NFL  > Dallas Cowboys  > This week's excuse (revisit)
October 15, 2012, 11:51 AM
So, another year, same stale results. Promise at the beginning of the season only to be dampened by the reality of another mediocre year.

What gives with the Cowboys? Is this the reality until Jerry Jones either sells the team or dies?

Jerry is not Dallas' problem.

We have the talent...now the talent needs to produce.

Garrett is the problem.

Until Garrett improves as a coach, the team will be mired in mediocrity.

It's not easy losing a game with the stats the Cowboys had. The coaching sucks. Leading the way are Garrett and Joe DeCamillis. To hear JJ tell it these are excellent coaches. Really? Special teams play gives games away on a regular basis. Garrett can't tell time or doesn't comunicate well..or both!!

It was Jones decision to appoint Garrett as head coach. The buck stops with Jerry.

hard not to think JJ is not a problem as GM. and thinking garrett will improve could be a stretch. also, not many owners would hire a HC that needs time to learn the specifics of being a HC in the NFL? that goes back to JJ - looks like a problem to me. there are HC candidates out there that don't need this "learning period" but JJ has yet to consider them. guess it's cause JJ says we have excellent coaches.

Just like Wade was the problem... and Parcells before him.

Remember Parcells' comment in 2006 - "I don't coach penalties".



Draft dumb players - they make dumb mistakes.

give him that handbook and let him go to D2 or juco..... he's supposed to be so smart, you think he'd be able to figure out clock management in a few yrs, but maybe they don't teach you that in ivy league schools

A lot of these "intelligent" people....those who attended these upper class colleges, etc., are book smart. Not all, if any, have common sense. Garrett is one of these with no common sense, I'm afraid.
