Been told a few times now that a certain very successful NFL coach wants out from his current team. And no Chicago fans, it’s not Fox. This coach feels it’s time for a change



He wont say who it is

fucking year people treat Dallas like they are about to run the goddamned table and they've done absolutely nothing for the over two decades now.

If the Giants had a coach with only 1 playoff win in a pretty long tenure, there'd be yearly calls to get him ousted. Hell, we had a guy with 2 rings and it was "unacceptable" to miss the playoffs 3 years in a row.

What's next, pining for Marvin Lewis?
But come on Fats,

I'd snatch up Jason Garrett in a second.

I think he's a really good coach.



Disagree. He doesn't even design the offense, it's Linehan's system. He's little more than a cheerleader who calls time outs (and badly at that).


His teams seem ready to play and play hard for him.

What system he runs, what does that have to do with it?

Not sure of the TO issue, but I'll take your word on that......

IMO, if he got out from under JJ - a very tough working environment - you'd have a pretty good HC.

FatMan in Charlotte : 11/20/2017 3:36 pm : link
if the Giants had arguably the best OL in football, would we be saying the team was "playing hard" if they were on track to miss the playoffs?

If the Giants don't come out in war paint and immediately score or get a 3 and out to start the game, they are said to be "flat". Dallas can have 1 playoff win in this decade, consistently be the favorite of the division and they always play hard?

Fuck me.

He's an offensive coach who has nothing to do with the offense. Not saying he's the only one (Mike Tomlin allegedly isn't intimately involved with PITT's defense either), but it does make one wonder about his overall game scheming capabilities. That, and one playoff win in 7 years, 2 of those seasons as a top seed? He'd be run out of NY on a rail.
And, I will add, Garrett had his playcalling duties  
Section331 : 11/20/2017 3:40 pm : link
taken away from him by Jerry Jones. I see little evidence that he is a great, or even good, head coach.

Well, maybe...considering the are now missing their best offensive piece, and have a pretty sub par defense....lol.....

IMO, a change of scenery would be good for Garrett.

gmen4ever : 11/20/2017 3:57 pm : link
I can see he is a players coach, and they generally like him. But i have seen him in games where he is completely lost, or it appears that way. Long, blank stares forward, not saying much or doing much. Still, ,just an observation from a non-pro but I don't think he is a good fit for the GMEN.

McCarthy..Payton...Carroll.
The middle on is having a great season and team has decided its ID is run first. That may go against his grain...plus. that ' incident'.
Carroll's team is struggling and has fallen since his SB coaching gaffer.
McCarthys Packers need a nice draft to battle improving Lions and Vikings.
Tomlin may be tired of the grind and Ben cant survive the hits much longer...unless he learns to fall.
If they get another Ring...and Gisele says "Tommy !no more football'...he and a 67 y.o. BB may finally ride off into the sunset.

I'm going McCarthy.
My guess is that this tweet  
pjcas18 : 11/20/2017 4:26 pm : link
can be true at almost any give time and be completely made up.

But let's assume it's not made up, my ranked odds are:

1. Tomlin: Ben on the cusp of retirement, Bell a UFA and needs to be paid, defense deteriorating, OL hit with suspension, team too good to hit rock bottom and get Ben replacement. He's been there 10 years.

2. McCarthy: look how bad that team is without Rodgers. I get QB is the most important player on the field, but holy shit that offense was brutal with Hundley and they have talent elsewhere. He's been there 11 years.

3. Harbaugh: Flacco looks like dogshit, no skill guys and also too good to hit rock bottom and get a replacement QB. He's been there 9 years.

Long shots for:

Marvin Lewis (hard to see him classified as "successful" let alone very successful, but he does have 7 playoff appearances (no wins, but hey he's been there for 14 years).

Ron Rivera (no real reason just don't see him leaving)

Payton (same with Rivera, but he's slightly less of a long shot to me, he'll stay as long as Brees does IMO).

Pete Carroll (if the change of scenery involved a new NFL team I don't see it, with Russell Wilson and still a good if not quite as dominant defense why move?)

Belichick (not happening)

He's assembled a very good coaching staff around him, and he uses that to have his team prepared and playing at a very high level almost every week.

Assembling the coaching staff may be more a credit to the owner in Dallas and a willingness to spend money on coaching, but either way, Garrett gets credit in my book for using them well to have his team prepared.

That's what I miss the most about Coughlin. He may have lost several games with in-game management, but his teams were always prepared and they played hard.

The guy has one playoff win this decade. They go into nearly every season as the favorites. Two years ago they had a horrific record. This year they are more than likely missing the playoffs.

He supposedly has the best OL in the league - so how exactly is his team prepared and playing at a very high level when they've finished in the bottom half of the division more than the top half since 2010??

From 2010 through 2013, they were 4 games under .500. and had 4 straight non-winning seasons. How is that having the team ready to play and playing hard week in and out?

To add to your critique of Garrett - Via Drew Davison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys have blown 18 halftime leads in Jason Garrett’s tenure. Five times the Cowboys lost games that were tied at halftime.

The Cowboys under Garrett convert 68.4 percent of games into wins when leading at halftime, per Davison, and overcome halftime deficits 33.3 percent of the time.

Let's take a closer look at what you posted. Yes, only one win this decade. Their horrific record two years ago is directly attributed to Romo being hurt (as can be said for 2010). Garrett took over half way thru that season with Romo already hurt.

They haven't had the best OL going back to 2010.....that unit was completed by drafting center Frederick and guard Martin.

From 2011 thru 2013, they played for the division title on the final day of the season (losing each time). They won the division in 2014 and in 2016. The four games under .500 is directly attributed, again, to Romo being hurt in 2010.

Playing hard - doesn't always translate to wins. I see a ton of effort from his teams. That's just my perception.

IMO, again, I think Garrett would benefit from a change of scenery and be a good choice for a head coach by a franchise.

I can think of another coach with middling results that people here couldn't wait to run out of town, and he actually had hardware to show.

Garrett pulls those seasons out, and it is said he has his teams playing hard each and every week?

Holy fuck.

Clearly he understands that his bread is buttered on the side of being totally okay with Jerry Jones' constant sideline presence and meddling.

All I know about Dallas...  
Dan in the Springs : 11/21/2017 9:56 am : link
is it seems like the following will always be true:

1. The media anoints them and follows every move in the offseason like their jobs depend on it.

2. The collective of BBI discounts any success they've had in previous years and decides that they aren't a real threat.

3. Roster analysts determine that they have regressed.

4. They aren't eliminated until the end of December.

5. They lose in January.

I've been impressed with how Garrett has his team playing in part because I'm one of those people who for years have expected Dallas to suck only to have them prove me wrong. Sure they haven't won a super bowl, or even many playoff games, but they haven't sucked as I expected them to.

Look who they have played. They got beat by the CHI, almost lost to IND, they allowed more points to KC than the Giants did. They have (by my eye test) have had the easiest defensive schedule in the league by a lot and they play 3 of the worst offenses in the league 2 times each with CIN, CLE, and BAL.

their best player on D is still probably James Harrison and he's 100 years old, their secondary is extremely vulnerable and they have significant cap issues.

After watching their last game (in a win) I felt like the Patriots would hang 50 on them.

Where did I say that? I referencing your point about them being four games under .500 during that span. Romo was hurt half way thru the 6-10 year (in fact, earlier than half way I believe). That contributed largely to them being 6-10.

If he's not hurt in 2010, they probably aren't under .500 for that span - debatable, but likely.

And two of those years they lost Romo. That's a pretty huge loss.

More about the Cowboys, while Romo was a terrific player, he did kinda choke in clutch situations. You saw that in 2011 and 2012 in season ending loses, where they could have been 9-7 and division winners with a win.

Is that on Garrett?

Also, in 2013, Garrett had to play for the division again versus Philly on the final weekend without Romo. Yes, hurt again.

I like Garrett, when we fire BM and Garrett was available, I'd certainly interview him.

I think the Pats bulldoze anyone to get to the SB if they don't have any significant injuries........
