    i would throw up if he gets the OC position. He has zero experience IMO and i dont want to be the team that rolls the dice on this guy. As a TE coach he would be fine but as an OC it would be a ridiculous hire

    He has no experience as an OC, but at some point everyone has no experience as OCs. He has experience as a WR/QB/TE coach, and as offensive assistant coach. He could be very good as an OC for all we know, and Tony could call plays (just like he did in 2006 for Dallas iirc).

    So they should not hire a Cowboy even if the Cowboy is the best player for the job?

    i think ricky's point was that we seem to do the majority of our picking from the dallas cowboys and might be a little short sighted in our search efforts.

    maybe it has worked out a little in recent past picking up pieces that jerry jones didnt appreciate. but i think i read something about jones manning up and saying he was going to back off some and give his new HC more control then previous ones. so the picking should be even slimmer now if there is some one competent there making decisions.

    Hiring this guy would prove this regimes incompetence. They need to go outside the box, outside their dull offensive strategy. So what do they do ? They are willing to hire another Cowboy crony. Its hopeless until these clowns are gone.

    I love all the knee-jerk reactions when my bet is that no one here has even heard of John Garrett.

    First, the guy is very smart. He attended and played football for two (Columbia and Princeton) and graduated from one Ivy League school (Princeton). He's also played WR in the NFL. He has had plenty of both college and NFL coaching experience. He comes from a pretty impressive NFL/football lineage.

    In short, the guy seems like a good candidate.

    Good to see some relevant info to understand who he is, versus whatever was going on in this thread prior.

    apparently, Tony thinks he'll need all the friends he can get...
    or
    he knows him well & thinks he can do an outstanding job @ OC

    you just never really know until after the fact
    maybe a little bit of each. somehow, I'm uncomfortable with this one

    looks like a page out of the Parcells Rebuilding PlayBook:nutkicker:

    Well let's just wait and see I guess. I have lost all faith in this process.

    I don't know who selected the previous guys, but I hope it's not the same guy now.

    Well, I look at it this way...

    Parcells was more or less out of it after the '09 season, maybe in for the draft, but I doubt he was around for personnel decisions. We saw we had a bad defense, we got Nolan, and it got better. This year we saw QB regression and piss poor offense, and we're overhauling those positions.

    Their track record so far stands to argue that we can trust them to bring in talent, as everyone prior to '09 was basically filled in by Parcells as far as my understanding goes.

    He seems like an intresting choice, although he isnt who I would pick.

    I would also add to that that he's been the coach of a very impressive unit in dallas..Whitten is everything you want in a tight end, and technically sound, and has sustained a high level of performance, and Bennett was a malcontent that dealt with some adversity, and came out of it sucessful, he really has played well..Ive got to give Garrett some credit for that development and simply coaching the best..

    I won't hate on this too much since I don't know anything about him....but why must we keep going to the Dallas Chokeboys for help? Is there no Patriots coach we can go after? Steelers? Colts? Saints? Some other successful team that has done a good job building players. If anything the Cowboys are filled with underachievers, kind of like the Dolphins have been, which is funny considering the connection between the two staffs. We have no idea about this guy, but it doesn't inspire confidence like Mike Nolan did, seems like another Cowboys cronie. I thought we were moving away from the Parcells outdated logic?

    Hey it can't get any worse, I say give the guy a chance and if he sucks at least we'll have a whipping boy to replace Henning now that he is gone. I need to look at the bright side of things for a while asfter this season.

    Hell, anyone is a good candidate. IF he can get players to block, run, throw, and catch, I'm all for him.

    Really? Is his offensive strategy dull? I dont know anything about his stratgey, but I think its a mistake to assume his is dull just because he was Dallas' TE coach
     
  30. vt_dolfan

    vt_dolfan Season Ticket Holder Club Member

    Thats the type of info people should consider...not just assume he sux because Sparano knows him or he was from Dallas.

    if they are gonna take TE coaches and QB coaches with no OC experience, why don't they take them from teams with WINNING records??

    get them from guys that have success

    Problem with Garrett is that he comes from the same basic philosophical tree that Sparano and Miami's offense the past three seasons has been.

    It’s like telling your wife you are moving her out of the neighborhood to a better and different location and the first house you look at is three doors down on the same street.

    I don't really have an issue with Garrett in terms of pedigree. He's probably learned a great deal through Jason.

    But, I don't know why we don't expand a bit to the Chargers, Saints, or Philly QB coaches.

    Here's a novel idea, Tony: Think outside the box when it comes to the passing attack! Be Bold! Investigate Every Possible Solution!

    That's part of the problem - with these guys.

    Maybe Garrett is one of those guys. Maybe he isn't. If he's got some Sean Payton in him - great! If not, if it's more of the same ... well ...
