Same here. He has made my football life hell and never once took any sort of blame. He can go fuck himself.

Parcells has spread some excellent coaches in the NFL. I'm cool with guys that have connections to him.

The shoving act is so typical of Garrett. I'm sure he thinks it's real manly and macho. I reminds of when he was chewing out the players during one camp a couple years ago dropping the f-bomb all over the place. So unnatural.
Besides, what's he all excited about on the sideline yesterday? Winning a meaningless game against a shitty, injury-depleted team. He's acting like the TD was a big deal. Nobody gave a shit.

lol fuck Kubiak. Don't anyone bring that turd's name up in relation to the Cowboys. Don't want zimmer either, gross. I'm willing to see what Campbell can do. I want a coach that isn't afraid to go for it on fourth down from anywhere on the field. I want a coaching staff that isn't afraid of using new metrics to determine decisions. I want roster decisions made sooner with no regard for playing favorites and "the process" ..fuck all that.
Does anyone think with JJ in charge we're going to get this right? Fuck no. These are dark times.

Agreed, I don't give the first left fuck about his emotional goodbyes. It should've happened years ago, he's made millions in the meantime and has quite literally wasted years and an obscene amount of talent in the process.

I don't feel "bad" for Garrett. He is not getting a raw deal in the slightest and has actually gotten the benefit of the doubt, which I think was relatively merited given the circumstances (which we've debated over and over again, ie, the rebuilding first three years, the injury to Romo, and then the Zeke suspension).
But it's still a tender moment for a guy who is not a bad guy, despite what the haters are making up about him, who clearly cares about the organization, knowing that this part of his life is over.
But he got way more than most did and he should be grateful that. I'm sure he is.

We need a defensive minded coach, but yeah, let's watch as Snyder pounces on Rivera. Can we please hire someone who has no prior connection to Jerry or the Cowboys? Can we fucking hire the best guy available and not some warmed over candidate Jerry knows or is most comfortable with? Crazy talk, I know.

We have no need to make shit up. He did all of this to himself. Can you imagine if your boss kept blaming the company's failures on you even though it was his fault? He's a POS. No one has to make anything up to prove that point.

Enough is enough! Jason Garrett as Cowboys head coach is a lost cause, and Jerry Jones knows it
By Tim Cowlishaw
9:15 PM on Dec 29, 2019
ARLINGTON — Jason Garrett held a brief news conference after the Cowboys’ 47-16 win over Washington climaxed a bizarre 8-8 season, and it was somewhere in the middle that he realized he should maybe campaign for his own cause rather than simply repeat the usual mantra about “eyes forward,” “right kind of guys’’ and all the rest.
Asked if he feels he has a lot of coaching left in the NFL after 91/2 years with the Cowboys, Garrett said, “Oh, absolutely.” Then, his voice changing and seeming to get higher, he said, “Yeah, I want to be the coach of the Dallas Cowboys. We’ll see what happens.’’
This was strange, his even commenting on the thing everyone else has talked about for a year. Garrett’s contract expires just as his team’s season did. The Cowboys went 8-8 despite outscoring opponents by 113 points. They had a greater point differential than all three of the playoff-bound 10-win teams (Houston, Buffalo, Minnesota), not to mention 11-win Seattle, and mostly by huge margins.
“The inconsistency involved with this team was mind-boggling,’’ owner Jerry Jones said. “That’s what this time is about — reflect on it, see how we can improve.’’
If you listened to Jones, he might have fooled you into thinking he still has a decision to make on Garrett, whose winning record in the regular season but lack of success in the playoffs (2-3) are all well-documented. He spoke glowingly of Garrett, even more so than he has when pressed in the last month. But I don’t think that was the key to what Jones was saying.
I think he will make a head coaching change even if it takes a few days. Jones said, “There’s no door shut tonight. None. Anywhere.’’
And that’s what was meant to leave you with thoughts that Garrett might have a future here. I don’t think he should have one. This is a team badly in need of new direction. I believe Jones already has reached that realization but wasn’t interested in saying it on the final night of the season.
Here is what he did say that has meaning.
“I haven’t made a decision in a certain area [head coach] in a long time. I don’t know that I’d call those decisions difficult, but they are thought out. They are designed to help us be a winning team, have someone that represents the Cowboys in a way our fans expect,’’ Jones said.
And as much as the owner-general manager raves about Garrett’s character and demeanor, he understands that a team that scores 30 points half the time, a team with a 4,900-yard passer, a 1,300-yard rusher and two 1,100-yard receivers, and a team that has far better health than the one that ran it down for the NFC East crown should do better than 8-8.
“It’s unbelievable that we blew people out and then couldn’t get out of our own way at times,’’ Jones said.
He went on to say he wasn’t going to talk about coaching decisions but added, “I’ll be doing that near term.’’
It’s a coaching change that will bother Jones more than any that he has made. He shoved a two-time Super Bowl champion coach out the door with a $2 million check and smiled though it all. He let Bill Parcells make his own decision after the 2006 season but also made it clear he was fine with him leaving. Garrett has been in the middle of the Cowboys’ sideline for 91/2 seasons and while that feels like too long to most Dallas fans, Jones extends the relationship beyond even that.
He talked of a 20-year relationship including his time here as a backup quarterback and 31/2 seasons as offensive coordinator. “When I lay my head down at night or get up in the morning, I know how it’s gonna be as far as what he is as a person,’’ Jones said.
That’s nice praise. But he’s not going to extend his contract and endure a repeat of 2019. Jones believes in the talent on the team, and he thinks the young coaches brought onto the offense this year will improve. That means he will try to keep coordinator Kellen Moore and quarterbacks coach Jon Kitna if possible.
But enough is enough. And two playoff wins in nine years are simply not enough, no matter how one tries to alibi for the four 8-8 seasons and the near miss of 9-7 in 2017. In fact, one quote from linebacker Jaylon Smith, offered in support, spells out exactly why Cowboys fans are looking for the change that Jones is going to deliver.
“The one thing I can say about Jason is that he’s been super consistent regardless of the highs and lows, the 13-3 season, the 7-9s, whatever, he’s the same guy,’’ Smith said. “He’s going to be there clapping.’’
Actually, Garrett never went 7-9 but, yep, he was surely there clapping right through all of it. It’s time for the clapping to stop and a new brand of coaching to begin. It may take a few days, but Jones knows what comes next.
“The thing I do best is roll up my sleeves and go to work,’’ Jones said.
Roll ’em up, Jerry.

Yeah, I mean, I don't agree with your characterization of him "always throwing everyone else under the bus," I don't agree that sometimes when he placed blame on a player or other coach that it wasn't warranted and the correct response, I don't agree that it is at all proven that he sabotaged Wade Phillips, I don't agree with your characterization that he is a personal or professional POS.
And yes, I do think you are making it up for your agenda of being angry at him.
Did he do some of those things, some of the time? Maybe. It's a debate, and it's a much longer debate than I'm going to have at this moment in time, but suffice to say, I think those things are largely fabrications out of anger and a desire to see him replaced due to underachieving, and I will say as such.

I don't think we need a defensive minded coach.
We need a top-tier coach. Otherwise it's re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Jerry needs to swing for the fences, or, get lucky. Hopefully if he goes with someone like Campbell he gets tremendously lucky.

I'd go with neither, putting your HC in charge of personnel or creating a "co-GM" type of situation literally never works unless you're Bill Belichick.

Garrett deserves to be bounced today, but that tweet about the players being an even bigger issue.....
Exactly right. After the coach is let go, there needs to be a team meeting where someone tells them if they feel bad in the least about Garrett being let go, they need only look in the mirror to see who is responsible.
This roster is made up of colossal disappointments who care more about commercials, endorsements, hairdos, fly clothes, and piercings/tattoos.
It’s time for them to be professionals and take some responsibility for their poor performance and get their shit together going forward. A new coach is coming in, and nothing will change if these idiots are coddled.

Jerry Jones says Cowboys' Jason Garrett would have been in high demand after Black Monday
While Cowboys owner Jerry Jones did not definitively commit to head coach Jason Garrett, on Tuesday, he did praise Garrett saying he would have had offers from

One year later, yet another opportunity to see if Jerry was right. Don't hold your breath.
