bad of a coach he is.

I wish the media would call him out.

Garrett knew we had no chance at that point so he was more concerned with making the score look cosmetic than actually trying to win the game.

Does it even matter any more who the coach is?

This team is not structured well and it all starts and ends with Jerry.

Jason Garret doesn't have the chest to coach the Dallas Cowboys

But even with the fg, it is still a 3 score game so your best choice is going for it

Clear case of "loser syndrome". Side affects include paranoia, fear, cautious, self-doubt, and low self-worth. Very important to not drive heavy machinery, .....or coach an NFL team.

That's when I finally said to myself we were done.. Either you play to win or you go home...

 

[Wolfpack]

Let me ask all you Garrett backers a question: if JG were fired by Dallas tomorrow, is there a single team in the NFL that would consider him for a head coaching job? Hell, is there anyone who would even consider him for an offensive coordinator position?

What does that say about Garrett as a coach? And worse yet, what does that say about our franchise and its management?

Not at the NFL level. He is done.

 

[CF74]

I was furious...

Well Jerry isn't going anywhere. I see talent on both sides of the ball but this team consistently comes up shortly in big games (usually close games..see Game 17 in 2011/2012/2013). Good coaching staffs find ways to win those games but JG has found so many ways to let us down.

 

[reddyuta]

He is a fake,a charlatan and has no idea on how to adapt to what the other team is doing,Jerry will realize this soon enough.

 

[khiladi]

Sparano was assisting JG that year. He's the one that had TO involved.

Oh yeah, I don't doubt that. Which is really my point... With even an average OC like Sparano, he utilized our talent enough to get us our most explosive offense ever.

 

[Aven8]

The only thing I can get remotely excited about now is coming on this board and seeing "Breaking News, JG fired".

We can go out and sign AD, Andrew Luck, and a #1 pick, but it won't matter.

 

[Garrettop]

I'm a fan of other aspects of Garrett as a HC, but his overwhelming tendency to kick field goals/punt when he should go for it is a very legitimate problem, and one that solely falls on his shoulders. There's no FO or player execution to blame. As already noted, kicking that second field goal still left it as a 3 score game. There's not even any arcane statistical probability scenario to appeal to. Also, as already noted by others, when you are within a few yards of the endzone against an elite team, 3 pts is probably as bad as 0. Very frustrating.

Garrett has done no better than Dave Campo who had no franchise QB and only lasted three years. In four out of five years, a Garrett led team didn't make the playoffs, is 0-3 in games to make the playoffs or go home games where the team finished 8-8 in each of those seasons, and the one in which the team did make the playoffs, it has become more obvious that Garrett had nothing to do with it because it's an aberration of his pattern. If Dave Campo had Romo, he's probably guaranteed three wins each of the seasons he coached to finish 8-8 as well. Does Garrett do anything except pretend he does something?

Jerry came out and said he was effectively a "coach in training". His training has failed miserably.
