If you were gonna replace Garrett, who would you target right now?
I don't replace Garrett. And I don't replace Linehan either. I have my issues with both coaches but I'm not rocking the boat with this young team after a 13-3 season. We joke about continuity but I think with a young QB like Dak, continuity is huge.

Better to change early in his career than later. If we are to change the coaching staff, the sooner the better.
Except what this staff has been doing to develop Dak is working.

If Andy Reid shook loose I'd be interested, but not many other coaches right now.

Also, I disagree, I think it is better to switch after the young QB has logged a few years.

I don't agree. I think there is a lot to be said for continuity when it concerns development. So, you either make the switch now, or don't for at least 5 years.

Interesting answers.
They arent going to change now. We just have to keep the coaching decisions out of his hand (such as the timeout choice) by winning decisively.

I'm sure as hell not switching offenses on the guy. And everyone calling for all these whole sale changes are crazy in my opinion. You're team just went 13-3. They showed great improvement from 2015. Why anyone would want to throw all that away and start from scratch is crazy to me. I'm not dumping half the roster or doing anything crazy. Like I've said, this offense should be good for a while. I hold as much of it together as possible and I continue to build the defense.

Our past two seasons that we've had our starting QB (so to speak) we've had 12 and 13 wins. It basically coincides with Garrett becoming a walk around coach.

For now it seems to be working and there's little reason to change. He needs to show he can get deep into the playoffs though.

Agreed.

I, for one, am not saying we should make wholesale changes. I was simply saying that if the plan is to switch at some point, I had rather them do it sooner rather than later.

Agreed. That is why I say he needs to look at some Broad brush approaches to prepare the team and himself to deal with the varying contingencies that occur in the successful pursuit of a championship.

When it's all said and done Dak Prescott performance this season probably saved Garrett's image and job.

Just like Romo has been doing for years.

This was on the 3rd and 20 play that lost us the game. Clear hold.

It's a joke really. You could go back to the Free hold and it looks nothing like a hold. It's a joke really. And frankly that hold on the 3rd and 20 wasn't even the first time the Packers badly held. When Rodgers runs around like that it makes it really difficult for O-lineman. There's just grab and tackle and don't get called.
