No.
He was handed five leads in the fourth qtr last year and blew them all.
He and everyone else blamed it on Newman. Newman took the fall.
Mike Zimmer made the playoffs with Newman out there.
He had a chance.
:WTF
First off, Zimmer hasn't been here since '06, so you're living in the past. Newman got old and was smoked multiple times. They put him on WR4s at times and he still got owned. That's not coaching.
Second, your revisionist history is cute, but inaccurate. Garrett had huge playcalling errors in all the games you mention. Example: you don't punt to Tom Brady with 2+ mins and then get all surprised when he scores on you. Come on.
Thirdly, why talk about last season anyway? This season, we had an offense that scored 10+ points in the first half ONCE, and we were still in every game but 1-2 this season. The D was picking up lots of the slack. Dallas has an HC problem first and foremost, followed by a playcalling problem on offense. Rob wasn't the second coming of Landry or Lebeau, but he was certainly a scapegoat nonetheless.
