There may be two minutes left in the game, but the Cowboys' season is over, so I've got a few things you need to get through your chrome...

Jason Garrett is not going to lead this team to a Super Bowl. You need fire from your head coach in Dallas, passion, give a damn. Garrett shows me none of this. Plus, he's not nearly the x's and o's guy we all thought he was. Good, yeah, ok. But not great by any stretch. If he was, our passing routes would be more conductive to getting receivers open, and Romo wouldn't have to run for his life even when the line is actually blocking. I wanted Garrett in here just as bad as you did, but I'm admitting I was wrong, so should you. Cut your losses.

The offensive line needs more retooling, perhaps scheme wise as well as personel. Remember the lines of the '90s? These guys are nothing close.

I can't believe I have to tell you this one, but the defensive secondary is complete crap. Sensebaugh is worthless, Ball, Elam, not starting material. And Terance Newman. Oh, Newman. I'm sorry, but he's gotta go. Way past his prime, which wasn't even worth where we drafted him in the first place. This defense will never go anywhere as long as you continue to let the secondary wallow in decay.

Jerry, I am part of perhaps the most faithful group in all of professional sports, Cowboys Nation. We are adament in our support, but our patience is not infinate. Get with it Jerry, you're not the only one who wants a Super Bowl again in your lifetime. I'm sure you're "disappointed" in this season, but we're #^$$^@ &(&^&%#, and we aren't going to !)^#@% with this forever.

Thank you for your time.

Jason is garbage. Should be fired, but won't be. Jerry loves him. He doesn't care what's happening to the football team.

This has been going on forever.

Don't expect any change until the owner owns up to his own mistakes.

No good owner or GM fires a coach after one season. Hell he didnt even have a real offseason to work with this team.

If there's no progress after next yr, maybe then you think about it.

Work with the team as an HC or as an OC? Because if it's the latter, then he's had what...? 4 years.

Something hasn't been right with the WRs since Ray Sherman left. Sherman was villified, for being niothing more than a sounding board for the WRs. The WRs would vent to Sherman, what... would you rather have them do it in the media?

Normally I agree with that, but he has been here five years and we see the same game over and over.

Spags is getting fired in st Louis and so is the gm Billy devaney.

They recognize in the short term they have not been good enough and are trying to do something about it.

It's what needs to be done here.

New voice, new people in all areas.

Scouting, personnel, coaching and players.

We could have a real spark from something like that, plus all the guys we will drop on defense which is going to make us aggressive in free agency....

Now is the time.

Go get a veteran who has some idea of how to fix this.

Normally I'd agree if a coach was responsible for putting everything and everyone into place, but we all know Jerry's been building to the Jason Garrett "era" for some time. And although there are some parts that aren't necessarily Garrett's fault, he's not going to be able to fix them, either. He's simply not good enough.

Spagnoulo has been the HC in St Louis 3yrs, and they won 10 games. He's got virtually everything he wanted and they rarely field a competitive team. He deserves to be fired.

Its stupid to run a coach after one season (which means maybe its something Jerry really would consider) but no good HC would ever consider working for an owner who runs the previous HC without even giving him one real offseason. You want to resort to having guys like Campo or Gailey here forever? Because thats all you will ever get if Jerry doesnt give people time.

OK, so say they fire him after not even giving him one full offseason to actually do all the HC things needed with a team during the offseason. What coach who would be "good enough" to fix things is going to take the job, knowing Jones just canned a guy without even giving him a fair shot.

I think anyone who uses logic in their thinking has to agree with these comments.

Garrett and company may very well suck, but you have to be fair and give them time to turn things around. I believe He and Ryan need a full offseason.

Neither did any other team/coach in the league.

I don't believe that.

I think league wide Jerry bringing in a new coach who could have the input that parcells had, hire his own staff, change the person ell department and find players who can help.....would be viewed as a good thing.

Continuity is not ok when the people you are rolling with are the cause of the problem and simply do not have the answers.

5-11 is right around the corner with this group.

But not every team changed coaches though did they?

You'd have a point if Jason hadn't been here with this team for the last 5 years.

He's been the co-head coach from day one.

Jerry hired his ass before he hired Wade.

I think the team had a handle on wearing suits to the game and after the game last year. They didn't need a training camp for that.

And for whats it worth, the forty niners did just that.

Realized Nolan was not a good head coach, fired him put singletary in charge because he had seemingly the best qualities.

Then they realized when they got the same kind of play under mike singletary that we got with Garrett that they did not have it right.

Singletary was fired and they put harbaugh in charge and he changed everything immediately.

Turned a short offseason into a great one and they are off and running.

So to me it certainly Can be done and has been done.

Somebody with a name to them, someone who can come in with enough clout (not to mention a hefty salary) to shake things up. We've been waiting for Jerry to go after someone like that ever since Parcells left.

Someone, preferably Stephen, needs to sit Jerry down and say "All right, look. This is not working the way we're doing things right now. We should bring in someone who has a different viewpoint, and actually let them take a stab at it their way."

Besides, smart Princeton guy like Garrett is, I refuse to believe that he didn't have multiple notebooks of preperation should the day he get his shot come to pass, if he's everything we're led to believe he came into this more prepared than most would have, lockout or no.

That they did. Hire the right people for the job, not the right people for you.

Jones won't fire Garrett but let's say he did. I think Gruden could come in and win with this offense. The defense needs an overhaul no matter who the Head Coach is.

A lot of their current players went through their growing pains with those coaches. Harbaugh took over a pretty good defense. That said, what if the Niners flop next year...fire him and find another?
