Why now is the perfect time to move on from Jason Garrett

[strongarmqb]

If I was Jerry Jones,... I would take stock of what has been accomplished during the Jason Garrett era honestly, objectively and without bias.

Have some good things been done? Yes
Has he been provided with what he has asked for in terms of coaches? Yes
Has the organization provided the players to succeed? Yes
Has there been success on the field? Some
Has the team progressed in a reasonable manner and in the time frame as expected for a coach of his tenure? No
Has the team achieved a similar result with other top tier coaches in the league? No
Has he helped the team achieve success on the offensive side of the ball as expected? No
Will more time and resources placed into the team obtain the objective?

This is where an owner must go with his intuition and gut- make the ultimate call, is a Super Bowl is on the horizon under this current head coach?

If I was Jerry Jones- the answer has to be NO it’s time to move on. Why? Because now is the perfect time to move on. The pieces are in place, but a change in philosophy is needed. A different voice in the room is warranted. Otherwise you risk another total rebuild without the attractive pieces in place to attract the top tier coaches.

Jerry must place affinity aside and kick Jason upstairs and go hard after Lincoln Riley now.

As much as I think Garrett is the wrong coach for the Cowboys - or any team - I would argue that he has not been given the players he needs to succeed. The truth is, Jerry mismanaged the Cowboys cap space which resulted in the up and down cycle we've seen. Jerry has assembled a promising team that is missing a few pieces to put them over the hump. There is a short window because in a year or two he will have a number of key players contracts up and he will need to extend them. He has been unwilling to pay market price for players in the past which leads me to believe this team as assembled will not be together for long. Since Jerry won't pay top free agents, once the team starts to lose players they will be backfilled with lesser players and the cycle is repeated. If Jerry does what he has done in the past he will overpay Dak, Zeke and a few other star players locking him out of signing everyone. That has been his MO.

That does not mean I would keep Garrett. But Garrett is going nowhere. For the Cowboys to win a Superbowl Jerry is going to have to draft a team that can win despite Garrett and Linehan. That would take a miracle.

Because he is forgetting what he says now.

It was the perfect time back in 2010.

The perfect time was after the 2016 season. Now we're gonna be stuck in neutral for the next 10 years. Yay.
