Don't remember hearing these Jerry excuses when Wade or other coaches were here.
But Jason is special. He's a victim. It's all Jerry's fault.
I think this thread is more like Jerry and Steven are ego maniacs who have to get credit and have to be heard creating a situation where Coaches are not the final voice or most important person to the players which in turn leaves us with only being able to hire guys like Jason Garrett.
at least to me that is the issue. Wade had the fortunate and unfortunate timing of following Parcells in a city where the media (mostly) loved him. Wade was the complete opposite, not funny, thin skinned and liked to gloat when it wasn't warranted. Great defensive coach but a bad guy to have being the voice of the organization. The media pounced on him immediately because he wasn't parcells and then he went and said they won the bye week and the locals lost their mind and treated him like garbage for the rest of his time here.
and sadly Wade's inability to communicate with the media like Bill did led a lot of people to believe Garrett was just what was needed because he doesn't give the media a chance to attack him. terrible reasoning for hiring someone but it seems looking back it maybe reason number 1. he never turned into "Bill Walsh" as was said locally or Tom Landry.
going forward a complete coaching staff clear out is necessary but the reality is Jerry and Steve are going to hire the next guy and it has the potential to be a disaster because of the way they treat things day to day.
