So you admit he's not good... But wouldn't even want to *try* anyone else? How does that make sense?
I don't know if he is good or not but I don't think he's horrible like some folks think, he has pros and cons, like any coach would. Philosophically, I think he's on the right track and it appears a lot of things have changed for the better since he's come on board but I have no way of knowing if that's him or someone else in the organization because jerri obfuscates everything to the point where its hard to know what the hell is going on over there.
What I don't believe is that jerri will hire anyone any better because of all the caveats that come with working for jerri, so my opinion is that continuity plus Garret is better than changing the entire coaching staff and all the upheaval that comes with it for what would be basically the same type of coach in terms of ability but starting at ground zero in terms of influencing jerri to make positive changes.
If in fact Garret is responsible for the changes I think are positive, then its my hope he can continually push that agenda going forward to the point where jerri slowly gets on board and it results in overall team & organizational improvement in how they do everything and will last because we're not doing the coaching shuffle every 3 years. Being a walk around coach is fine as long as he, they or whoever the hell is in charge hires good coordinators which it appears has happened. I haven't seen any evidence that the players are not listening to him, disrespect him or are in revolt (despite the fact I think he is boring as hell to listen to when he gives speeches to the team,
when he gives speeches to the team,
when he gives speeches to the team).
My position is an indictment of jerri not a proclamation that Garett is the greatest coach on the planet. I think Garett has pros and cons as a coach and might be better as a GM for Dallas (not the best GM available, just one that appears to have influence over jerri and seeks the advice of some great coaches). It feels like thats more of what he is here but again I'm guessing because we don't know the exact behind the scenes machinations.
Bottom line, as long as jerri is walking the earth, the likelihood is that the Cowboys won't be sniffing any more super bowls or many playoffs regardless of how many times they change coaches.
