What exactly does Garrett do?

[lukin2006]

He claps.

I was just going to type that...lol

 

[lukin2006]

Jerry should just fire all the coaches and he can handle all the duties...

 

[ghst187]

He fails....
To get the team up for the big game
To manage the clock and game
To find and exploit mismatches
To scheme to our player strengths...

This reminds me of employees who think the CEO doesn't "do" anything. Head coach oversees the entire staff and roster.

Exactly..he probably has a ton of stuff to manage that Joe Fan and the keyboard warriors don't even realize

offense
scheme design - moore given job to modernize offense to make it less predictable. jerry publicly said that moore needs to go to him if garrett tries to interfere with that
play calling - moore

defense
scheme - richard/marinelli
play calling - richard?

other areas
drafting - some input
clock management - often with disastrous results
press conferences - garrett
serving jones' upon demand - garrett

What did Jimmy do? What does Belichick do? I’m not saying Garrett is at their level - clearly he is miles from that - but lots of head coaches, including some highly successful ones - rely heavily on their coordinators and assistants. A head coach is much like a CEO - he indicates what he wants to see, but the underlines put the systems in place to make it happen.

Nononono. I got this.

Jason lets Jerry be in charge. That is the bottom line that really matters here.

NFL's all-time leader in clapping. He's the Jerry Rice of clapping, his records won't ever be touched.

Granted, in Dallas the HC is neutered but that's a Jerry thing. JG's eventual replacement will do the same if he wants to keep his job.

Yup. I'm a small business owner, and most of the people who do work for me resent me and think I sit around and collect checks all day every day.

Linehan was JG's choice!!!

He processes the process in order for the process to process

I'm ready for a change from Garrett; however, Garrett is good at the things that made Wade Phillips a terrible Head Coach.

The players have always given great effort under Garrett. They quit on Wade.

Garrett eliminated the overwhelming sense of entitlement among the players that was prevalent under Wade.

Wade was a disaster in many press conferences. Garrett is boring but does not look like a deer in the headlights when difficult questions arrise.

The players generally treat Garrett like the Head Coach and many start to sound like him. Wade constantly referenced Jerry anytime he was questioned by the media and players referred to Jerry more than to the Head Coach when questioned about the team's direction, etc..

Dave Campo was similar to Wade; although he referred to Jerry as Mr. Jones instead of Jerry.

Chan Gailey's claim to fame as the Cowboys HC was convincing Jerry NOT to draft Randy Moss.

All he does is clap LOLOL IM SO ORIGINAL
AND CLEVER

 

[Bobhaze]

If I was Garrett, I would have resigned a long time ago. Of course IMO, Jerry should have fired him a while back too.

But I can’t imagine why any self respecting HC, who has been completely stripped of just about every responsibility except for use of his junior “Batman utility belt”, would stick around under these conditions. I just wish JJ would go ahead and fire him and move on. Garrett probably won’t quit because he will lose what money he’s owed.

Currently, this is one strange, dysfunctional marriage.

That’s easy for us to say, but we aren’t facing a choice that would result in forfeiting an income of $5-6 million a year. And who knows, Garrett may actually think he can do good things even in a situation that is not what he may have hoped for.

He does whatever Stephen and Jerry tell him to do..

 

[Fire407]

He holds up one finger after every touchdown so everyone sees it on TV. Most other coaches only announce when they're going for two--because its the exception. And then Garrett held up one finger in the Rams game and somebody pointed out that he should go for two so he held up the game and got the play clock restarted three times. He's allowed to clap, call timeouts, and hold up one finger after a TD, and he even does those things at the wrong time.

He arranges field trips for the team after games. You cannot underestimate the importance of this.
