this thread deserves it

Only two coaches improved anything here this year.

Gary brown and frank pollack. Both should be commended for an excellent season.

After the rough game in kc, the running game was good all year.

Both coaches helped that.

great news. the gm is mediocre, but at least he isn't stupid enough to fire someone to placate ignorant fans.

also STs coach

Didn't improve though, special teams were very good last year also.

Yeah it's the fans fault for Garrett's failures......SMH and double SMH for calling the GM mediocre.

Nope. The GM should fire someone when they are incompetant.

of course the players love garrett. I mean why chance a hard nose coach come in to this team and whip these boys into shape. Yell and scream at them. Punish them and held them accountable for their mistakes. Its a circus down at Jerry's World. Why not continue to love it and be a mediocre team?

Was it placating when campo was fired? Because its eerily similar.

Veteran team, rebuilding roster, Jerry hired the assistant coaches and kept switching them, salary cap pushed to the max and campo was not qualified.

Campo was fired and he coached three years with no quarterback. The players loved Dave campo, especially the defense.

It's no different except Garrett has squandered romo's career.

Without romo Garrett would have a similar record to campo.

I don't remember a single person saying campo needed more time, more control or required patience from the fans.

No, parcells cleaned out everyone and the results were night and day. The franchise was better for it and the fans had hope that we had a chance because we were at least trying it the right way.

Nothing different between campo and Garrett except campo was the coordinator of a Super Bowl champion and Garrett has done nothing anywhere.

Yep because the players are still getting their paychecks!

No sense crying over spilled milk in the process.

I think it would be hard for Witten to say anything else, especially after the emotional roller coaster of last night's game. And I think it's in the nature of players to want continuity of leadership. It just makes their lives easier. And they, like anyone else, have no idea if a new coach will be an improvement or a disaster.

I'll take the 3-13 season if it is required to REALLY grow this team.

 

[Cowboy4ever]

I am torn over this honestly. I like Garrett, I don't think he is the worst coach in the history of sports as some have said but I think it is time for some new blood also. I want to run the ball more and give the O line a chance to take over the game. I don't think that is in Garretts DNA so I was ready to move on. I think Garrett gets a lot of blame for mis managing games when the real problem is a player not executing his assignment correctly, i.e. a hold on 3rd down that stops the clock. But it is what it is, 3 8-8 seasons in a row, losing 3 division championship games to end the year each of the last 3 years, I would have personally made a change. But I can see Jerry's thinking on this and I am ok with decision to bring him back.

And ya'll who are mad didnt see this coming?

 

[MikeT22]

He also isn't smart enough to hire a HC that knows how to win. More 8-8. Yep, great news.

 

[Proximo]

I'm fine with Garrett as HC in 2014, as long as it's understood that it'll be a do or die year for him. And I hope he succeeds.

How does a Head Coach have NO ACCOUNTABILITY but will ask his players to be ACCOUNTABLE..

Easy. He has been trained by jerry

Jerry loves you Mr Lemming. He is happy you can't think for yourself....

 

[FiveRings]

So it's been Witten calling the shots all along, eh?

 

[Tawney88]

How does a Head Coach have NO ACCOUNTABILITY but will ask his players to be ACCOUNTABLE. Jerry and Stephen need to have their heads examined. Why does no Media figure question Jerry & Stephen about the fact that OP is still HC.

The Cowboys Fans throughout the WORLD deserve better. Another Dark Day in our Franchise History.

Jerry and Stephen are the problem. Garrett is just a symptom of the disease. Firing Garrett does nothing but appease the masses, real change will only come when Jerry is out of the football business.
