The Ticket question of the day

[SilverStarCowboy]

While not much of a topic around here..

I too wonder how that is going to effect the running game.

Everybody wants to focus on Murray being gone..

but that combined with a VERY good OL coach also being gone..

leaves thing very changed.

More so than we maybe able to know yet.

I ponder it for sure and assume nothing.

Chemistry has been broken.

Can we recover in time to succeed again.?

Don't know.

The OLine is Veteran, they are proven, are a very savvy group that we shouldn't have to worry about too much....that said, play calling has been pretty suspect under Garretts watch before, maybe Scott Linehan has Offensive Coordinator covered, lets' hope so because OLine and superior personnel doesn't trump heady coaching on any level. Though the players on Cowboys Oline could be the exception. There is real maturity here.

Listen..

Back in '65 at the age of 12 when I first followed the team..

Landry was being sharply criticized for the teams lack of success and he was on the hot seat.

Landry was a good defensive coach but offensively..it stunk.

In '66 he went to his multiple sets and men in motion and the famous Landry Hitch where the OL stood up and went to there set position.

It took awhile for Landry to implement his systems and find the key players to fit..

Bob Hayes, Danny Reeves, Frank Clarke, Don Perkins, Bob Lilly..Cornell Green, Mel Renfro, etc.

But all of a sudden the flex defense was king..

the offense was setting records..

Landry was immotalized.

The Franchise came together.

I see similar things now with Garrett.

I'm pleased.

Championship?

Who knows but at least I can enjoy it all again.

For awhile..before '14,..

not so much.

Thanx Jason.

You done good.

If Jason gets us 18 straight playoff seasons, he will be imortalized as well.

there is no doubt that JG's inexperience cost us. The question is can he get us a championship. If not then the whole gamble was not worth the waste of the last years of the careers of two great Cowboys in Romo and Witten,

that is the nature of rebuilding JJones did it with a coach which is the burr in ya'll pants.
Championships are coming and thats the fun of it

Sure.

My personal opinion is if Stephen continues with what he is doing and Jerrah brings in someone to GM for him..

Garrett could have the makings of a solid foundation for success and have a great run.

Love to see him by a Landry or Don Shula or whomever.

Thank for the reply.

No one said this was a crow eating question...it was just a question they had for the day.
All coaches grow, Tom Landry had to grow.
That was another thing they said...this roster and talent level is so much better now then when he took over. I think even a veteran coach would have had a hard time winning with aging out of shape players, with cap issues as well as all the injuries for 3 years in those 8-8 seasons.
First thing Garrett starting doing was getting rid of those aging overpaid players, even at the cost of some wins. Just as Jimmy gutted the team with he took over [without cap issues for Jimmy]. not comparing any coaches to coaches here. But Garrett has cap issues as the others did not.

Tom Landry was a defensive coordinator for six years before becoming the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, and even that was a different era with less coaches and less competition.

There is no basis to believe that Jason is that coach. He is no Sean Payton and has no experience to suggest that this is what he is capable of. Just shouldn't be a head coach right now. Really shouldn't be a coordinator either. Never displayed the knowledge of the game to do such.

It's really an insult to coaches everywhere for him to be where he is.

A lot of people are saying that they are eating crow on Jason Garrett.

I won't be one of them. I was against Garrett and for good reason. I think he was entirely inexperienced to be offensive coordinator, and was ridiculously inexperienced to be a head coach. The growing pains we had with him as head coach cost a great deal of Tony Romo and Jason Witten's careers. And he certainly played a part in us losing a lot of games, and thus missing the playoffs for multiple years. I also don't think he has the capacity to be a coordinator and a coach. I don't think it is any surprise that with two experienced coordinators, Garrett has his best year ever as a head coach.

Does Garrett need to go? No. Is he a good motivator and understand created a philosophy and team culture? Yes. Is he a great offensive or defensive mind? No.

He's a functional coach, who will hopefully get better with experience and ingredients.

So in short, I'm not eating a single bit of crow on this.

Inexperience isn't the issue in the beginning.
A good soon to be coach will learn and become experienced.

He just doesn't have it.

Is this supposed to be some sort of "I told ya so" bump?

Why are we resurrecting a thread that's like 8 months old?

Exactly. This has been beaten to death and will be talked about until next January.

Sorry, but I've seen several things this year that leads me to believe Garrett just still doesn't get it. Going for FG's in the redzone while down 20 points when all you need is a few yards is just dumb. He may be a good motivator, but that means nothing when you can't coach during the most important times (the games). There were several plays he should have enough challenged, but just stood there with a confused look on his face. I'm tired of "this next season will tell us all we need to know about Garrett." He's had enough opportunity. Injuries quit being an excuse after week 5.
