Thoughts on Jason Garrett

He was NFL coach of the year.

Won a lot of football games.

How bad could he be?
Lost every playoff game as a favorite.
I could go on but you really do not seem to want to admit he was not all that.

Tell me: who is he coaching now?

No one wanted him even as a OC or bluntly speaking water boy after the Giants.

So no matter how much you do not want to admit it, he was not a good HC.
 
As it is and as it will be with every Cowboys head coach, he was doomed from the start.

No HC can fully implement their strategy. They can't hire their own assistant coaches, they have limited authority and even their gameplans are probably tampered with.

I always thought Jason would be better off in the scouting department like his father and brother.
 
Jeez, I've been trying to forget about him ever since he was let go, I hope the clapping nightmares dont start up again :confused:
 
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.
Yeah, folks forget that. Didn’t he turn down a HC position to stay on as OC? Oops. Sorry dude, no one ever wins the prize while Jethro steers the ship.

I would have liked Garrett more if he brought in more of Jimmy and Troy’s toughness. I did like his intense focus on offensive line and running the rock, but what worked decades ago doesn’t mean it will work again. And oh yeah, there is a defensive side of the ball.
 
He got the job way before he was ready for it, and he had to deal with the ludicrous circumstances unique to this team.
While I didn't like the hire originally this is why I am starting to come around on Shotty. His resume isn't that bad and the fact he turned down some head coaching opportunities because "he" knew he wasn't ready speaks volumes. He also hired some good people with zero yes guys which I think Garrett tend to like yes guys. Shotty also been saying the right things without sounding robotic in his approach.
 
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?
He has no coaching talent. None. He is a fake. Looks the part. Talks the part. Ultimately he proves himself to be a fraud. He is basically out of coaching at a prime age. I don’t think he would get a sniff as an OC. The league knows he isn’t a coach.

He is one of the most fake people I have ever seen. Hard to connect to players when all you can offer is a permanent creepy smile, hollow platitudes, and pats on the buttocks. No player is playing hard for that. Sooooo glad when he got axed.
