Why fire Garrett?

He's 3-1 with Romo and the only loss against an undefeated 11-0 team.

Yup. Put his head in the guillotine.

Well lets call a spade a spade then. Garrett fucked up the entire stretch with Romo out but he will be given a free pass. That's really what you're saying.
I don't agree he fucked ip the "entire stretch." I would say in general even if he had Romo this season was below what I would have expected, and that's an indictment itself.

But I think docking points for having the scramble to adjust to your backup QB is kinda stupid.

I wonder if Garrett will have the nerve to say "we did some good things" at his post-game press conference today like he usually does when we lose thanks to him not giving us the coaching edge.
I promise you at least five future props if he doesn't.

I hate to say it, but if Romo is out the rest of the year I don't even know how I'm going to watch the team from here to the end.

If anyone ever tries to act like Vegas odds have anything to do with which team is actually favored to win remember the time a 3 win Dallas team was favorited over a 10 win undefeated Carolina.

If there was any point to this season I'd be worried about Cassel taking off so much. Seems like his coach should remind him to be careful...

Also if Romo broke his collarbone again, how can you even rely on him next year? You pretty much have to be prepared for another one.

F Garrett. Two +.500 records in 5+ years, one was because he replaced a coach that actually sucked worse than he does and the other was thanks to an offensive line that exceeded expectations.

He must've come back to early. He'll probably be ok next season. Collarbone breaks aren't chronic usually. Unless he has osteoporosis or something

Wondering if the next 3 years will be like Aikman and his inept replacements...or more like Danny White and the QB controversy with Pelleur and Hogeboom?

There is a world of difference between saying Garrett won't be fired and saying he shouldn't be.
My feeling is that it hasn't been good, but coming off a 12 win season combined with the injuries and suspensions I don't think a punitive firing is warranted.

Another 8-8 season with healthy personnel would, I'd say.

But if he can only win games with his starting QB then I fail to see the value in him as a coach.

The Colts are stacking up wins with Hasselbeck. 49ers got wins with scrub QBs. But Garrett is sitting on a goose egg without Romo.

That tells me that Garrett isn't needed.

He is set up so well.

Never, EVER will face accountability for his scheme. Sorry, Linehan is a like minded stooge that is not even worthy of blame.

I am sure that the D will be scapegoated when all is said and done.

There was a tweet to that effect. Saying that he actually came back a couple of games too early and the chance of rebreaking was greater but the sense of urgency for Romo was too great that he decided to play regardless.
