Cowboys Coaches - best in the NFC East

The MSP Cowboys Annual has a great section on the Cowboys coaches, with in-depth reviews of JG, Ryan and his defensive staff, Woicik and Jimmy Robinson (great work by our BTB bloggers BTW). 

This got me thinking - how does our staff stack up against the rest of the NFC East?

Star-divide

Cowboys

I won't be going through the basics on any of the key coaches, as being on BTB, I am sure you are familiar with all of them.  But I will share some thoughts and some interesting tidbits from the MSP Annual articles by rabblerousr. 

Jason Garrett

  • Nick Saban on Jason Garrett: 'He was 100 times better than the other 10 guys we interviewed'.
  • Troy Aikman: could be President if that's what he wanted to do.
  • Offered a job on the spot by JJ (exact job TBD).
  • Declined 2 HC roles because he felt he wasn't ready.

Winning a SB is a tough gig - needs a bit of serendipity as much as great coaching and players (see helmet catch).  It took Tom Landry over 10 seasons to win his first Championship as HC - somehow I don't think its going to take JG that long.  

There is one trait more than any other that gives me confidence he will be a SB-winning HC - (which rabblerousr focuses on in his article) -  his commitment to learning.   

Rob Ryan - while not quite Robin to JG's Batman (hard to picture him in that skin-tight green and yellow suit...) - he has a very similar football foundation to JG.  He is the fire to Garrett's ice, much in the same way as Jimmy and Norv.  DLine and LB's coaches he has brought in look like the goods too. 

Jimmy Robinson has got great production out of solid but not spectacular receivers.  Of more interest is why would a coach quit a SB-winning team, with great depth and great prospects, for effectively a parallel move?  In large part because of his confidence Garrett can create something special. 

Mike Woicik - 6!  'nuff said (other than noting that like Robinson he also made a parallel move from a highly regarded and successful program to work with JG - notice a pattern here?) 

Giants

Coughlin has always had a reputation for ruling with an iron fist.  I believe this type of approach has limits with today's modern player.  While a strong, disciplined framework is essential (Wade), fining players for being 2 minutes early for a meeting because they should have been 5 minutes early is autocratic bs and will wear thin.  Interestingly, the great run they had in 2007 came after Coughlin relaxed his approach during the season.  This can be done if the tough ground-rules are already laid but only works once. 

The difficulties with Barber, more recently Osi and Bradshaw and losing Smith to the Eagles indicates that Coughlin isn't a coach that inspires loyalty. 

Spagnola - The essence of the Giants has always been defence.  Its was an amazing run by Spags D that got the Giants SB win - and him a HC job.  While Perry Fewell is a solid DC, he is not Spags and this D has simply never been the same since he moved on. 

Eagles

Andy Reid is a great coach and currently the longest tenured coach in the NFL.  But winning a SB is tough.  With now 5 "so close but yet so far" seasons he is in danger of becoming Almost Andy - like Maybe Marv.  The psychological hurdle of that final step has grown immense and not made any easier by the "dream team" talk (as Cowboys fans well know). 

Juan Castillo - Like the Giants, the Eagles D had never recovered from losing a great DC in the legendary Jim Johnson who tormented Cowboys and other QB's for 10 years.

But what shocked me was that while Castillo started out on the defensive side of the ball, he has not coached defense since he was DC for Kingsville HS back in 1989.  Maybe they think after going against JJ's schemes for most of his 12 years as OLine coach that he is the best one to try to recapture what they had.  To me this is more about Reid showing loyalty to a long-time coach - but this seems like a huge risk in this "all in" season. 

Redskins

Mike Shanahan is a two-time Super Bowl winning coach.  But in my view he rates as the worst coach in the division.  It is extremely difficult to bottle lightening twice.  No SB winning HC has won again as HC of another team.  I don't like Shanahan's odds of being the first - particularly with Beck/Grossman instead of Elway (not to mention Snyder). 

I recall a KC Joyner article on Shanahan's handling of players in Denver and his desire to make players he cut look as bad as possible (Ashley Lelie/Jake Plummer) so it didn't reflect as much on him.

Not a guy I liked but I did at least respect him - until watching some of his decision-making at the Skins.  To bring in THE best 4-3 DT in the league and then switch him to 3-4 Nose was just plain nuts and extremely poorly handled.  Then to trade for McNabb and then treat him like he did made no sense either - particularly replacing him with a cold Grossman with 1:45 to go in a game. 

To me its clear: he doesn't have it any more. 

But the bottom-line - this probably won't be the year:
 - JG needs another season to mold the team with his "RKG's"
 - RR needs a proper off-season for the team to learn his complex schemes
 - Woicik needs a proper off-season to get to know his players and customize his programs for a big Dec/Jan

But I am confident it will be soon after.

nice read bud....

i just wish garrett would have been offered the job a year sooner. i believe with this staff, gives dallas the best chance to get bk to the big game since J. Johnson.

woman !, dont try to understand em, dont try to make them understand you, for they are a breed apart ! lol

A year earlier...

Garrett may not have been able to get any of these guys. Best bet for DC would have probably been Mike Nolan, personally I would rather have Rob Ryan.

This is a great read

I love this article and I agree with everything in it. Building a team is a process, not going to happen overnight, but so long as Jerry keeps his nose out of the player acquisition, this team is on the road to being a very successful team, IMO. I think this draft was an offensive draft, because that is Garrett’s side of the ball. Next year, however, I think Garrett is flexible enough, and comfortable enough, to make defensive selections.

once they know who can grasp the sytem and who can't, it will easier to replace them thru the draft.

"We were going to go out to Valley Ranch and use it as an opportunity to get back out in the heat and work, and I open up the curtains this morning very early and all of a sudden it was 68 and raining," Garrett said. "I said to the players, 'How big was the group prayer last night?' -Jason Garrett

Exactlyq

Which is why he went offense this year, out of necessity and to weed out the players who can’t grasp this system, because I don’t think Rob Ryan is going anywhere soon.

I'll begrudge the Giants

their SB win. They were not that good of a team and got extremely lucky. Crayton gives up on a play, miracle catch by a WR. Plaxico made a couple of catches. Coughlin as the article states isn’t inspiring. And Eli, where do I start. The guy looks lost. Give me Romo any day over Eli and thrice on Sundays. Dilfer and brad Johnson might be the only worse SB winners

Last years SB was the same for me

I hate the Steelers and I have ALWAYS hated the Packers. Not the players, just do not like the Packers. I hated Favre as a Packer but I was rooting for him like hell when he left. By the way, last year’s super bowl was probably the most uninteresting super bowl I have ever watched in my entire life. What a boring game that was. Good thing they had it at Cowboys stadium otherwise it would have been a total flop and completely uninteresting.

I wouldn't have minded the Pats winning

But when I see players on the sideline talking like they’re all that and then players poking opposing teams players in the eyes after plays and other stupid unsportsmanlike crap like that, I did not want them to win. One thing that makes me love America’s Team even more is the tradition of sportsmanship here. I have never heard a Cowboy come out and bash another team, talk smack about another player, question the heart or integrity of another player (especially a rival), or start a senseless word bash or fist fight with someone on the field. Not too many teams like that any more. As much as I hate the Packers, they are probably the only other team that is THAT disciplined and shows that kind of integrity. PACKERS AND COWBOYS ARE THE BIGGEST CLASS ACT TEAMS NOW AND HISTORICALLY IN THE NFL.

Really? are u sure about that?
think. just think, it isnt to hard to find an example of this.

PACKERS AND COWBOYS ARE THE BIGGEST CLASS ACT TEAMS NOW AND HISTORICALLY IN THE NFL.
actually, the giants are the biggest class act in the history of football.
the cowboys really arent a class act.
the giants release any players that are classless (see shockey).
while the cowboys pick them up (see TO).
i dont know why you say them as one of the classiest teams in football history
if it werent wellington mara, football would not be what it is today.

I don't even Have to go that far....

You got matched up against a Cowboys team that had its #1 WR hobbled by a high ankle sprain.

Then of course the coaching staff for some reason decided to start Barber instead of Julius and there were multiple instances in the first half, that if It had been JJ instead of Barber running the Ball the Game would have ended up a Lopsided Cowboy victory

Even then Dallas was a Patrick Crayton giving up on a route that had he run out it was a TD away from winning…..

and you weren’t “lucky” ? HAHA

And yes you did have an advantage in the SuperBowl…Your DL was simply insane during that stretch…..as Tom Brady found out…..

But NFC East coaching is mediocre I think.

Coughlin lucked out winning a SB and Reid is a QB coach.

Shanny is horrible he just had Elway.

Garrett is an offensive coordinator.

I do think they all have talent at coaching though. Garrett is what we needed. Surprised Reid is still around.

No one said Garrett was the best

But the argument is that we have the best staff in the NFC East. On experience alone, Garrett would be rated more at the bottom because we haven’t seen much from him yet so that is to be determined. However:

Rate the best DC and it is a toss up between Ryan and Perry Fewel (which I would think Ryan would take)
Rate the best Assistant Coach or WR Coach and I don’t see anyone contesting Jimmy Robinson for that
Rate the best Special Teams Coordinator, I think the league agrees that JoeD reigns the NFC East and is one of the leagues best
Best Strength and Conditioning Coach? Mr. “6 blings” Woicik has no equal or even close to one.
As offensive Coordinator, JGarrett fights for the top with the Giants OC (NFL Network had him and Garrett among league best)

Now what other team can really bolster that kind of pedigree in a coaching staff as a whole? Best HC, probably not (yet). Best Coaching Staff? No Question…

what has bob ryan done to take the best DC title?

i really think its just his name.
he’s a fine coach.
but has his team ever lead the league in turnovers or sacks?
fewell took the bills (thats right the buffalo bills) and made them into a top 5 Defense in i think it was turnovers or something.
i’d say jgarret over gilbride for OC. but thats very debatable, they did a wall street journal article on Kevin gilbrides offense. and said it was one of the most complex in the league. i just think he is very predictable on 3rd and 5 (always a draw). which is why i put garret over him.

Best Coaching Staff? No Question…

its not really a no question. its actually the most debatable ranking of any division in the league since the coaching staffs are so good

Let me tell you

I watch a lot of football news, especially NFL network. Now, when they start conversations about the best defensive coordinators in the NFL, I’ll tell you who they talk about. Every time they do that, they talk about Dick Lebeau and the Ryan’s (yes BOTH of them). From time to time they have mentioned Perry Fewell, but that is from TIME TO TIME. Lebeau and the Ryans are mentioned EVERY TIME.

I call that Dilusional, Paranoia and just plain stupidity

BSPN maybe (I can’t trust them as much as a network that covers one sport and ONLY ONE SPORT), but the mainstream guys on NFL Network (Michael Lombardi, Jason La Canfora, Steve Wyche, Fran Charles, Charles Davis, Jaime Dukes, Deion Sanders and Marshall Faulk [and more but these are the unbiased or least biased]) Will rip on any team or player in the NFL if they aren’t playing up to their level.

I won’t go into details but I can name specific times in the past couple months they have defended and stood up for certain Giants players and the organization as a whole, although they each have had their criticism of the Giants and EVERY nfl team (Except for the Packers, which drives me nuts every year because people say the best team in the league starting the season is the super bowl winner, even if they just barely made the playoffs the year before)

And a side note, it bugs the hell out of me to no end when they talk about how good a QB is BECAUSE HE WON A SUPER BOWL. Everyone knows teams win super bowls, not QBs (Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson?) and the Coaches are the ones that put those teams together and took them there. Although great coaches will do it year in and year out. But hey, this is the kind of crap you have to put up with the media as not everyone will agree.

i dont have the NFl package with cablevision.

but i have seen a lot of their clips and its my personal opinion that NFL players who never have, or never will be a coach in the league should not be an analyst.
maybe a game announcer, but not an anaylst. now, i dont know about thos guys being biased like the guys at espn, but i’d prefer a guy like gruden being an analyst as opposed to say deon sanders.

won’t go into details but I can name specific times in the past couple months they have defended and stood up for certain Giants players and the organization as a whole, although they each have had their criticism of the Giants and EVERY nfl team

you are right on that. but the coverage they get by the NFL network is slim. i dont have it, so i dont knwo the specifics, but people i know who have it get pissed that the chargers get a 5 minute segment, and the giants get like 45 seconds. but i wouldnt be a witness in any lawsuit their, so dont take my word for it.
(Except for the Packers, which drives me nuts every year because people say the best team in the league starting the season is the super bowl winner, even if they just barely made the playoffs the year before)

well personally, i do believe that the team that wins the superbowl is the best until proven otherwise. and imo, the packers are the best team in the league either way.
And a side note, it bugs the hell out of me to no end when they talk about how good a QB is BECAUSE HE WON A SUPER BOWL. Everyone knows teams win super bowls, not QBs (Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson?)
well, for some cases that can be justified. but its not every qb is the greatest because they won.
ben roethlinsburginhimerson is one of the most overrated qb’s in the league. even in the clutch he isnt the greatest. his defense always needs to have his back.
if you perform well in that superbowl and the whole playoffs in general, then you deserev. but players like ben dont.
on peytons SB run, he was amazing. drew brees, was pretty average on the playoff run, rodgers was superb. but got hurt a lot in the playoffs and reg. season.
eli manning, came off a pretty average season, and turned into his brother in the playoffs.
tom brady for his runs, was pretty great.
but if a player doesnt perform well, and still wins the superbowl. than they shoudl not be considered the greatest ever.
look at kurt warner. he didnt even win the superbowl. but just being their he came for obscurity at a back-up position to a top 3 qb in the league. which i call shenanagans on, i like kurt and all. but he wasnt in the brady-peyton discussion, well not in his later years altleast

Washburn should have been your DC

If you look at how your offensive line has performed of late, and it has vastly underperformed lately, it doesn’t exactly stir a lot of confidence in the ability of a first time DC to do a better job than McDermott.

Good players yes, but wat have you done to fix the gut of the defence? Jenkins is like a JRat kinda player. Matthews tho highly promising is still a rookie and I don’t think we’ll confuse him with Patrick Willis anytime soon. Nate Allen needs to make sure he doesn’t have a sophomore slump, and J Jarret is a rookie which makes your safety position at least a question mark as to strength.

Mudd is your new offensive line coach I assume. Havn’t heard too much about him but we will see how his work comes out.

April was your ST coach for the past couple of years if I’m correct. I’d say that him and Camillis are equal in ability, tho I do miss Coach Joe on the sidelines.

And Marty Mornhinweg has a name I’m familiar with but not a history of .

Of course to a fan of a team this will be a biased discussion

That is why I bring in the opinions of others. When I hear the best OC’s in the league, Three were mentioned at the top, Jason Garrett, Kevin Gilbride (Giants) and Bruce Arians (Steelers, although I wouldn’t say the Steelers are one of the best OFFENSES in the league, but maybe having a great OC is why they are even decent)

Yes Bobby April is up there at the top of the league in STCs. Dave Toub of the Bears and Mike Westhoff of the Jets are others mentioned. However, being able to have a great special teams unit without a returner of Desean Jackson’s caliber is a pretty big deal. Patrick Crayton NEVER was a great returner, but had back to back weeks with a Punt Return TD in Joe D’s first year here. He’s not the best in the league, but regardless he is up there.

But enough said, you guys are not getting the point. I am not saying necessarily that each on of our guys is best in the division. What I AM SAYING THOUGH is that if they aren’t at the top then pretty much every one of our big guys is at least top two in the division. No other team can boast that for EACH of their coaches on staff.

Unqualified maybe

But he is a hard worker, and living in South America for a couple years and knowing Mexicans here like I do, I know not to underestimate him. There are two ways to reach excellence/greatness:

1. Natural ability and talent to the point where it just comes easy to you
2. Hard Work and Dedication to the point you make up for your lack of natural ability by developing it

We’ll see how he does, but I would expect that is the reason for getting so much talent stacked up on the defense this year…

disagree. i'd rank you at a very close 3rd.
While Perry Fewell is a solid DC, he is not Spags and this D has simply never been the same since he moved on.

um led the league in turnovers last year. (and always near the top in sacks.)
head coaches i’d rank:
1. Coughlin- won a superbowl. and always near the top
2. reid- great at developing qb’s. and a very good regular season coach. but never able to bring it together when it matters.
3. garret- i dont know how you could rank him at the top. i think he has great pottential to be great. but its like me saying sam bradford is an elite qb. lets wait till he does something
4. shannahan- ewww the redskins. their like a germ.
DC:
1. Fewell- runs one of the better defenses in the league and their gonna look better this year with another year to learn the system.
2. Ryan- tho i hate him and his family. he still runs a very good defense. but maybe a little less talk and a little more walk would work.
3. castillo- only reason he gets this rank is because i have absolutley no idea who the redskins dc is, and how long he will be their.
ST:
eagles coach.
cowboys coach
redskins coach

It's not a loyalty thing at all

But when a Coach wins a super bowl and then goes 8-8 two seasons later with the same players and also either hasn’t made it to the playoffs or won a playoff game since, I can’t put him amongst the top coaches in the league. I have to agree with the majority that Spags was the biggest reason for that Super Bowl Win (and doing a great job rebuilding those Rams right now might I add.)

and this team has very good chemistry. which is a coaches job. to keep the chemistry good.
and i wouldnt put coughlin in the top 5 of coaches maybe. but he’s deffinitley right their in the top 10

+1

Can’t argue with you there. That is my biggest issue when talking about QBs and how good they are is because they won a super bowl. BUNCH OF BS, TEAMS WIN!!!! Chemistry is Key. Also agreed that Coughlin is probalby top 10 (closer to 10) because only (and I might be off on some of these) Tomlin, Belichek, Coughlin, Del Rio, McCarthy, Turner, Lewis, Reid, Lovie Smith, and Payton have had their jobs for 5+ season counting this one. That’s only 10 coaches that haven’t been fired, 7 of which I would place in the top 10 coaches in the league (and I have three I would stick in there instead of them).

There are always new players but the core remained the same pretty much throughout those following years.

agree with most of that list.

and coughlin alone, is probably closer to 10 than 5. your right.
but what they do well is put some of the better cooridinators in the league around him. its something the giants have always done. first it was lombardi, with tom landry as a cooridinator (i believe).
then it was parcells, with bellicheck as a cooridinator.
now its coughlin, with fewell and gilbride (fewell more so than kevin). which used to have spags. and every1 knows how good e was of coaching a team up.
they also have some pretty solid assistants. the offensive line coach flaherity i believe his name is. worked with an offensive line last year that saw 3 of its starters go down, and gave up the least sacks in the league (which also has a lot to do with eli’s ability to escape pressure).
winning a superbowl is the hardest championship to win in any sport besides maybe hockey, but thats very debatable.
its not about every thing being perfect or whatever (as the pats showed us)
its more about gaining that team chemistry, trusting in your players and coaches, and not making stupid left handed throws on the goal line which turn into interceptions.(little bit of a rant their. but cmon eli).
the reason why the giants hae good chemistry, is because everyone on the team wants to be their (yes even osi) and they get rid of anyone who doesnt (shockey, burress, etc.). the main reason that osi isnt gone (besides the lack of interest in giving up a one) is because he has great chemistry with this dline, and without players like tuck and kiwi, and JPP covering his mistakes, he wouldnt be as good as he is.
the same thing with the packers. probably the perfect town to win a championship in, since most of the fans are literally invested in the team.
they had one of the more injured teams last year. but their depth and will to win is what got them the superbowl.
like lombardi said, which by the way is the most misquoted quote of all time. he actually said “winning isnt everything, It’s the will to win thats everything” or something close to that

a lot of players don’t like Coughlin on that team and if things get bad, I could see a implosion of epic proportions taking place there this year

I was thinking somewhat the same

I just went back and watched the Cowboys vs. Giants highlights from week 10 last year just because I missed seeing football. I didn’t think it was funny, because I know how it feels to have your teams coach look like that. However, Coughlin AND Fewell had the Wade Phillips face that game. Every Cowboys fan knows the look and most other fans as well. Clueless, Whiny, Baffled and Surprised all rolled into one.

Not a good sign when your coach gets those kind of looks. What you want is a look of confidence, or what I call the Sheriff’s stare. Bill Belichek and Mike Tomlin are the only coaches I’ve seen with this look and Jason Garrett seems to have this too. And when I say have it, I mean ALL THE TIME. Of course they’ll crack a smile with a good play and stuff, but when something goes wrong, the look and confidence stays.

and if they did do that. it be the first time they ever had.
fewell is a very firey coach. very esstatic, like he’s on cocaine sometimes (well atleast in practice he is).
and coughlin is an angry fellow, if he’s shrugging, its cause he is calming down because his blood pressure raises to wuickly, haha.
please dont compare two of the more premier coaches in this league, to the defensive cooridinator who should be up in the booth and not in the field.
tom and perry are nothing like wade. maybe gilbide, but offensive cooridinators arent usually that firey (sparring garret).

well, the giants always botch the pre-season games against bad teams.

the only time they bring it are against games with a lot of attention in the pre-season.
and to be fair, this team is much mre talented all-around and better coached than the dallas team you speak of last year.
i can see how you guys think that what happened to you is gonna happen to us.
but that sorta thing doesnt happen to the giants. they are one of the better managed teams in football.
this team is built for a run barring injuries.
their is a very good chance we start the season 8-0 looking at the schedule. and the only game that really scares me is the packers and saints games. we’ve always had the pats Number. and the jets, well they dont play well against us. we either split or sweep the eagles, and split or sweep you guys (im leaning towards split, but we deffinitley win the game in dallas). and the redskins D is looking pretty good, so we could probaly split them if things go wrong.
but i say this team can go 12-4, with 10-6 the absolute worst.
and you can call me a homer, but its how i see it.
as for the cowboys. i have them at 8-8 the worst, and 10-6 the best.
eagles 10-6 the worst, 13-3 the best.
redskins, 0-16 the worst, 7-9 the best.
i think a lot of people are underrating the redskins for the first time ever.
the only thing that is holding them back is their piss poor offense. they added some nice peices to a good defense.

Tomlin and Belichek

These are the two best coaches in the NFL right now, and no one even comes close to them I think. Great coaches are responsible for championships, as much as we like to credit the players. Although I do say that I see a lot of Tomlin and Belichek traits in JGarrett.

On a side note though, Tomlin has a lot of help from Dick Lebeau. I don’t think he is winning like he is without the innovative and genius defensive mind of Dick Lebeau, who invented the most recent defensive system/play. He invented the Zone Blitz, which NFL Network on their “Top 10 Innovations” show rated number 1 overall.

Obviously

the reference was that I see traits from them in Jason Garrett’s style of coaching. They (More Belichek) are the coaches that you compare your coach to and see if he has what it takes.

Honestly what other coach, besides those two, could you put in Jason Garrett’s shoes and have people saying “There is a New Sheriff in town”. Jason Garrett may not have done anything yet, but he certainly has that attitude. Tomlin and Belichek also have that old west “Sheriff” kind of attitude to lay down the law. Just look at these 3 guys standing on the sideline and play the music from THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY and tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about. Try that with any other coach in the league and see how it feels… Not quite there.

by HudBaby on Aug 15, 2011 4:58 PM CDT up reply actions  

I won't argue that Lebeau covers his arse most of the time

But he does get his players to play for him and holds them accountable and a no nonsense coach. I’ve heard talk that Lebeau is toying with retirement. No one knows how soon but it has entered his mind. Curious to see how good the Steelers are without Lebeau whenever he does leave.

Although one difference between him and the other three coaches mentioned is he does not keep his players in check off the field. Twitter is a chirpin’ and insults are flyin’.

Watch Rob Ryan’s latest interviews on DC.com and it seems like he has toned it back a bit (and I emphasize JUST A BIT). JGarrett probably had a talk with him doing that with the team, but be a little cautious with what you say to the media. Could be, might not be. Same confident Ryan, just talking more about the team now. Just my perspective anyway.

Shanny hasn't done squat without Elway

and as far as the best DT in football being Haynesworth? What are you smoking and where can i get some.

Aside from the last year of his contract what did Albert do to earn that title? Was never healthy a whole season. Bad attitude on the field (stomp on the face ring a bell).

 Jay Ratliff put up better stats than Haynesworth and was a 7th round pick who earned his spot, didn’t have anything given to him. So again I ask you how did Fat Albert get that title?

by TruBluToTheCore on Aug 15, 2011 2:08 AM CDT reply actions  

I'm not going to argue for Haynesworth...

but he was regarded as the marquee FA signing that year – and was signed for a boat-load of cash. To then shift to a system that didn’t utilise his talent just seemed arrogant to me.

Even Parcells had the flexibility to let the 4-3 run for a season , and it got them into the playoffs.

Shanahan is an offensive guy, Williams systems had been working, why change it?

"Where's Woody? - We need another Darren Woodson

by BoyfromOz on Aug 15, 2011 3:58 AM CDT up reply actions  

If Albert played as well as he said he did then he would have had a huge impact in whatever system he was lined up in.

Playing as a penetrating DE in a 3-4. One gap style, but he didn’t want to do anything other than rush the QB. No teamwork whatsoever. As far as Parcells running the 4-3 for a year think about this year. He needed to see the personnel in action and see what needed to be fixed. In hindsight I think he mentioned that he wished he had changed to a 3-4 sooner as the defense was misleading that first year which kept him from implementing the change earlier.

As far as switching to a 3-4 in Washington, who knows what they are thinking. Other than the 3-4 is the vogue thing right now. Can’t argue with Orakpo and his potential as a Ware type rusher. He has a nice first step on him. Wonder what Washington would take in trade for him…..lol

Jimmy Robinson

Robinson’s move from Green Bay to Dallas was not a lateral move. He is actually the Assistant Head Coach/Wide Receivers Coach.. He will be calling the passing game on game days for Dallas. At some point in the future the plan is for Garrett to turn over the Offensive Coordinator reigns to Robinson . This was not an opportunity he had in Green Bay.

This is new news to me

I wasn’t aware of this. Last I checked John Garrett was our Passing Game Coordinator (and TE Coach) and Hudson Houck is our Running Game Coordinator (and O-Line Coach). I know he is the Assistant HC/WR Coach but game day passing game playcaller I did not know. Might need a link for this one…

This what I have been told by staff

John will be in the booth during games and Garrett wants to start grooming Robinson for the OC spot down the road. You do not carry the title of Assistant HC without having a whole lot more responsibility than just being a position coach. This was the reason that Robinson left GB to come to Dallas.

Agree - I thought it was a gimmick used to allow Coaches to make parallel moves

…in the guise of a promotion.

On the other hand, I would be happy for JG to offload some of his Offensive responsiblities (maybe not play-calling), to focus on leading the team as a whole.

With you there

Never been a fan of coaches that are also the OC or DC. Too many hats to wear. Try to put two hats on and jump around and see if the second doesn’t fall off… Although this is exactly why I believe he established a passing game coordinator and running game coordinator to handle that very thing. He calls the plays, but those guys take care of all of the other stuff that an OC normally would do.
