2006: Joey Harrington - 57.5% completions = 22th in the league and a QB rating of 68.2. Joey Harrington? He has a career QB rating of 68.1. Not much to work with here, I think. As for as Frerotte, he has played for 13 seasons with a rating of 75.3. Granted, 71.9 is lower, but if Frerotte were Mr. Consistency, he wouldn't have played for 7 different teams in this time. Don't you think blaming Garret for these two is a little unreasonable? Give him some talent to work with and I think he'll be fine. That said, will he be a good head? A bad one? No-one knows. Myself, I think he'll be fine, but there is still the TO factor to think about. I mean look how well that went with both Reed and Parcells, and there's no debating whether or not they're good coaches.
Well, I don't know about Cowher. But, Jeff Fisher, Lovie Smith, and Marty Schottenheimer will also be available if their current teams don't lock them up with an extension. Please, please, please never mention Marty Schottenheimer.....the Jones Boys may pick up on it and it would become reality. I would then have to slit my throat to stop the puking!!
It is Cowher not Cower, ok? The Titans have told the Cowboys "No way!" as far as Jeff Fisher is concerned. They just gave him a contract extension.
I still thing he could save a lot of money and spare an experienced coach a lot of hassle by just making TO coach.
They just gave him a contract extension. The Titans exercised their 2007 option for Fisher. They still haven't reached an agreement on a long-term contract.
I still thing he could save a lot of money... Bah. He could make money. Make TO head coach and ESPN would cast "TO on TO" tomorrow. He could host a summer reality show to select a new PR person, new cheerleaders, and new offensive and defensive coordinators, all in one show! He'd have the first head coach's radio show that people actually tuned into. And he could sell not just TO jerseys, but TO motorola headsets! Branding, people, branding...
tieguy, that is exactly the sort of corporate synergy we need more of in the NFL.
I couldn't care less about the Cowboys, but the fact that Jerry is seemingly looking to sign an OC before addressing the head coaching issue speaks volumes. My thoughts exactly. No big-name coach with prospects elsewhere would come to Dallas and work with a newly hired offensive coordinator who wasn't his own guy. This move means the Parcells experiment is over and we're back to has-beens (Switzer), never-weres (Gailey) and current employees (Campo). The 11-year streak without a Cowboys playoff victory is in no danger.
Well, I don't know about Cowher. But, Jeff Fisher, Lovie Smith, and Marty Schottenheimer will also be available if their current teams don't lock them up with an extension I think Marty would rather stay in San Diego than go to Dallas.
Upon further review, you are right, bperk. That is what I get for reading too fast! thanks for the correction.
