Thoughts on Jason Garrett

[gtb1943]

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.

He does TV gets paid $$$$ and doesn’t spend 18 hours at the Star.

The #JasonHate on here is insane.

No it’s not! He was bad and we wasted 10 yrs with him. Not only that but no one wanted him. Idgit, is this you?

 

[quickccc]

LOL ... Is this thread talkin' about his coaching ... or his TV contract salary. ?

 

[plasticman]

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

 

[Ironicalicon]

What, like the back of a Volkswagen?

Hoooo-ly! Dude, I just watched Mallrats again like an hour ago!!

I think JG would resonate with a college program.

The good old boy Network University. No need to study. Just go by who you know.

I’ve missed these Jason threads. 8)

Good luck getting any rational thoughts on this, he's the sheeple's choice whipping boy.

I guess CZ haterz are the reason he sucked at the Giants and never got another football job.

 

[TexasBoys2288]

His process sucked.

 

[VaqueroTD]

How you gonna just leave us on that cliff hanger?

At least we know which account Dez is posting under now.

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.

 

[zrinkill]

How we doing, guys?

I read that in his voice

 

[Xizor]

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.

 

[jrumann59]

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.

In todays NFL slog is not the only path. The days a HC has to spend 10-15 years in various stepping stone positions is going away. Th move is towards younger coaches not necessarily with tons of coaching experience.

 

[Nova]

He's not a very good coach, but I get the feeling he'd make a decent FO guy.

 

[SultanOfSix]

He’s a PR coach like Dak is a PR QB.

JG is an ABC coach. Doesn't have the NFL acumen to outthink other coaches, which means he's not going to adjust well.
