I truly don't really remember how Dallas was when he was calling plays. I think their offense was ok? Good at times? I remember Demarco Murray got a million carries that one year. And he did a good job developing Dak, whatever role he played there. Tons of Cowboys fans that can speak on it better than I can. From what I’ve seen, I don’t think Garrett is a coach that gets his players to play at a higher level than they’re capable of, like McDermott is doing in Buffalo. Stuff like that probably gets mitigated as an OC. Never viewed the guy as anything special regarding his play calling, though. He wasn’t the guy making the calls for a while but he’s always had a big hand in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeast23 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Conservative as they come no doubt. Very pass heavy offense that became extremely predictable quickly. I don’t believe he’s ever called an offense that ranked near the top half of the league in rushing attempts either. I don’t at all believe he can’t get players to play beyond expectations though as posted above. The players respect him and truly love him so they’ll play hard for him. Its been so so long that his philosophy might have changed as Dallas has had the most success when effectively running the football. I think it would be a solid hire though for the Giants. At that time there was a reason people wanted to interview him for there HC vacancies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Buzz Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Some big rumblings that if he doesn't get it he's coming to JAX to be OC and Kitna's tagging along as QB Coach. Was pretty much done but NYG wanted to interview and he wants to see what their situation would look like.

Matts4313 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I pretty much vehemently disagree with everyone in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4L Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 they are simply gathering information on dallas and the rest of the division. He has intimate knowledge of all 4 teams in the nfc least, including the giants. Part of being a new coach on a new team is self scouting. Good to hear what a former rival had to say about your organization. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmen Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I would’ve been okay with him as HC. Getting him for OC would have me clapping.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minutemancl Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 FF alum Albright seems certain that Garrett is going to be the Giants new OC, as does Yahoo's Charles Robinson, who would be 'shocked' if he wasn't hired. Albright also says former OC Mike Shula will head to Denver to be the new QB coach under Shurmur. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teen Girl Squad Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 The MO on Garrett's offense (and his HC) is that he's a very traditional, execution heavy coach. So his teams tend to be fundamentally sound ones. The problem is that he relies on those fundamentals and talent to consistently win matchups and doesn't do anything schematically to put his players in a situation to succeed. They never out perform their talent level. So if the players are getting defended well schematically, or just can't win their matchups, it often grinds to a halt. In this way, I actually think he's a better HC than coordinator candidate. I wouldn't love this hire from the Giants' perspective outside of maybe playing the Wade role and helping a young HC get his legs but I don't think he has the schematic chops to cut it with the innovative offenses spreading through the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom cody Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Figured Garrett would get hired by a team soon enough. Will be interesting to see how he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeMarco Murray was a beast that was fed the football a lot. Same with Zeke. Heck, even the ghost of Darren McFadden had 1,000 yards rushing for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly and many think it wasn't JG's decision to go to a more run dominated offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other part would find it beyond poetic if he took Danny Pesos and the Giants to a SB title before McCarthy does with the Girls! Here's a tree falling in the woods question for you, though. If Jason Garrett is clapping up in the booth and there's no one on the sideline to hear him, does it matter? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if the giants hire this man you might as well write bust on Jones's jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
