it's not that it is an "out of the box idea" but just plain dumb. countless players go from the court/field to coaching.... a logical move. BUT no player in any sport goes from player to HC. i agree that more time as an assistant is required for this to work. and let's be honest.... we've all seen kidd interviewed before and he doesn't seem to be the smartest player on the court. i don't think he's a good fit as HC for any team so early. this has failure written all over it!!
we will never agree on romo..... we both know this. maybe it has to do, as you said, with the "other than playoffs." stats are nice, but people get excited about seeing their team play in january. something dallas and romo are not too familiar with doing, regardless of the reasons.
hard to know about the giants.... they could be tough next season. but romo will never be manning like, and really, eli will neve be romo like. eli has his ups and downs, but he has 2 rings and has proved he can be a gamer in critical times. he's earned respect, unlike romo.
so there were no QB draft options in 2nd or 3rd round? there were..... and if, and it may be a BIG if, but if matt flynn turns out to be a good QB in oakland.... there was one option that was overlooked. actually, nobody was overlooked cause JJ was not looking. he is content with a marginal QB, as most fans are. we say, "he's the best since aikman!" and he is! but we had bums QBing back then. guys no other NFL team would roll the dice on like JJ did. so we are now stuck with romo. and it's likely we will look back in 5 yrs when he's done and see that he was one of the problems on a team full of countless problems.... with the main one being JJ.
i'm just waiting for all the, "well, who you gonna get that's better than garrett?" comments. kinda like what we heard from all the romo backers the last 6 mths. "who you gonna get that's better than romo?" like there is absolutely no other option at QB besides romo. so it made sense to give him $100 million and lock him up for 7 more yrs??
there is always other options for any member of a team. but you have to be creative and have the ability to make good decisions...... something we don't have in the dallas front office. garrett has made many mistakes as HC that have affected games in one way or another. but that's what you get with a "learning on the job" HC.
another .500 season and no way garrett keeps his job. JJ is a delusional snake oil salesman with diarrhea of the mouth. he says stuff just to keep his mug in the news..... people know not to trust much of what he says. he's created this image of himself that he must believe is something positive, when in reality, most fans of any team in this league hate him.
athletes should have goals, no question..... we should all have goals. but to share how he wants to do something the will never,ever be done again..... speaks of arrogance! and this kid is all about arrogance. can't wait till he wakes up in reality next season!!!
lots of "flash" and money, rolex watches..... he's a celebrity in his own mind. his comments are why you don't give an award like this to a freshman. he wasn't ready for this and he's likely had his best year ever in his career.
his sophmore year will be a let down and the NFL will be ignoring this "flash in the pan" guy. years from now we will all be saying... "johnny who??"
if JJ doesn't hire jimmy back when he bought the team, we never have those 3 SB wins in the 90s. he could have easily hired another "garrett" back then and then all we feel today starts way back in the early 90s.
at least he did one thing right....... a few decades ago in hiring jimmy. but JJ's ego has grown HUGE since the 90s and we are stuck with this idiot making all the decisions for what has become a very average team in this league.
our only hope of real change is a new HC that can judge talent, negotiate fair deals, and get the most out of his players. this can only be accomplished by a seasoned, proven HC.
jimmy would have likely stayed another year or maybe two. and if he stays one more year and wins the SB.... he's the only HC in NFL history to win 3 SBs in 3 yrs. no question jimmy was getting fed up with JJ and their time was coming to an end, but if JJ stays out of jimmy's business dallas wins that third SB and the jimmy likely leaves.
notice all the other post from fans of other teams....... they absolutely LOVE JJ and hope he lives to a 100 yrs old. not hard to see that having JJ making all the decisions is a huge bonus for the other teams in this league.
garrett is nothing but a puppet.... that's all he's capable of being under JJ. and ryan was fired because JJ wanted him out. he was too vocal and it probably cost him his job. anyone that has an opinion won't last long on this staff. running off jimmy after 2 SB wins clearly shows JJ's ego problems. has any other NFL owner run off their HC after winning a SB??? it has never happened!
no real changes on this team...... no reason to expect any more than another .500 year. look forward to seeing the next "yes sir" man JJ brings in after this season. JJ is simply destroying this franchise.
this would be the second logo change under his ownership....... a little too soon and maybe he should focus on a second championship, but that's a little more challenging!
i guarantee you that 90%+ of people feel JJ had absolutely nothing to do with these 3 titles except hiring jimmy johnson. give credit where credit is due..... and JJ was a brand new owner back then and had little to nothing to do with the players on those teams.
since he ran off jimmy.... this is clearly JJ's team and look where we are now!!
likely garrett.... but really it won't matter who does this. they have nobody on the coaching staff that is capable of effectively doing this so regardless of who calls the plays, it won't be season changing. and this is garrett's year to get over the hump into playing in january or it will be his last season. i'm betting it's his last year w/ dallas.
same ol, same ol for this bunch
