From the article:
One of the biggest pet peeves most have with Garrett is his inability to make adjustments and/or coach his players out of bad situations. The Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons games come to mind when thinking of examples of his inability to adjust. In both of those games the Cowboys offensive game plan was consistent with years past. Run the football, set up play-action, and take what’s given to you. The only problem was none of those things were working, and thanks to All or Nothing, we know Jason Garrett had no interest in changing said game plan. That ended with Ezekiel Elliott only gaining eight-yards on nine-carries against Denver’s dominant run-defense, and Adrian Clayborn just about setting the single-game sack record with six sacks on Cowboys’ quarterback Dak Presscott. The most disappointing takeaway from those games is Dallas never even reached any kind of adjustment that might have given them a chance.
And that’s where we look at the coordinators, Scott Linehan and Rod Marinelli. Both guys are back as coordinators for the Cowboys offense and defense in 2018, and you should expect to see similar game plans from both guys that we have come accustomed to seeing. While both Scott Linehan and Rod Marinelli have total control over the play-calling of both the offense and defense, Jason Garrett has just as much power and say-so in what goes on, what plays are called, and what adjustments need to be made. With a ton of fresh blood coming in as assistants, we’ll have to wait and see how much impact Kris Richard, Sanjay Lal, and Paul Alexander have on their respected sides of the football.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget how long Jason Garrett has been the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys due to all the drama, wasted seasons due to injury, and the few good runs we saw in 2014 and 2016. But if this 2018 season ends on a similar note that it ended on last year, expect a new head coach in 2019. Whether he wants to admit it or not, Jerry Jones is starting to get restless, expect him to make the tough decision if things do not improve this upcoming season.
