Default JG will decide his future

Most of you may not agree, but I don't think Jerry has the heart to out right fire JG. So he will give him an ultimative. Either drop play calling duties or else.

And how do you know it wasn't Jerry who wanted JG to handle play calling and OC while being HC?

He absolutely does

Quote:
Jerry Jones demands his head coach call either the plays on offense or the defensive signals because the owner believes his Dallas Cowboys need tangible evidence the coach helps them win.

You can blame former Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs for giving Jerry that bad advice.

Its not changing next year if JG is still here.

Actually, I think Jason continuing to call the plays was Jerry's idea to begin with. He had Wade Phillips do the same thing, only on defense. I could be wrong, but I believe this is the issue with having a man wear both the owner hat and the GM hat. Jerry saves money by not putting another coach on the pay role. That clearly appeals to the owner in him. And I think his GM is afraid to say anything for fear of being fired.

I think that JG pretty much decided his future on Thanksgiving.

Jerry will always designate one of his coordinators as the HC, because there is only one walk around coach in Dallas, and that is Jerry.

There will be injuries every season in the NFL. That should never be an excuse, but you are probably right, JJ might use that excuse. He might even use that same excuse for Garrett next year, and the next, and so on
Everyone has a plan, until they get hit.

He has 5 games to save his job, if they continue to put that God awful product on the field I don't see how he can still remain as HC.

Jerry forced Wade to actually to become DC, at the expense of tutoring Brian Stewart, while remaining HC. Remember, Wade was hired to fix a defense, not an 'ailing offense', because there was none.

Plus, he's paying the guy like 5 million dollars of year, meaning if JG can't call plays, while being in the top echelon of coaches as regards to salary, then how is he earning that paycheck?

Jerry gambled big time on this one and lost....

JG was gonna get 3 full years no matter how bad this year went. When we suck a year from now then we can talk about new coaches.

Injuries don't explain the roller coaster ride, game in and game out, that has characterized this season (and last)...

I've always suspected that Joe Gibbs advice story was really more about money. Jerry knows better than anyone that his best success came with a walk-around head coach.
