D-Unit, I think I'm with you now on JG. I've defended him quite a bit. Now, I'm not putting this all on him because the players have to execute, but on those 4 goal line plays, you have to at least mix it up on one of those.
But really, JG is not the big issue here. Teams take on the personality of their leader. Wade is passive and complacent and this team is passive and complacent. They have no killer instinct and as Romo said, they have no attention to detail. That's coaching.
D, it's time to start a new coach thread!

i'm guessing Folk gets benched for Bueler this week.
who is going to start in place of Ware this week? Carp?

Wade just said they'll test out Bueler this week. Probably a week too late though:(
I'm guessing Victor Butler will start in place of Ware. Let's see if this rookie can play. Definitely has big shoes to fill.

One thing that needs to happen next year is that Ogletree needs to take over for Crayton.
Crayton is steady, but we need more speed on the field.

Yeah well it was the 4th down call I had issues with. The rest is fine. Give props to the Chargers for stopping you. Barber was close couple times.

Barber usually flies over the pile. Where was that call?

I just think JG will get the job. It would allow us to keep a lot of the same guys on our coaching staff in place. He isn't one of the big guys on the market but all of those guys want GM say it seems. Hell I'm not even sure what I'll feel if I'm right. But the fit is there a change will be made and the best case scenario is getting 2 vets to coordinate the game. I'm just not sure if that will happen I have a feeling we could see another Garrett at OC maybe.

Hindsight being 20/20 watching T-New decline so fast really makes me wish Jerry had listened to Bill and drafted Kevin Williams who is a little younger and still playing at a very high level. Oh well Terence was very solid until this season.

Looking back I would have loved to have Singletary in here. He is the Anti-Wade. With Jerry running things we won't have a coach with heart until he is gone for good.

If that happens, then we just prolong our losing and watch the players in their prime not win.

Don't remind me. I lead that bandwagon.
I'm favoring Dom Capers myself right now. I think he could take us to the next level.

I know it's late but, did Steve Young compare Aikman to Alex Smith, Frank Gore to Emmitt Smith, and Michael Crabtree to Michael Irvin?
edit
and Vernon Davis to Jay Novacek?

I can't remember where I stood and I'm afraid to look, but Singletary simply seems like the a no BS kinda guy. Also, there's got to be an advantage to having a coach who players will instinctively trust because they all know who the '85 Bears were. Singletary is new to the coaching ranks, but he's already a legend no matter what happens to his career now. So even without the coaching experience, he's got the resume. Given the results, it does seem obvious. Turner would even seem an upgrade...
Everything bad is somehow Jason Garrett's fault.

My wife could be wearing Granny panties tonight, it would be Jason Garrett's fault! LOL.
Seriously cannot put up with him any longer... but I know I have to.
I thought we had a chance when Jerry interviewed Singletary. I was really really hoping. Started a Singletary for Dallas HC sig petition for kicks! It was hilarious. Jerry passed up on character and instead chose experience. Such a weak argument. Mike would've been perfect. His 3-4 Defense has been working just fine in San Fran with way less talent. Seriously though... I think it came down to Jason Garrett and Garrett being more easily acceptable to coaching under an experienced HC in Wade than an inexperience HC in Singletary.

Also, I used the word 'success', and what I meant to say was 'relative success' or 'improvement'.

Jason Garrett for HC. I see it as a win/win if we can pull in a veteran OC/DC. Which I'm sure won't be easy with Jerry at the helm, but I don't see the whole Garrett is the reason for our failures like everyone else does. I have a huge feeling if he's fired he'll leave and become the next Sparano/Payton.

The owner and general manager should never be the same person. I'm not aware of any other team that has this set up.

I like Capers, cowher, shanny has some pros and cons... If Del Rio is fired, I like him...

I'm not too keen on Capers. I think Cowher is overrated. Shanny I think would be a solid hire. Del Rio is an interesting name.

Garrett has done nothing the past 2 years to prove he should, or could be a good HC for us. Last week he called a good game IMO, but HC is a whole new ball game that I don't think he's ready for. If we don't make some major coaching changes it'll be the same thing every year. There are too many teams with better records, or playing better with less talent.
Sad that we are wasting a great year by Romo in which I think he could do some damage in the playoffs and we'll likely not even make it.
I like Shanny the most right now, he'd do wonders for Romo.
