Why can't Jerry just be Garrett's BFF outside of work? That goes for all the loser coaches he's brought in. Invite them all to your stupid suite for every game if it makes you feel better, just keep them away from the sidelines.

 

[Staubacher]

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?

Of course it matters. New coach search needs to start right away as well as planning for next season.
There is no legitimate reason to drag it out. No other team does this.

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?

Pretty sure he just gets louder and more annoying, demanding a "woke fan who keeps it honest" card instead.

The fact this isn't official is laughable. The Jones family is a joke and the franchise is the butt of it.

 

[pacy]

Could Garrett end up as General Manager?

Imagine Garrett being responsible for hiring the next head coach.

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 should be a lesson to NEVER hire anyone he has close family ties to ever again. It makes Jerry irrational (or should I say more irrational?) when making evaluations at the end of each season. It is also why you see Jerry make statements like the one in my signature and the one about "training Garrett" from 5-6 years ago. Jerry is looking at Garrett like we look at one of our own kids who just had a very bad game or is bad in a sport in general. We all tend to have rose colored glasses when looking at our own children when they fail and always find a bright side. From now on Jerry needs to only hire people for which he can make rational evaluations. Had that been the case with Garrett he would have been canned after the third 8-8 season.

I can't seem to recall any recent head coaches who were told they wouldn't be re-signed. Seems like most of them have a forced termination or a forced resignation before that can happen. Am I forgetting some obvious names?

 

[Noclaf]

He is coming back isnt he lol its like a damn nightmare

 

[Zman5]

Jason Garrett: Director of Operational Excellence in the Field of Football

Director Of On going Football Under Studies. He'll be the new DOOFUS for the Dallas Cowboys.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Garrett could go 0-16 for 5 seasons in a row and Jerry would still have doubts about wanting to fire him.

 

[Corso]

Pretty sure he just gets louder and more annoying, demanding a "woke fan who keeps it honest" card instead.

I'll get him to fold in one hand, if that's the case. He's butter.
I already got him calling himself the site's Drama Queen.

Pretty easy, actually.

 

[Rockport]

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

I want Bill Belichick.

Jasson to his coaching staff...”Let’s all quit and get a good job.”

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Been gone for an hour. Was hoping to see a Garrett is gone thread when I got back.

 

[camaro69]

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

Not trying to start a fight. Not saying you should care, Just saying that Jerry does, Jerry has made this personal. This isn't a boss and employee relationship. Jason should have been fire along time ago we all know this

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

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

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

Honestly, yeah. I bet that excites you. I’ll be lingering around the league I guess.
