Yup. He knows how to design offensive schemes to get the best out of his players. Look at how he's revitalized Chris Johnson this year.Arians can coach.
That franchise got miles out of Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer.
That's good work.
He didnt want to be tripped by his teammates...WHy did Patrick Peterson run out of bounds? He had a convoy of 4 blockers in front.
He was scared of the punter!!!
watch this team find a way to lose with a rusty Romo against Miami to get that 8th loss, guarantee a non-winning season and go right into the tank. This team is ready to quit.I agree with everybody saying that losing 7 in a row is an indictment on Garrett's coaching ability, or inability to galvanize this team enough to pull one god damned win out of their ass over 2 months. When Romo went down I said give me 4-5, and if we were 4-5 we'd honestly be in the driver's seat, hell if we were 3-6 I think I'd still pick us to win the division, but these fools couldn't even pull one damn game out of their ass without Romo there to save them and it says alot.
To me Garrett is a no-value add in terms of providing anything tangible on the field, he is just along for the ride. We have a top 10 QB, an elite WR, an elite OL and a defense that can do well enough when they have the offense giving them leads most of the time. Last year we rode a streak of good health and good fortune in terms of turnovers to a 12-4 record, as well as a breath of fresh air in terms of play-calling with Linehan. If we were healthy I think we'd be 7-2, no worse than 6-3 and probably on our way to winning the division again, but I really don't think that has much to do with Garrett.
All he does is talk in platitudes and try to create a theoretical atmosphere that he has in his mind, there is nothing wrong with that necessarily, but to me that's all he really does, aside from providing a copacetic atmosphere for the front office to live with as they come to "consensus" decisions.
Garrett is not exactly a bad head coach, he's just not a good one, he just seems to be there, not really doing much of anything. With that said, he deserves to be fired for this travesty, although he won't because the front office will want to give Romo another chance for a year or two before he's done and they probably think there's no point to starting over with a new head coach just yet.
We'll probably end up with 6 or 7 wins, just enough to put us at the back end of the top 10.
If you use that logic then you would use the owner of the Patriots, as an example, as the reason for their record rather than Bellichek as the primary reason. Owners get credit for a lot of things in the organization but coaching isn't in the mix as a rule. Otherwise Jones gets credit for the Super Bowls rather than Johnson.Who hired Garrett and stuck with him after years of mediocrity?
While true in most cases I dont believe its so in Dallas. Ever since Johnson has left Jones has his been in everything and I believe gameplanning to be true with the exception of the Parcells reign. His ego requires it. Maybe not every offensive meeting but I believe he has input.If you use that logic then you would use the owner of the Patriots, as an example, as the reason for their record rather than Bellichek as the primary reason.

That'd be fine if it means we take a chance on a QB with our definite top 7ish pick. There is also an outside chance that Garrett is fired if we finish about 4-12, although it's quite small. I do think that if we end up picking around 4-7 that Stephen will realize how rare of a situation we would be in and would push to take a chance on a QB, especially considering that the top of this draft does not look extremely strong.watch this team find a way to lose with a rusty Romo against Miami to get that 8th loss, guarantee a non-winning season and go right into the tank.

I agree, that's why I said I expect us to finish with around 6 wins, possibly as many as 7 or 8. Clay was the one who said the team is ready to give up, which would imply picking somewhere around the middle of the top 10.I just don't see a way with a healthy Romo for the rest of the way that we don't win some games. Start thinking in the teens.
