The Jason Garrett speculation has begun

Quote:
Garrett is familiar with the New York/New Jersey market, albeit not as a coach. But he is definitely familiar with coaching under pressure. He plays for an owner/GM, Jones, who is frequently and publicly candid with his analysis of the Cowboys’ performance.

Pressure in this market wouldn’t be an issue for Garrett. And it’s not like he’d have to worry about his GM or owner publicly assessing him on a regular basis, since Dave Gettleman and Mara don’t speak to reporters nearly as often as Jones.

Yes, because he has done so well with the Cowboys who have some of the best talent in the NFL and have had it for several of Garrett's seasons with the Cowboys.

This throw shit at the wall and hope some of it sticks mentality has to stop.
This is very possible if Gettleman is retained

Tom in NY : 11/13/2019 12:10 pm : link
Anything beyond that is asking for the losing to continue.
The Giants biggest challenge now is to have someone that can hold players accountable, raise expectations, and design game plans that attack the opponents weaknesses...while continuing the development of Daniel Jones.
I'm not sure Garrett has accomplished the vast majority of that list in his current role.
Did you watch the game against minnesota?

I dunno...maybe his teams only look good Week 1 because they're playing the Giants.

I would be interested in seeing Garrett with another team, though I'm not sure if I want that to be the Giants. I think some folks oversell the talent on the Cowboys, and I see working under Jones as a hindrance to a coach rather than a help.

GiantBlue : 11/13/2019 12:34 pm : link
The players have to help each other to get better. They need to know everyone's position and responsibilites so they can coach on the field. With that comes respect from the younger players. From that comes the ability kick someone's ass who isn't trying or to motivate a younger player who is having trouble with certain assignments.

Give me the on-field teachers. They mean more to me than some guy standing on the sideline of what they now call practices (really spa days!).

I want the guys who bleed for each other and get in each other's face to make them better. Garrett, Shurmur, Belichek do so much.....but it is the players who really need to hold each other accountable.
We're doomed.

Garrett  
Lines of Scrimmage : 11/13/2019 12:51 pm : link
is a good coach.

I think he was the one who got Dallas to commit to the draft with a emphasis on the OL. Remember he played for Dallas when they had arguably the best ever one.

Team seems to play hard during his tenure. That said, let him go somewhere else if he loses his job.

I think Dallas is over rated on the defensive side so I am not so sure of the love-fest for the coaches on that side as is the overall team.

I don't see that team winning a Super Bowl anytime soon and not just because of Garrett.

FWIW  
Bernie : 11/13/2019 12:54 pm : link
Will McClay and Stephen Jones are in charge of personnel for the Cowboys. I think it would be hard to argue against the fact that they have built an impressive roster.

Having said that, Jason Garrett is on par with Pat Shurmur for in-game decision making. Minnesota did not have an answer for Amari Cooper on Sunday night. Yet in crunch time, you turn the ball over on downs by going to Zeke on 3 straight plays after gaining 8 yards on 1st down via a pass to Cooper. What? So no thank you to Jason Garrett.

You want a coach that would be the perfect fit? Matt Rhule.
This is kind of  
Giantophile : 11/13/2019 12:56 pm : link
how I feel. Hiring a coach can be like drafting a QB. Not all 'draft classes', so to speak, are created equal.

There don't seem to be a ton of inspiring choices floating around for a new HC and after McAdoo and now Shurmur the pressure is on Mara to really get it right. Garrett is the safest choice and will prob be the choice if he shakes loose.

Rudy5757 : 11/13/2019 1:29 pm : link
The Cowboys have been under performing based on their roster for a number of years. look at this season and its not good.

The Giants might be the worst football team in the league right now and Dallas has 2 wins against us and only leads us by 3 wins. they have 5 wins on the season, 2 against the Giants, 1 against Washington, 1 against Miami and 1 against the eagles which was a good win.

They lost to the Jets. They lost to every good team they have played except the Eagles. Shurmur could have 5 wins with that roster and I think he would have more. hard pass.
When..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 11/13/2019 1:29 pm : link

You have asserted several times that no good coach will work with Gettleman.

And you've been saying it over and over again. This isn't the principle where if you say something over and over again without evidence that it becomes true.
Here's something that isn't a narrative:  
Go Terps : 11/13/2019 1:30 pm : link
In his career as a GM Gettleman has helped hire only one head coach: Shurmur. Shurmur was, at the time, one of the last desirable candidates in his coaching class. We've heard from at least a couple places that the Giants preferred Patricia or McDaniels.

And this isn't just a Gettleman issue. In general, is it attractive to top head coach candidates to have a GM foisted on them?
Garrett would be an uninspiring choice

Go Terps : 11/13/2019 1:33 pm : link
Also, is it good business to have the coach and GM on different timelines? All it does is set Gettleman up as the fall guy when they suck again.

That's what this organization excels at: creating fall guys.
The standard business..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 11/13/2019 1:38 pm : link
in the NFL is to have a Coach and GM on different timelines.

It's likely the case for 3/4ths of the league because you don't always have dual switches of the positions. In fact, you rarely do.
Is that actually true, or did you pull that from thin air?  
Go Terps : 11/13/2019 1:42 pm : link

You think that most NFL teams with separate GM's & HC's also have the same hire date?

I have no statistics but it seems like common sense the majority wouldn't.
Go through the teams..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 11/13/2019 1:48 pm : link
and see when the GM and coach were hired. We're the only team in our division to have the same timeline. Even the Raiders aren't on the same timeline, bringing Mayock in a year later. I'm struggling to identify more than a handful of teams who made a switch at the same time. The Niners are on the same timeline.

The Panthers aren't on the same timeline. Falcons on different timelines. Saints.

But at least there's factual evidence that the timelines often don't mesh. Unlike the assertion that no good coach will work for Gettleman.

Well, since McDaniel went to Tenn and then quickly quit and went back to daddy in New England and Patricia chose the Lions, I fail to see what option Gettleman had. I don't remember the narrative being that PS was a bad choice being the common thought process. Turns out he is a bad choice, but that is ex post facto.

Has every good GM hit on a good HC 100% of the time?

IMO it could do more harm than good to fire a GM after only two seasons only to then have to give the new man brought in the proper time to see his vision through, one which often undoes much of what his predecessor had put into place. That's a formula for a lot more years of losing. GM's need time to see their vision through and in DG's case that is even compounded because not only was he tasked with rebuilding a team left woefully thin of talent, but that he also had to find and replace a franchise QB.

The Giants problem was giving Reese too much time but you can't out of frustration make that worse by not giving the next guy enough time.

bigbluehoya : 11/13/2019 2:14 pm : link
for the Shurmur hire since we know what a significant role ownership insists on playing in that regard.

The reason that I'd fire him at the culmination of this season is for the assessment he made either prior to (perhaps as a precedent of being hired) or upon being hired that this team was in a strong enough position heading into the 2018 season that it was advisable to not only commit to Eli at QB, but to make significant short term resource allocations to players like Solder, Ogletree, Omameh, Martin. And then to basically do the same thing over again once 2018 was an abject failure.

The amount of available resources in this upcoming offseason is too significant to be entrusted to someone who made such an assessment of this roster 2 years ago.

Seems like you are saying that Mara had a hand in hiring Shurmur (I think a big one) but then he told Dave to handle everything else? Really does not make sense. I think it is very likely Mara told Dave and Pat to fix the line as best as possible with Eli the QB. Hence Solder

HCs in college chooses his own players, not the AD. They know exactly what they want to fit their system. Pro game should be the same way. The key there, then, is getting a capable staff of assistant who can on more responsibility so the HC can run the team like a CEO.

I agree. It's bucking a lot of the accepted practices in the NFL.

But what we are doing now it's working. So I think it would be worth the stretch with the right candidate to try it.

Look, it's all academic because I know Mara would never adjust his thinking to move in this direction.

Not too many HC that are their own GM's win championships. It is a very small club.


judging anytype of sucess on SBs is silly.

The pats winning every other year skews everything.

FYI to the earlier point - the seahawks coach and GM were on the same time line

Reid and Dorsey both started in KC at the same time but dorsey was later canned

wouldn't assume that Garrett won't work with Gettleman.

I just don't want him as the head coach of the Giants.

your biggest issue is that you are one-note. At the moment your negativity is understandable, but your tunnel vision and repetition are so tiresome. You post the same shit 50 times a day.

So then don't fucking read it.

I first mentioned Garrett as the most likely next coach months ago. Here we are.

I'm done rationalizing and making excuses for the pathetic way this team is run. Sorry if it hurts the delicate sensibilities of some here that want to lie to themselves about things like Gettleman being a good GM.
And I'm not negative, I'm accurate

Im sure if Rex Ryan were offered a Dc coach for giants we could turn the d around. Ryan had good defenses just garbage on offense with the Jets. OC and HC I wouldnt mind McDaniels or someone with a better sense of mind calling plays

Gettleman had only had to hire one coach, and that hire has been a catastrophic failure.

Why we should give him the chance to hire another is also something for which we have no evidence.



Well, since McDaniel went to Tenn and then quickly quit and went back to daddy in New England and Patricia chose the Lions, I fail to see what option Gettleman had. I don't remember the narrative being that PS was a bad choice being the common thought process. Turns out he is a bad choice, but that is ex post facto.
The commentary criticizing Garrett after the Vikings loss  
shyster : 11/13/2019 4:40 pm : link
has been that he is too stuck on the running game and on wanting to center the offense around Elliott.

That would put him in tune with DG but not in a good way.

Also recall that Louis Riddick made a comment after his GM interview with NYG that he got the impression that his prospective employers wanted the Giants to be a running team.

In the room would have been the Maras, Abrams and Accorsi.

Link is to SB Nation site criticism of Garrett.

for the Shurmur hire since we know what a significant role ownership insists on playing in that regard.

The reason that I'd fire him at the culmination of this season is for the assessment he made either prior to (perhaps as a precedent of being hired) or upon being hired that this team was in a strong enough position heading into the 2018 season that it was advisable to not only commit to Eli at QB, but to make significant short term resource allocations to players like Solder, Ogletree, Omameh, Martin. And then to basically do the same thing over again once 2018 was an abject failure.

The amount of available resources in this upcoming offseason is too significant to be entrusted to someone who made such an assessment of this roster 2 years ago.



Seems like you are saying that Mara had a hand in hiring Shurmur (I think a big one) but then he told Dave to handle everything else? Really does not make sense. I think it is very likely Mara told Dave and Pat to fix the line as best as possible with Eli the QB. Hence Solder


I don't think Mara "meddles" as everyone suggests.

But we know for a fact that he is heavily involved in the head coach selection.

It is also my personal belief that keeping Eli as the QB for 2018 was a pre-requisite in the GM/HC selection process. But there is nothing to prove that (or disprove, that, I might add), so I won't insist on that.

But either way my take is he should be fired.

If he was just the figurehead to carry out what Mara decided and build the rest of the roster --> plan failed, short-term roster build-out failed, opportunity of offseason 2020 is too big to risk on a regime that has given little reason for hope.

If it was his own judgement that 'spend $ now to try and win with Eli' was a realistic approach --> gross miscalculation and cannot be entrusted with the opportunity of the 2020 offseason.

Given the rapidity of your posting, I'm sure you didn't take the time to read.

The Forbes article criticizes Garrett's unwillingness to recognize and adapt to the relative strengths of the weapons available to him on a given team in a given year. It contrasts that with the Patriots' success under BB with a variety of approaches.

The SB nation article praises the Vikings use of Cook while criticizing Garrett's stubbornness in the use of Elliott.

and everyone says he's been away from coaching for too long, but Bill Cowher would be a great fit for rebuilding the Giants. He is a defense-oriented coach, and our current offense is weak as water.
They don't need a milquetoast coach like Garrett, they need someone who's going to get in the players faces and demand perfection.
I'd also consider hiring Tom Coughlin as the next GM.
I trust his evaluations about players, and I like how strict TC and BC both are when dealing with their players.
I want Giants Pride to return, right now is buried under bulls**t!
Thanks Mara! Shut up, stay out of the way....just sign the checks and sit in the background.
Garrett's got no balls, he couldn't fix this mess if his life depended

I do wonder if Cowher looks at Gruden is doing and gets an itch.
John Fox still has the itch.

And seems like a mediocre retread hire befitting our ownership. Better than Shurmur, though. I'm surprised his name hasn't been brought up much here.
