This is the heart of it.To fire Garrett would be admitting that the last 8 years have been a waste. Jerry's made an investment in Garrett. He's kept adding to it and held on to it way too long. So firing Garrett after all this time makes Jerry look really, really stupid and incompetent to a degree that can't just be brushed aside. That might worry Jerry more than anything.
Yea, Jerry lies about this shit all the time.The thing to remember is also, Jerry doesn’t throw people under the bus. He defended Wade then fired him shortly after. He denied looking to replace Campo and then interviewed Bill Parcells.
It would be sad if 8-8 saved him again. That's a career's worth of 8-8 and I'm sick of it. I'd rather an new coach came in, we lost for 2 years and actually were building for something rather than suffer through the hell of more mediocrity. It's like the Mavs now. The past few years of just trying to do something with Dirk and barely make the playoffs sucked. Now with DSJ and Luca in the past 2 years of drafts, they are still bad, but you can see the hope for the future so losing doesn't feel so futile.Yea, Jerry lies about this shit all the time.
I think 8-8 might be enough to save Garrett's ass for one more year but anything less and I'm fairly sure he's fired.
by the same token, when your investment yields no return, it's bad business to hold that investment. You have to cut losses at some point. there was a time when Jerry was a savvy business man.I don't think Jerry worries about bad decisions. He's made so many appalling decisions over the years that he'd never let a few more fiascos worry him.
But the real big appalling decision, hiring Garrett and keeping him all this time, might be the saving grace for Garrett. To fire Garrett would be admitting that the last 8 years have been a waste.

I dont think this team will make 8-8. I can easily see losses in the next 5 games straight, making it 3-10.Yea, Jerry lies about this shit all the time.

That's true about not holding on to bad investment. Unless Jerry's ego gets in the way of smart business.by the same token, when your investment yields no return, it's bad business to hold that investment. You have to cut losses at some point. there was a time when Jerry was a savvy business man.
It would be very sad, although it would mean 5-3 over the next 8, which might be enough to convince dumbass Jerry.It would be sad if 8-8 saved him again.

The end of the year is Colts/Bucs/Giants, that could easily be 3 wins in a row, we could also definitely beat the Redskins, if they can sneak another win somewhere in there that's 8.I dont think this team will make 8-8. I can easily see losses in the next 5 games straight, making it 3-10.
Im with you, the final 3 of the schedule are our best chance for wins. Nothing can be assumed or taken for granted with this squad.The end of the year is Colts/Bucs/Giants, that could easily be 3 wins in a row, we could also definitely beat the Redskins, if they can sneak another win somewhere in there that's 8.
There’s no way in hell this team goes 8-8.Yea, Jerry lies about this shit all the time.

I dunno. They have a pretty winnable last three games. Steal one or two and abracadabra dipshits, Garrett is back for his lame duck year.There’s no way in hell this team goes 8-8.
I’m thinking 5-11/6-10 at the best.
Speaking of Wade, is it possible for Garrett to just "lose" this team as the season goes on? The same way Wade "lost" the team? I remember those guys just plain quit in some games.
Keep getting your head beat in every week and all the coach does is keep spouting platitudes. I could see some guys just saying "fuck it."
That's what I keep telling everyone. He'll say that shit until the moment he fires him.Yea, Jerry lies about this shit all the time.
I think 8-8 might be enough to save Garrett's ass for one more year but anything less and I'm fairly sure he's fired.
This is exactly what I was thinking while reading some of these 8-8 comments. No damn way.There’s no way in hell this team goes 8-8.
I’m thinking 5-11/6-10 at the best.
Again, Garrett sandbagged Wade
