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

[dallasdave]

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?

This team kicks way too many FGs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Anyone who does wouldn't be able to work with Jerry. I'm convinced of this.

No opinions or speculation to be found here - simply empirical, factual data:

Offensive Ranking (PPG):

2010 - #7
2011 - #7
2012 - #15
2013 - #5
2014 - #5
2015 - #29

Defensive Ranking (PPG):

2010 - #31
2011 - #16
2012 - #24
2013 - #26
2014 - #15
2015 - #17

43-38 overall record. 1 season over .500. 1 division title. 1 playoff appearance. 1 playoff win. Offensive weapons in the top five rankings of their respective positions. A defense that barely can squeeze into the top half of the league in a good year.

We work and live in a results-driven world. These results are not acceptable.

what bothers me the most is how talent depleted we really are. we have done good in the first round. but outside of the first round we have sucked. 2nd round has been a disaster. we only have murray to show in the 3rd round over the past 7 years. whose responsibility is the draft?

If the endgame is mediocrity, then I guess we're doing just fine. I would like to strive to be more than average.

2015 is an injury riddled year to two of those top 5 weapons and I would say the most important two.

Well it was still the first half and all Carolina points came from pick 6. The D was playing good and I was thinking we could pick the heat up in the 2nd half. The team just needed points.

 

[Hoofbite]

He should be fired, but he won't be.

 

[Doomsday]

I just hope Linehan is at least fired and a real OC is brought in.

 

[Bigdog]

Because Bailey was on his fantasy team and he needed the points.

 

[khiladi]

Literally, the worst coach I have ever seen for the Cowboys for watching them close to three decades... And I'm not lying..

His offense is worse than Dave Schula's was...

Garrett inherited that offense - he didn't build it. Big difference. It was Payton & Sparano who were the architect of that offense not Garrett.

Garrett just went along for the ride soaking the undeserved compliments while waiting for Uncle Jerry to give him the keys to the head coaching gig.

The system degraded overtime because Garrett slowly started to implement his own style into the mix, taking away the effectiveness of the talent the players had and making it a scheme-based offense like you see today.

I'm assuming that Jerry bought into the Red Headed Genius misconception that Garrett was really that - a "genius." Thus he went out and got got Roy Williams. A receiver they thought Garrett can work with and build a great offense around. That turned out to be a disaster because Garrett doesn't know how to use the talent given to him. Instead he just runs the same vanilla plays of the 90s and expects players to "execute."

Same issues are happening to Bryant right now. Garrett has no idea on how to draw up a game plan utilizing his talent. You don't see Bryant going in motion or in the slot or running slants or rub routes. Thats not part of Garrett's offense. He uses Bryant as a glorified decoy and run him deep while Witten and Beasley comes underneath on shorter routes.

There has been very little variations on this offense back then and not much has really changed till now. Thus we all wonder how we have all this talent and yet we are not able to produce anything. Its not the players. Its what you call the Garrett playbook and its holding this team back from realizing their potential.

In my opinion, this is the biggest obstacle why our offense has sputtered throughout the years. It only started becoming efficient when Romo is allowed to change the plays his way and allowed to make changes at the LOS pre-snap. But Tony can only do so much.

The biggest lost to this team was Callahan. Not because he was a great playcaller or the best oline coach in the NFL has ever seen. It was because Jerry gave him some of the playcalling duties and he inserted some of the much needed changes to this offense. Unfortunately, he was driven out by the FO. Him and Garrett did not see eye to eye. Thus we are now back to the same ole' vanilla offense - a curse to this team and to this organization.

Excellent points.

Is Jason still there ????????????????????????????

 

[kevm3]

If the new OC is forced to use the Garrett playbook, it won't matter who we bring in if Linehan is dismissed.

 

[dallasdave]

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?

There is a word for this "SAD"

 

[Dave_in-NC]

If your going to keep JG and say it was injuries I don't see how you can fire any one.

 

[khiladi]

If guys like Dooley and John Garrett end up with jobs, Jason will end up with a job somewhere. Even Jerry doesn't get rid of the guys he personally likes but craps the bed. He just gives them senior consulting roles, like our last year WR coach. Besides Wade Wilson, what have our WRs coaches done? We've even swapped them and they couldn't help out Garrett's crappy play-book.

 

[khiladi]

I just hope Linehan is at least fired and a real OC is brought in.

They brought in Linehan to run Garrett's offense, otherwise Callahan was scrapping it. Jason does everything in his power to resist that type of change.

Linehan is here precisely because of this fact. Jerry admitted it.

 

[Wolfpack]

Who thought a bubble screen to a tight end would be a great way to pick up 3 yards? That was a horrid call.

 

[khiladi]

Wade was fired for less

And it was really Garrett's fault anyways.. Just another fall guy in the training process of Garrett...

 

[khiladi]

Who thought a bubble screen to a tight end would be a great way to pick up 3 yards? That was a horrid call.

The same guys that thought on Romo's 3rd INT that an aged Witten could beat 59 on a seam route and not a much taller and faster Escobar...

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

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

Campo did something similar to that in 2001 when down 16 he went for PAT and argued easier to score 3 times than 2 8 point Tds. We los by two points.

it's a process
