Jason Garrett PC on right now

[Jon88]

That is exactly what he needs to do right now.

I want Garrett gone, but I dont think this is true at all.

Damn close. How many times last year did the offense score more than 10 points in the first half? TWO TIMES.

 

[VTA]

Wrong. They have all been scapegoated on Jerry's behalf.

Garrett needs to go no doubt but the true problem remains.

I'm with you on this overall sentiment. I have no idea what kind of coach Garrett is because he's working for Jones, with all of his dysfunctional procedures.

I wouldn't get excited over a coaching change no matter who is brought in, because the one constant will remain. GM Jerry.

And if Jerry does give up control to a coach he respects, say Holmgren. How long will that last before Holmgren moves on and Jerry's like, 'I got this'?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Can't anything be done to oust Jerry, Men's Wearhouse style?

BTW, how did he look like shit? He had that same shit eating grin like he always does, even after blowout losses.

Screen cap from today... This is just opening up the PC, not in response to a joke or anything.

 

[Jon88]

We need to oust all 3 of the stooges - not just Jerry.

That doesn't look like the same PC I saw. Let me find it for you. Hang on!

He started it with a shit-eating grin and also ended it with one, but look at the middle of it and you'll see.

Garrett does need to go back to the drawing board with his offensive scheme but I think he has some of the tools to be a decent HC.

:nsis

and then try to be a mid level D1 head coach somewhere like Mississippi State, California, Colorado, Kansas, VIRGINIA, etc.

What tools are those?

I was going to ask the same thing.

What tools are those?
Personally, I like a head coach who can always keep his emotions in check, David Shaw for example does this well. Players are going 100 miles an hour and emotionally are all over the place. The cool, calming presence of the head coach goes a long way on a football team. I think the optimism is good as well it just has to actually mean something. In Dallas, I can't tell if Garrett is just full of it or just hamstrung by Jerry. He definitely talks a good game.

None of what you listed makes a good head coach or a good football coach or anything producing competitive football anything. What you listed is the call screener for a human resource department. I think the opposite of what you said it true. I think he cannot lead, cannot motivate, cannot teach, cannot construct, design, or innovate; he has one mode of operating anything and he desperately clings to that one mode.

An effective head coach, if nothing else, manufactures change. Jason is consistenty the same and knows/does nothing more.

I think sadly that he has been in a position that he is not capable of doing, staring with OC in 2007.

He is a glorified QB coach who is in over his head with how to get the most out of his players and his team with the talent and time he has. Think about it: his whole game and clock management method boils down to Romo's discretion. That's really the functionality of a QB coach, not a head coach.

His fucking atrocious playcalling and lousy clock management has nothing to do with Jerry's dysfunctional procedures. Say what you want, but Jones early in Garrett's career here, gave Garrett the keys to the kingdom.

I would have unlimited respect if Garrett bounced on his own terms. Saying something like "Can't win under these circumstances." The Zone would break the internet.

That might be more satisfying than another super bowl win

Clock management I can understand from am inexperienced coach - which is why he shouldn't have been handed this position in the first place, but his play calling I get your point. I still don't think I have an accurate read of what he could probably do without bozo handing an untrained driver the keys to a Formula 1 and watching him make a mess on the track. I'm not defending him so much as criticizing Jones. No matter who comes in to coach, he's still going to be handicapped by this GM.

Fair point on Jones.....any coach is handicapped in Dallas. No doubt he is the root of the problem, but Garrett was unprepared to be a head coach. He got the gig way too early (which is obviously a Jerry issue) and needs seasoning.

I think Phillips actually recognized it early and tried to bring in Dan Reeves to mentor him. That happened to be exactly what Garrett needed.....serious mentoring from an experienced offensive mind. Unfortunately, I think he balked at that and Uncle Jerry pushed Reeves out with the time clock BS.

Would you leave a job which pays you 3 1/2-4mils a yr when there are only 32 of them in existence?

 

[dbair1967]

So you are of the opinion that Jerry has done a good job as a GM and has the team well stocked with talent on both sides of the ball, and has for years.

Under these conditions I would, but since he has no balls or backbone, he'll let himself get hung out to dry and then fired.
