Which coincidentally happened right after Jerry gave his famous "there will be changes and people will be uncomfortable" radio interview?
What about Jason's brother suddenly being sent packing?
What about Troy Aikman, one of Garrett's best friends, saying he was surprised at the moves and didn't think the outgoing coaches were the problem?
[View Full Quote]What about Kiffin's reply when asked who first contacted him that it was Jerry and Stephen... Before claiming a few sentences later that Jason called him, too?
I could even mention Werder's very definitive claim that he called around after Garrett's PC and confirmed that these changes were all Jerry. But I know most will claim Werder is just being the eeeevil media who hates Garrett.  What they probably don't realize is that Werder was a raving Garrett fan a couple of years go. (To his credit, he's moderated that a lot the last year and a half or so as the evidence doesn't support Garrett being a very good coach. Most, like many in this thread, are so dug in on their opinions they refuse to acknowledge such evidence.)
Again, some people (not saying you) are arguing with me just because they know I don't like Garrett the way they do. In this particular case, I don't see what that has to do with anything. If one impartially looks at the timeline, it's pretty clear to me these moves weren't all Garrett. I'm glad Jerry made them, because we needed a change. |
There is a precise recount and then there is CL's 'recollection.'
I am arguing with you because you present a horrible case for your position. It's hilarious, you bring up something that was said before and characterize it. Bluestang follows up with a January Garrett interview that paints the opposite.
Precision vs the CL way. Accuracy vs regurgitating the DFW radio narrative.
