Terrell Owens rips Cowboys coach Jason Garrett during wild Twitter tirade
T.O. definitely isn't a fan of the Cowboys head coach
If Terrell Owens ran the Cowboys' front office, it's safe to say that Jason Garrett definitely wouldn't be the head coach in Dallas right now.
In less than two weeks, Owens could be voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but before that happens, it sounds like there's a few things he wants to get off his chest, and most of it revolves around the fact that he doesn't think Garrett is a good coach.
Owens started talking about Garrett on Friday after someone asked him where Andy Reid ranked on his list of coaches that he played for. Believe it or not, Reid actually ranks No. 1.
BEST Head Coach I played for https://t.co/HPyzLMRlgZ

After Owens answered that question, someone wanted to know what the former Cowboys receiver thought about Garrett as a coach. Although Garrett was never the Cowboys' head coach while T.O. was in Dallas, he was the offensive coordinator during two of Owens' seasons (2007-08).
According to Owens, Garrett undermined both him and Wade Phillips so he could get the head coaching job in Dallas.
Who??! Jason Garrett!! 😂😂😂 U gotta be kidding me. 😂🤣 He was part of getting rid of me & Wade Phillips to get the head coaching job thinking that was the answer. And here we r 8 years later...🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ https://t.co/xtDcTkU0Qr

Owens then went into detail on what allegedly makes Garrett a bad coach. According to Owens, Garrett doesn't know how to make adjustments.
Same issue I had with Garrett when he felt I threw him under the bus after we went 13-3 the year before & we needed to change our plays, teams game planned Dak after his 1st year but Garrett doesn’t know how to make adjustments. Can’t keep running same plays over & over & over https://t.co/GiByXY2tmZ

Owens then used Dak Prescott as an example of Garrett's inability to make adjustments.
The way Owens sees it, Prescott was successful in 2016 because people were unfamiliar with him. In 2017, Owens says that Garrett tried to run the same exact offense even though teams had adjusted to Prescott by his second season in the league.
Dak is good QB & with the players that he has on that team they underachieved. The coaches have to put the players in the best positions to succeed...meaning game planning, game adjustments, personnel adjustments. U can’t keep running the same obvious plays in the same formations https://t.co/Hc6UueFrhP

Owens also said that it doesn't matter if Garrett doesn't call the plays during a game, because, in the end, whatever's being called is his responsibility.
But he’s the head coach & sees what’s going on with HIS team. He hired the OC didn’t he? https://t.co/kuLOUZkZCj

Of course, the only opinion that matters in Dallas is the one that belongs to Jerry Jones, and he has already assured everyone that Garrett will be returning in 2018.
Anyway, if it makes Garrett feel any better, he's not the worst coach that Owens has ever played for. That honor belongs to former 49ers coach Steve Mariucci, according to the receiver. Here was Owens' answer when he was asked to give his thoughts on Mooch.
ABSOLUTE WORST. https://t.co/ZfKkhmXVMl

Owens spent eight seasons (1996-2003) in San Francisco and Mariucci was the coach for six of those. Owens played 15 seasons in the NFL five different teams. As a Hall of Fame finalist this year, Owens will find out on Feb. 3 if he's been inducted into the Pro Football of Fame.
