Yes.Are you forgetting the pick 6 he threw?

Well yes he doesn't have the horrible playcalling that Garrett does in crunch time, The Saints problem over the years was their inability to stop anyone on defense. I would take Payton over Garrett in a heartbeat!!Payton has had 3 consecutive 7-9 seasons. He's had 3 dissapointing exits from the playoffs since 2010. Is there really anything Payton has done since Garrett started coaching that would show he's an upgrade over Garrett?
They basically need to blowout every team to win. Any close games and Garrett shits the bed and it's pretty much a loss unless the players bail them out in spite of coaching.Said it all along. It will take a supremely talented team on both sides of the ball for Garrett to ever win a title. He is simply incapable of navigating the waters when the competition gets tough. There is a reason we have lost practically every high stakes game he has ever coached.
It is still cute when your Garrett claws come out.Cowboys never win close games?
More ridiculous Garrett hyperbole.
Yeah, I mean... facts are generally cute I guess.It is still cute when your Garrett claws come out.
Why didn't you include all the coaches who have been available over the last seven years? Don't you want every position upgraded whenever possible? Then why not a spare head coach who adds nothing?Belichick isn't available.
You know who was available? Ben McAdoo. Doug Pedersen. Doug Marrone. Adam Gase. Todd Bowles.
I love this line of argument, too. Yeah, he gets credit for immensely talented players for Zeke Elliott and Dak just because they're rookies. I guess if he had rookies Jerome Brown, Bruce Smith, Lawrence Taylor, Jerry Rice, Ray Lewis, and Ronnie Lott that would prove even more how good he is! Because rookies!townsend said:Does Garrett get no credit for repeating his stellar 2014 campaign with rookies replacing their pro bowl QB and league leading rusher?

You see, I don't buy the "anything good is Linehan, everything bad is Garrett" logic. That's just picking your favorites.I think Linehan has done a great job since joining the team.
It is Linehan's show, though. That was obvious early in 2014 when we were down 21-0 to the horrible Rams and didn't give up on the run.You see, I don't buy the "anything good is Linehan, everything bad is Garrett" logic. That's just picking your favorites.
Cause after like, year one or year two, he wasn't getting fired, nor was he getting fired after 12-4 in 2014, or this year after 13-3.Why didn't you include all the coaches who have been available over the last seven years?
Yes, and I've said as much.... but this is where the Anti-Garrett crowd flies off the handle, generally.Don't you want every position upgraded whenever possible? Then why not a spare head coach who adds nothing?
Yeah, he does get credit for these players being rookies and excelling. I mean, ok... take away Elliott maybe, he was the fourth pick in the draft.I love this line of argument, too.

Huge difference between a team that is spiraling down the drain, and is clearly out of control of a head coach who doesn't really care anymore, versus a young team that has been slowly built into one that is capable of contending, with a coach that the players like and respond to, with at least some semblance of a professional, respectable culture being cultivated for long term success.In retrospect, we shouldn't have fired Barry Switzer until 2003 because we couldn't guarantee a better coach until BP came along. Switzer may have lucked into another Super Bowl win before 2003. Who knows?
Andy Reid has been available during the last seven years. So has Jim Harbaugh. Were you for hiring them at the time?When I say "Yes, I'd replace him when an Andy Reid or Sean Payton become available because they are clear upgrades," they spin out of control, accusing me of just protecting him, frothing at the mouth about how that's not good enough.
Except it's not Linehan's show. Garrett is the head coach. Linehan doesn't do anything without Garrett's approval.It is Linehan's show, though.
I guess you missed 2013 when Garrett quietly took back playcalling from Callahan and then the following offseason, Jerry stepped in and took playcalling away (again) and said that wouldn't happen again.Except it's not Linehan's show. Garrett is the head coach. Linehan doesn't do anything without Garrett's approval.
Yes, Linehan injected some much needed new ideas into our scheme, and the results have been wonderful.
Garrett is still in charge. If Garrett wanted to go pass happy, Linehan would have to go pass happy.
Andy Reid was available for exactly one offseason of the past 7 and yes, I said I would support firing Garrett for Reid at the time.Andy Reid has been available during the last seven years. So has Jim Harbaugh. Were you for hiring them at the time?
Yes, and you are wrong.And no, I don't give him credit for Dak.
So Jerry is Jason's boss?I guess you missed 2013 when Garrett quietly took back playcalling from Callahan and then the following offseason, Jerry stepped in and took playcalling away (again) and said that wouldn't happen again.
