Garrett and the Cowboys
Is it me or does the Cowboys seem like a broken record with a dull needle. Seems every year the Cowboys are expected to be a contender and Garrett's job is safe. Now being down to the Jets at halftime, this may be just me, but I think this has finally run it's course. Maybe the Boys come back, but it just seems to me that the Cowboys and Garrett just spin their wheels.

Dallas & Washington have the same consistent problem. And it is with the people who sign the checks.

How Garrett wasn't fired at 5am today like Gruden is just baffling!
What. Is. Jerry. Waiting. On.? Garrett has lost the team, the fans. BTW, I'm a Chiefs fan, so this has nothing to do with me, but Helloooo?! |

You could put Skip Bayless up there as well. Skip is the only guy that could watch Dak Prescott go 7-21 101 yds 1td 4int and still say he is the best qb in football. He would say that 1 td shows me the potential in Prescott.

Can't believe I'm saying this, as I wish every week Garrett would be fired, butttt
neither tackle was active, the #3 and #4 WR were inactive and Cooper left after 1 drive. I can't reallllly put this loss on the offense. Giving up 24 points to the Jets is not great. |

Cowboys VP Stephen Jones was asked on @1053thefan if Jason Garrett is on the hot seat: “Absolutely not. This team just needs to get a win under its belt. I still think we can have a great year. I feel good about it. Feel great about Jason and his staff.”
I believe I started this thread with a reference to a broken record and a dull needle? |

Fortunately for the Cowboys, they are in the NFC East. Washington is only 2 games out of 1st.

Garret situation isn't like the Gruden situation at all. He got 57.6% winning percentage to Gruden's 41.8% with Washington. Also Washington was at a situation where they have to completely give up this year with the 0-5 start and a horrible team. Dallas has an average team in a horrible division, which gives them a decent chance for playoffs.
There really isn't much to be accomplished by firing Garret right now. If they lost to Eagles the next game, firing would then be much more justified, since their playoff chance would be greatly impacted with a bye week also coming up.

On a similar note, the local sports radio stations in DFW were hammering Jason Garrett today. It was something serious. |

Jerry's hand picked man.
That is what Garrett is. Remember, Garrett was originally hired by Jerry to be the OC even before Wade was hired as head coach. Firing Jason Garrett would mean Jerry would have to admit failure. Jerry's ego never allows him to do that. Sent from my SM-J337VPP using Tapatalk |

Really there isn't point firing him now. Fire him after the team has to start planning for next year. That's what Wade Philips got, and the sensible way for any team to handle the situation.

Mike Tomlin would make a good replacement for Garrett in Dallas. Anything to get him out of Pittsburgh.

I hated to see Wade go, especially for Jerry's yes-man. That's exactly what Garrett is, I agree and also why he's so hard to get rid of. But the two best coaches Dallas has had since 1990 were Jimmy and Parcells and Jerry argued with them constantly. Dallas has had a lot of luck in the draft since Stephen Jones took his dad out of the decision making process there but Garrett is basically Marvin Lewis or Jeff Fisher in my opinion
