Archer: Continuity a key for Jason Garrett's coaching staff

[VA Cowboy]

That was the whole idea.

Would've been easier to hire a better HC, but Jerry wouldn't have been as comfortable with that.

I know. I winning season primarily due to the two coordinators and we've locked him up long term.

They all have about the same shelf life.

If things go south, Jones could take everyone to the woodshed and stuff.

I don't think you have to have a super duper head coach to produce a winner. You have to have one that knows how to staff people that can make you look good. That applies in many organizations. I have been a manager or supervisor virtually all my working career and i have found this to be true. If you get the right peiople and allow the staff to apply themselves chances they will make you look good.

If they fit the critera then yes.

Your definition is arbitrary and thus meaningless.

The Parcells/Landry 3 year rule for players is arbitrary, and it doesn't always work, but I think it's a good rule of thumb. I think it works for coaches pretty well too. There's only so long a team can be expected to throw good money after bad.

Also, Marvin Lewis sucks. He's finally getting to the playoffs, WOO! His team folds like a wet napkin as soon as they get there. I wouldn't trade Jason Garrett for him.

P-p-p-push it!

I don't why this made me laugh out loud. Tell me you'll use this in court.

Prosecutor: .....no more questions, your honor.

Judge: Your witness.

Schmitty: The prosecutor contends that my client is predisposed to physical violence due to his rough upbringing. Well, p-p-p-push it! He is pushing an agenda with this being his 7th straight case criminalizing foster-home kids.

Look it up agenda-boy

...and tell me you say this like Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future.

He should've been canned a long time ago and gone back to being a DC. The Bengals are morons. John Fox has had far more success than Lewis and he even got the ax.

Marvin Lewis is Black Wade Phillips.

Marvin Lewis is Black Wade Phillips.

He's not that bad but he isn't particularly good.

 

[VA Cowboy]

Marvin can't get past the wildcard game. Clay nailed it.

Marvin's teams don't seem to be getting worse every single year though.

 

[VA Cowboy]

Marvin's teams don't seem to be getting worse every single year though.

In the long term Marvin has maintained the mediocrity longer than Wade. But I think the the comparison still holds. Neither can do better than a little above average.

He's had ups and downs, Cincy is just more patient with his failures than Buffalo, Denver or Dallas.
