Cowboys hot topic: Blaming the coaches for the Panthers loss

It was time to get out the pitchforks and torches after the Dallas Cowboys lost the season opener to the Carolina Panthers. And for most of the unruly mob, the primary targets of their ire were head coach Jason Garrett and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan. Rod Marinelli’s defense played well, at least well enough that the game was winnable with even a moderately competent offensive effort throughout.
