I ain't Schmitty but...
I really don't get all the teeth gnashing and hair pulling over this.
I mean what do y'all really expect?
"Yeah this team sucks! I don't know how we ever won ten games this year! I should probably resign as head coach and tell Jerry to sell the team! Have a great off season guys!"
What self respecting head coach is gonna say that? All he can do is come out and say they were out played and they have to do better, I know it's not what you wanna hear but let's be real for a minute. Nothing he or any other HC says is gonna make you feel better after a loss like that.
I'm no fan of Garrett by any stretch of means but this is just silly!
I'm gonna go back to creating genius threads like "Dak vs Troy" now.
That's 99% of the bitching. There is a thread of valid frustration, blown way the fuck out of proportion because every. last. game. and every. last. play. and every. last. press conference becomes some sort of referendum on his effectiveness. It's a race to point out after each loss who can pinpoint why and how he fucked up. It will always be his fault, because that's the culture that has developed around this clique of fans.
That's how we get essentially disproven nonsense like "He's robotic. I don't know how the players respond to him." Well, dummy, it's because he's only robotic when the camera is in front of his face because it's part of the coach-speak act.
No one is willing to have an actual legitimate pro/con analysis because if they give him any credit at all, for which he does deserve a bunch, they are afraid that means they lose the argument and he can't be fired, which is their only objective.... even above winning games, for some of them.
You can think he needs to be replaced. There is a fair argument there. But you won't find that fair argument to be had on this board, or probably any board. People have the mob mentality. It's why the knives come out when he goes 4-12 with no quarterback. HE SUCKS! He should have won 4 games instead of 2 with Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassel!
