Why Jason Garrett? Top 10 reasons.

[khiladi]

Yeah, we should fire Wade for holding San Diego to it's lowest point total in the season and hire Garrett, who couldn't score against a banged up San Diego defense... Was it just me or was I the only saw how an Offensive guru, aka Norv Turner is suppose to attack a defense... the difference between Norv and Garrett is like the East and West... any claim the two are alike needs to be thrown out the window for good...

so true, yet not one valid reason to keep him or justify his position on dallas.

lets hope jerry has a moment of self-doubt (& fan revolt) & brings in a real coach and OC with him.

1) 3, 13 and 3: The offensive ranking of the Cowboys with Garrett as OC

2) Familiarity: Former Cowboys player in the Jerry Jones era, brother is TE coach, father was Cowboys scout in the Jerry Jones era.

3) Sean Payton: A performance Jerry does not want to repeat

4) Money: 2 ways, Jerry's wallet is a little thin right now and Jason is already getting paid like a HC.

5) Control: Jerry needs to have his hands in the batter. Garrett allows him to play in the kitchen.

6) Change: Garrett is not going to want to change players, bring in his own guys, revamp the whole staff and change offensive and defensive philosophies.

7) Support: The few people that have Jerry's ear all support Garrett.

8) Age Is All The Rage: It's a popular trend in the NFL. It seems to be working. Young coaches are all the rage.

9) Romo: Franchise QB has a great relationship with Garrett. Even Jones does not want to mess with that.

10) I Told You So: Jerry does not give up on pet projects easily. He has been preaching to the world the brilliance of Garrett and has backed it up with financial investment. He's not going to give up now that he has his chance to put his beliefs on the front line.

The difference between Garrett and just about every other successful OC/HC is experience, he barely has any. Even Raheem Morris, Tampa's head coach that came out of nowhere, has more coaching experience than Garrett.

LOL. I stopped at #1. Third ranked offense?

We're #13 in scoring. And that's gone steadily downhill since the beginning of the year.

The last coaching change is a good example. Jerry Jones began a head coaching search in January and landed Wade Phillips in February.

One thing which has been discounted at times is that before Jones hired Phillips, he had already signed Jason Garrett on as offensive coordinator. Jones enjoys handpicking his coaching staff. I said it back then and I will say it now that I totally disagree with that approach.

Whether they succeed or fail, my philosophy has always been that a head coach should establish their own staffs which they are most comfortable with. I believe that policy creates a coaching environment where everyone involved is more of the same mindset and a single objective. Should Garrett ascend to the head coaching position, I hope that Jones will take the atypical approach and allow him the opportunity for hand-picking his own people.

And therein lies the problem. Garrett is very young and does not have the "skins on the wall" to have Jerry's respect. Jones will not let Garrett hire his own staff; as a matter of fact, they will probably keep the same coaches that are here now, and Garrett will call the plays on offense. The same guys with the same culture and mindset, and you will see the same situation for the next 2-3 years Garrett is HC.

Jerry needs a guy with experience and a couple of super bowl rings on his fingers. That way he has Jerry's trust, and he's allowed more liberties than the "young new coach." Parcells was allowed to bring in his own staff, bring in "his" kind of players, even had some control over the draft. But Parcells also had Jerry's utmost respect. Jerry will not respect Garrett.

A splashy coach with skins on the wall is the only way the culture will change and Jerry will feel as though he has control. Otherwise, Garrett becoming HC will just be more of the same old thing.

The trend continues... Every observation I've made about Garrett has been right, the biggest being:1. Start fast, finish slow as soon as he get's figured out2. Absolutely no play-action, thus his inabaility to keep defenses off-balance. Ratios of run and pass mean nothing, unless it is done to keep defenses honestThe reality is Norv and Wade had a nice chess match going and Newman screwed it up, and Sensabaugh's PI ruined field position, despite him being position to defend the pass

I think the familiarity between Garrett and the Jones family is key.It actually may be the best thing for this franchise.That familiarity may allow Garrett to do things that any other candidate could only dream of.I do believe that Jerry would listen to what Garrett has to say and let him do it.Provided Garrett can sell Jerry on the idea,I think Garrett is articulate enough to do just that.

If not Garrett don't bring in another retread.Parcells brought some credibility with him but he was a washed up retread,Wade is the biggest retread of all.

I've been a big Garrett supporter, and I do believe he's gonna be a good HC eventually.

But I dont believe he's a lock to be HC here. Especially if we lose out and/or miss the playoffs.

I have no doubt he is going to be inserted now.

All ten of these reasons speak to it.

I am sure in his mind, Jones can rationalize why. I don't think he will place blame on the offense as long as it remains statistically viable. He will feel he has to do "something" and since he is very good at denial, he can delude himself into believing Garrett has what it takes to be a successful head coach.

That's a damn good post. Practically everyone has opinions about what type of changes should take place, but seldom do people take the time for assuming what Jerry Jones would probably do based on his past history.

I have looked at all the mentioned and suggested coaches and failed to see the connection that is there with Garrett. A situation I also believe Jerry is going to run into when he starts the search.

The familiarity and level of comfort is just not there with the other possibilities when you sit down and start trying to list reasons why this person or that person should be the next HC of Dallas. If your going to simply look at overall records of the coaches suggested you will find the short list just got shorter. Some are really not overally impressive but are more of name then anything else.

Ironically I believe Jones would give Garrett more flexability to name his staff then he gave Wade.

Jerrry Jones was familiar with Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer and he blew those up. I don't see Garrett as being any different. As a matter of fact, the relationship may make things worse.

He was also very familiar with Dave Campo.

We all remember how that turned out.

Garrett would be simply a continuation of what is wrong.

They also had success during those years as well.

I don't think Campo was anything special as a head coach.I also think that Jerry didn't see any sense bringing in a big time coach at the time.They were eating alot of dead cap space during that time.How competitive can you be with 30% of your cap space is dead money? They needed those 3 years to get out of salary cap hell before going in another direction.

campo
gailey
wade
