Terrell Owens Calls Out Jason Garrett

Things continue to get worse for the Dallas Cowboys. In today’s Dallas Cowboys season preview we agree with Owens. Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens is not happy. Let’s not forget the that antics prevented Owens from being selected as a first ballot hall of famer. Can’t figure out why Jerry Jones hasn’t fired head coach Jason Garrett.  Garrett only has two playoff appearances in his eight seasons as the team’s coach.

“When you really look at it, it doesn’t make sense for Jason Garrett to have his job,” Owens said. “[The Cowboys are] not really expanding or progressing even as a team under his coaching tenure there.”

Owens has a valid point. Garrett is the second-longest-tenured coach in team history. This is behind Tom Landry, has a 68-55 record since becoming the head coach. Garrett was handed a playoff ready team and only had two appearances which is not impressive.

The fact that more successful coaches like Jimmy Johnson, who led the team to two Super Bowls, and Bill Parcells.  They ended the team’s post Big Three playoff drought, were fired.  In spite of leading Dallas to more success than Garrett has, makes it even more surprising that he still has his job.

One of the reasons Garrett hasn’t been able to advance far in the playoffs is the fact that he blames the players when things go wrong.

“At the end of the day, how can you keep allowing the players to be the scapegoat for what’s not happening” Owens said. “They’re supposed to direct and lead the team to where it hasn’t gotten in a number of years, and they’ve pretty much been in a standstill under coach Jason Garrett.

“… It all boils down to players being the scapegoat for his inability to lead the team as he should. For me, it’s mind-boggling. I don’t understand. And I think Jerry — again, he’s the owner at the end of the day, he has to feel good with himself about the decisions — but I just don’t understand why this guy [Garrett] still has a job.”
