Blind, bombastic confidence in one's opinions is fashionable these days. Might have something to do with that interwebs thing.....

Really, opinions are all we have at this point.

Garrett move or not - and it very well may be - it isn't playing that way right now.

After all the changes to the staff are complete, we'll get a clearer picture.

We're just over-Jerry'd around here to think otherwise.

It doesn't really matter how it is "playing".

What matters is the truth.

Some time down the road we will get the true story. Until that time all we have are opinions and it is magical how people are so sure their opinions are the right one in this matter and any one who does not agree is something similar to an ostrich with it's head in the sand or agenda driven.

I have yet to see any facts that convince me one way or the other of who's hire it was.

My GUESS and OPINION is that it could be a hire that BOTH agreed upon...and that could be good or bad for Jason depending on how it went down...IF it went down that way.

If this is a Garrett move its even worse because that tells me Jason is closer to staying rather than going . I want him gone he is not a good coach .

Your reasoning is that since Larry Lacewell loves Kiffin, that there simply cannot be anyway that Garrett and Lacewell could like the same person as a D-Coordinator.

I don't really care if it was a Garrett or Jerry move. I'm even nonplussed on the move to begin with. But people having concluded that it must be a Jerry move to me says a lot about their blind hatred for Jerry as they are basing it on no evidence other than Larry Lacewell loves Kiffin.

Garrett was with the Bucs when Kiffin was their D-Coodinator.

I think it's obvious that Garrett didn't have the greatest relationship with Rob Ryan.

Jerry has repeatedly wanted the defense to stay in a 3-4.

Jerry was set to go after Lovie Smith after Parcells retired, but the Bears retained Smith.

If Jerry hired Smith, he would have had a head coach to replace Garrett if the team played poorly in 2013.

It's been pretty well known that Garrett has complex about dissention within his coaching staff as they fired Ray Sherman and Skip Peete. Kiffin presents no thread to Garrett as a head coach.

It's not exactly concrete proof, but it's more to go on than Lacewell, a guy who has always preferred a 4-3 faster player scheme who goes back to the Jimmy days where the organization instituted a fast, smaller player 4-3 scheme, just happens to like Kiffin who is probably the best 4-3 D-Coordinator in the past 15 years.

I don't like Lacewell as much as the next person, but I would expect him to love the hire because he's a 4-3 guy. I think he would have loved hiring Lovie Smith or just going back to the 4-3 full time, period.

Rob Ryan was a 'Garrett hire' too.
Dave Shula was Jimmy hire that did not last long either. At that point it was not like we had a ton of talent on offense and just got rid of Walker so he had even less than he started with. He got fire and the next man up Norv was able to come in and do the job and had more talent to work with.

Kind of what I was thinking. Also, you know, the fact Red has never taken accountability for his mistakes. Super-arrogant.

Not what I said, in fact they both could like him and I´m sure they do, look at my post, I never said Garrett was opposed to this or wasn´t involved, I just said that this move like most moves start and end with Jerry, I just mentioned Lacewell because we all know his relationship with Jerry and his thoughts on Kiffin.
