*** The Official Garrett Watch Thread ***

[Corso]

Corso--- i just need to hear the news Garrett is gone.....it would make me happier than if we made the playoffs this year

It's coming. It's definitely coming.

 

[coult44]

Most entertaining thread of the year.

I’m interested in knowing who you want as the coach of the Cowboys and why? Who do you not want?

 

[Corso]

5 stages of grief. Stage 1 denial. That’s what we’re in. “He would’ve said Jason is still Garrett by now!” And “he’ll be gone by the 14th!” Just admit it guys. He’s going to be here next year. Damn

My man! How are you feeling bud? You juiced, or juicing?
I gotta tell ya, I'm enjoying this.

I think sometimes we a fans often forget about the human side of this. Regardless of how we feel about Coach Garrett he has a family and no doubt that the Jones know his wife and his kids by name they have been around the man for along time. To us it's about football to them about firing a man, A Friend. This is what happens when you mix business with friendship. It happens far too often in Dallas. Coaches stay around to long players that are beyond their prime
get over paid this is our Dallas Cowboys a billion dollar business being run like a mom & pops store. New Coach ? When do we get a new FO

Jerry can't you do anything right?

Jerry is sitting in his office with a bottle of JW Blue and playing "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday" by Boyz II Men on repeat.

I don't think it matters. I think the BTB mentality to where he will sell himself on the next as a brilliant move no matter what.

I want a guy who tunes the outside world out and gets the team to do the same, in-season.
I want a guy who can manage the flow of a game and get his men to make proper adjustments.
I want a guy who makes his troops run through walls.
I want a guy who can look at his opposing sideline and make an instant adjustment to win a play/game.

Who is that guy? I don't have that expertise. I only know what I want.

Could Garrett end up as General Manager?

 

[zeke21]

I'm a little more understanding than most of you.. I think this season was a gut punch for Jerry.. I really really think he, like all of us, thought we were on the cusp.. not just of playoffs but a deep run. I think he opened the cheque book and followed the information he got from his very trusted HC that they were coming to the end of the a very long 'process' and this would be it.

Jerry is a lot of things but at his core I truly think he loves this team and wants success. You could see in his face whilst he watched the last couple of weeks the disappointment and anger too.

So he gets to the end of this season and he knows that he has to fire/not retrain Garrett. His adopted son. He wakes up knowing that he probably threw his best chance of success out when he stabbed his other adopted sons (Romo and Dez) out.. on the say so of the same HC. He has spent 25 years grooming Garrett to be the best.. to lead the best team.. he has paid players again and again and again and again in the hopes of bringing success and yet.. nada. He has agents for Dak, Jones and Cooper (plus plenty more) banging down his door.. he probably knows that we need a lot of help on defence.. our draft position is weak and media is jumping all over every decision as being wrong. He has to face that his famous "jerry calls" have all, bar none, failed. This is a man that is used to success and now everything is failing around him. I don't care what face he puts to the media.. he is just like every other fan.. he knows this season is failure.

Right now he knows that Garrett has to go but it is like firing your own son.. it will be gutwrenching for them all and you have the media just waiting and waiting. He knows he has to pay Dak but is also aware that the dude just may not have it and he will be judged. I don't think he is enjoying this one bit. I really don't. I think Jerry wanted to be parading around with his wonderkid QB Dak, his HOF coach Garrett and preparing for playoffs and superbowls. I am fearful he won't have the guts to follow through but I do believe Jerry knows what he has to do now.

It sure makes it easier to be let go when you have millions of dollars

I’ll be feeling pretty good if Jerry let’s Garrett back cause ill be turning in my fan card for this team

He even plays their Spanish version (it exists).

 

[Chuck 54]

I see nothing wrong with allowing Garrett to conduct player exit interviews and thank guys individually and wish them well. What possible harm is there? How is this dysfunctional in any way? Does anyone actually think today or tomorrow, this week or next week, actually has any impact on the team or the offseason?

He wants Dan Campbell

Yeah, but your fan card is always kind of wavering in the air already.

What would "turning in your fan card" actually mean?

You get worse around these parts, or you stop posting here?

 

[camaro69]

True, Jerry is a major problem not just coaching everything has to be about Jerry

I don't give a damn about garretts family just as he doesnt mine.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Every hour that Jason is still employed is an hour to be more concerned. Why wasn’t he canned the moment the game ended?
