2018 Random Cowboys Stuff Thread...

I can’t see Riley being ready yet for the NFL. He is still learning how to be a coach at a highly successful college program. He needs more tenure with keeping success as the norm to really get to be a seasoned coach who has kept a successful program on target. Maybe after three to five years of coaching at the current level will round him to the level he can bring that success to the NFL.

Are you new here? We hire unproven qb coaches for the HC position and then let them learn on the job.

Even Wade isn't enough of an idiot to return to Dallas. He's already been screwed over once there.

The pining for Wade is beyond retarded; the man is a mess as a coach. No thanks.

As a HC, true so that too.

I dont think anybody wants Wade. My post was a poor joke as its about the last and worst hire thats even remotely possible. Even for Jerry.

Would still be an upgrade over what we have now though.

I don’t understand the numerical assignments as to probability. Is this a number system of odds such as 250 means 250 to 1 And 3000 is 3000 to 1?

Not new here nor am I new to the Cowboys. See my tag line at the bottom of each post.

Riley's happy where he's at and no way in Hades does Saban give up his cushy gig at 'Bama. Dallas would have to pay through the ass and cede some franchise control to either, not happening. Said it before, the book is out on the Jones family and no quality coach in his right mind would go there even if they had Fort Knox dropped in their laps. I'm sure feelers have been sent out and were shut down quickly.

I sometimes wonder whether the reason Jerry seems so stuck on Garrett is that he knows precisely that -- no coach with the right résumé or any self respect would want to work for Jerry. Jerry's worried about the humiliation factor if he has to go coach hunting. Garrett is perfectly willing to eat a shit sandwich every day. Few if any legitimate coaches would even entertain a job offer that involved eating a shit sandwich every day. Jerry knows that.

I think it means if you bet a dollar you would win $250. But if that was the case I'd put $20 on Garrett and get the massive rewards.

I think it's exactly as was speculated not too long back by some mediot close to the team. He doesnt want to start over at this late stage. Even Stephen mentioned that they didnt want to change coaches because then you might have to change all of them.

Shocked Norv Turner does not have odds.

 

[Rev]

Shocked Norv Turner does not have odds.

I know its a running joke nationally about Jerry coaching but I still fund that hilarious. Add in that he has odds and Turner doesnt makes it more hilarious.

 

[p1_]

The man has a point.

 

[DLK150]

Turner is in his 60s and it's been like 5 or 6 years since his last HC gig so his best bet is to hang on with Carolina and hope he can win one more ring there. On top of that, he was pretty much a flop as a HC plus knows Jerrah's meddling ways.

Yep Turner has had his tenure as a head coach in the nfl and memory serves me that he didn’t fare ant better than Garrett. He wouldn’t be an improvement in my opinion.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

While I agree, Fisher has more skins on his wall but towards the end of his coaching career he was crap. He was still clinging to old concepts that may have worked great 20 years ago but they don't work well in today's NFL. It's a similar situation with Garrett. He is still stuck in what worked in the 90's but the NFL has changed so much since then and he isn't capable of adapting to the NFL as it is today.

 

[Smitty]

I think Garrett is very comparable to Fisher.

thats why I like the Lewis comparison better. Lewis hasnt done shit, and neither has garrett.

I think Lewis is better than Garrett though. He has at least brought in some bright offensive coordinators. He also made the playoffs for like 5 straight years with the Bengals. I'm not a big Lewis guy but I think he is at least capable of adapting what he does.
