I don't need to give him any respect. Glad he's gone and good riddance.
Yes, Jason Garrett needed to be fired, and the Cowboys needed to move on to another coach. Now that they've settled on Mike McCarthy, it is time to quit dunking on Jason Garrett. Whatever else you may say about Garrett, he gave the Cowboys 20 years of dedicated service, and although he came up short, no one can honestly say he didn't give it his best effort.
The vast majority of "fans" gloating over his firing couldn't come close to being as professional as Garrett, and couldn't coach the team better than Garrett did. It is sad that he didn't become what Jerry Jones hoped he would be.
Sometime in the future, Garrett may get another chance elsewhere. At that point, we'll find out if Garrett was really the issue and is truly just a mediocre coach, or if Garrett was too hamstrung by Jerry Jones to have a true opportunity to be successful. Whatever the case, it clearly wasn't working for Dallas. Quite frankly, I don't know if it was Garrett, or if the Cowboys coaching environment is so toxic that no one can be successful. I do know (along with everyone else who is gloating) that Garret and Jones weren't getting it done together in Dallas, and that Jones isn't leaving. So Garrett had to go.
But I think the man deserves more respect than many are giving him. He has been a dedicated Cowboy for a long time, and his family has been associated with the Cowboys for even longer. Surely, that service deserves more respect than what some fans are dishing out.
He didn't respect Wade Philips, he didn't respect Tony Romo, he didn't respect all the assistants and players he threw under the bus, he didn't respect Kellen Moore most recently, etc.Yes, Jason Garrett needed to be fired, and the Cowboys needed to move on to another coach.

I've been dunking on Garrett for 10 years now... and neither you, nor James Harden can stop me...
The Garrettphiles touted him for a decade, told us how he was the Next Landry, how his intelligence and culture would fix everything, etc... and now less than 20 hours after his firing is official, they want us to leave poor Jason alone.
No. Not happening.
Is that pro or anti Harden? Just curious if you are Rockets fan? I am a huge one. The Rockets and Astros are the only sports teams I have watched in the last two years after I went on a Garrett boycott in late 2017. I am looking forward to getting back into watching the Cowboys finally having HOPE for the future of the team.
Not to mention the prime years of careers for some very good talent.Screw Garrett. Dude wasted 10 years of all of our lives
People dislike(d) Garrett, the coach; they didn’t dislike Garrett, the person. Huge distinction.
It’s not immoral or unacceptable to rag on his lack of success and just because he’s been fired shouldn’t prevent the truth from being told
Not to mention the prime years of careers for some very good talent.
Even during bad Cowboys times yes they were good Joe. How are things with you? Do you want to talk about it? My DM's are open palYou mean besides the "10 years that was wasted"?
