Which Head Coach that is available is better than Garrett right now?

[CowboyRoy]

If Garrett was only responsible for his Game Day coaching results he would have been fired as well. But it’s his influence and vision which has steered this franchise in a better direction.

And what vision is that?

Better direction? You mean one playoff win? You mean the total meltdown of the team last year?

Without Dak and Romo leading this team the last few years and into the next few years, this team would be anywhere from 4-12 to an 8-8 squad. Maybe worse with Garrett coaching.

If the philosophical changes began as soon as Garrett arrive then why did they bring in Mclay in 2014 to correct the dysfunction with the draft? LOL

Sorry your theory gets stonewalled again.

Are you claiming now that Garrett and other head coaches all have the same power within an organization?

How can anyone take what you say seriously when you think Garrett is the GM here?

They didn't 'bring McClay in in 2014 to correct the dysfunction with the draft.' He was already here. They promoted him in 2013. Because they had an issue in their scouting department they thought they could improve by promoting McClay.

Which has absolutely *nothing* to do with the philosophical changes that began as soon as Garrett took over.

You're flailing again.

Wasn’t Will already a scout working with Jason’s brother?

Will had been scout previously yes. Ironically, Will has more coaching experience and head coaching experience than Garrett did when he became OC or HC.

You know what............................McClay might just be the perfect guy to replace Garrett.

I really would appreciate it if you did not agree with me.

Now I am beginning to doubt my own convictions.

No you're not?

I am still quite impressed how Richard is viewed as some savior.

It is not like he was the architect of the Legion of Boom. He had a hand in development, perhaps. That is what I have always understood about him. He was a fine positional coach for that set of players.

But he was not exactly sterling as a DC in Seattle.

His track record over the few years is better than marinelli's. You might not agree.

I guess it just hurts to admit the dysfunction of having a part-time GM.

Logically, most people view decision making processes in a straight-line, chain of command type way.

We have not had that since Johnson walked out of the building.

Instead we have a shell game. Who is in charge? Lacewell? No way, ignore the man behind the curtain, let's blame Ciskowski.

In this illusion, there is no one decision maker with direct authority who can make the tough calls.

If you have a functional brain, you know that Jerry Jones makes all the decisions at the end of the day. And it is set up for him to have judgmental powers.

The paper will cross his desk. Period.

It is really a great set up in a way. It keeps much of the fan base guessing.

For sure. He's not a very good gameday coach. He was below average when he started, which was probably to be expected given his experience level. He's improved, and it's helped to have Linehan and Marinelli along. But we're still a fairly mediocre gameday team.

Gamedays aren't the most important part of coaching, though.

I agree but it’s why Garrett recieves so much criticism. It's something everyone can visibly see. There’s no escaping it .

The other assets he brings are not as directly visible for all to see. They assume because of his Game Day coaching flaws that he doesn’t have more positive influence and impact in other aspects of the organization.

I truly understand their frustration . We all are frustrated and want more success. But not recognizing our situation and the choices we have can often arrive at hasty decisions despite however normal reactions they are.

We must look past our visual evidence and look to when these changes truly begun and what entity has had the most influence overall even without more success. And I always arrive back with Garrett.

LOL.......ok so what were these philosophical changes that happened when Garrett got here? Ill wait. LOL

And wasnt Garrett OC before he was promoted to head coach?

Flail much? Do you still claim that Garrett is the GM here?

McClay is head of "player personnel".

What does that title suggest that he is the head of here?

 

[Idgit]

Will had been scout previously yes...

He was actually the director of football research from 2011 when Garrett took over to 2013. Prior to that, he was the pro scouting coordinator. He hadn't been a scout since 2008.

His track record over the few years is better than marinelli's. You might not agree.

What track record?

He was a defensive coordinator for three seasons and the Seahawks slipped significantly from where they were under Quinn and Gus Bradley.

Even your friend Dieharblues, that supports Garrett acknowledges that Garrett is a horrid game day coach. You are on a goat trail, way up high, all alone..............

Yep. They see the gameday stuff. They see the clapping, and they see the robot press conferences and draw their conclusions based on that. Which is foolish, if you think about it. There's so much evidence re: what's really going on. It ought to be obvious to anybody who cares enough about the team to read here in the long offseasons.

Is there anybody in your house who can maybe read the threads to you out loud, Roy? Maybe that would help.

Read the posts above this one. It ought to be obvious to you.

This is the whole point. Garrett should NOT Be a head coach. THE MOST important part of the HC part he stinks at. Give the guy some other title and get him AWAY from game day duties. We need a REAL head coach. Garrett is NOT a real head coach. Being an owner is all about putting people in the right positions to succeed. Jones does that horribly with Garrett. But he has slowly taken things away from Garrett.

 

[Diehardblues]

"Snub" is a very subjective definition. Who's been working with jerry for years as vp, coo, director of player personnel? Stephen, that's who. Why would you think Jerry would suddenly change that. The hierarchical structure of the team isn't mutually exclusive to its ownership.

Jerry Jr and Char are executive VP and I’d argue have had more productive roles not directly under their Dads thumb.

There’s no reason to believe Stephen wants to run football operations in the same manner his father has.

If they are so obvious then please list them. All these philosophical changes. Ill be waiting. Your silence will continue to mean you got nothing.

Yep, which also nixes any silly theory that it was Garrett that brought in McClay.

My family cant read.

How long have you been a Cowboy fan?

You still aren’t grasping the argument. We aren’t getting what we want with Jerry.
