Thoughts on Jason Garrett

[TheCritic]

I know that many Cowboys fans were ready to move on from him when it happened in 2020. Where do you think he went wrong? I mean other than the obvious, not getting it done in the playoffs. Why do you think he ultimately failed as an NFL coach?

 

[MarkP88]

He got the job way before he was ready for it, and he had to deal with the ludicrous circumstances unique to this team.

I have just 2 words for Garrett....

he sucks.

Where did he go wrong? He wasn't a good coach. He never was.

He didn't go through the Darwinian process of working his way up through the ranks, proving himself, and earning his promotions like most coaches. Jerry was seduced by the glory days connection, the Troy and Moose endorsements, Daddy Garrett being a Jerry loyalist, the Ivy League degree, and the rest of the garbage that had nothing to do with being a good coach.

Still can't believe we wasted 13 years on him as OC and HC, but then Jerry is that big a selfish, nepotistic football moron.

The topic of this thread is WHY? Anything to share on that?

I think was fine, but he just wasn't a great HC. While he was here it was pretty common to hear that he was a better Monday through Saturday coach than a Sunday coach. There is a place for those guys in the NFL, but it's typically as an assistant and not running the whole program.

 

[gtb1943]

He simply did not have the ability to put it together like a TOP HC does.
That has been proven by the fact that no one has has ANY interest in even giving him a shot at OC
He was able to get his team to play hard; but not intelligently
he seemed unable to assemble a good staff
he showed no talent as a game manager

Phony. Weird dude. I know for a fact he did some shady stuff behind the scenes while he was the HC. I'll leave it at that.

Some folks make great coaches and coordinators but that final step is a different animal.
Jason, Norv, Campo
The list is endless.

How you gonna just leave us on that cliff hanger?

Garrett was solid I thought he was beginning to change the culture. It would have been interesting if the Joneses spent some money on free agents in 2014, 2016, and 2017. The Cowboys had talent issues during his tenure but he was the reason we built that great offensive line.

Side note Garrett was the hot assistant coach back in 2008. He could have had the Ravens and Rams jobs.

That about says it all. The guy only said about eight different sentences.

I’d swear there was a string sticking out of his back.

He sure knew how to work Jerry over though. Took over a team that actually won a playoff game ten months earlier, then spent the better part of the next decade saying “it’s a process.”

As if THAT team needed to be torn down but the current one doesn’t. The whole thing is a mess and the only fix is a type A head coach coming in and running the whole thing.

History shows that’s much more effective than Jerry’s puppets, but it’s his toy. We just get to suffer through it.

How you gonna just leave us on that cliff hanger?

My staff and I met with Wade and his staff, going into his last year..Garrett sat next to me. I've posted this here before, but in a nutshell, he told me some things he would never do woth his QB, as soon. As he became HC...he started doing those very things...like calling plays at the LOS.
Was it on purpose? I have no proof to say it was...wouldn't make a difference anyway.
That was also the day that Wade invited me to downtown San Angelo for a few beers. It was, us two, Mack Brown, Nick Saban and Tommy Tubberville talking ball for a couple of hours. It was one of the privileges of my career. Great afternoon.

Garrett was empowered by our beloved fuhrer with full authority over one thing: game time clock management and he sucked at that.

Thoughts on Jason Garrett


He has red hair.
He likes clapping. A LOT.


Seriously, he wasn't as bad as most think. His biggest failing was the inability to make adjustment IN-GAME. If his game plan worked, the Cowboys dominated. If his game plan sort of worked, it was a close game. If his game plan did not work at all, we lost big. And he displayed zero ability over TEN YEARS to make changes on-the-fly based on how the game was going.
