Per Ed Werner - Garrett wanted Linehan gone last year

[Wood]

Last off-season Jason Garrett attempted to move on from Linehan and Jerry not only denied that request but increased Linehan responsibility & power. Also, Garrett was more involved with play calling duties late in year and if Dallas doesn't get OC they want....Garrett will call plays in 2019.

Nothing said there makes any sense at all.

 

[ThreeandOut]

It never made sense to me how Linehan's power increased when he was on the hot seat last year.

Dysfunction has found its home.

It’s The Star.

 

[acr731]

So what? Most of us here wanted Garrett gone in 2010. And we're still waiting.

 

[Sydla]

Nothing said there makes any sense at all.

Yes it does.

It’s clear Jerry calls the shots on assistants so an assistant getting more or less power isn’t Garrett’s decision. It’s Jerry’s.

So it’s totallt plausible Garrett wanted Linehan gone last year but Jerry blocked him.

 

[mrmojo]

And some people still think JG has some sort of authority.

 

[kevm3]

I doubt that. If that was the case why did Garrett say Linehan was coming back?

 

[JJHLH1]

This is going to be an interesting offseason.

 

[Wood]

It never made sense to me how Linehan's power increased when he was on the hot seat last year.

at very least it appears there was gamesmanship going on between Jerry & Jason. Maybe Jerry was trying to light fire under Jason or put him on notice by giving impression that Linehan could replace him as HC.

 

[CATCH17]

What a mess.

There is nobody in that building that is capable of fixing this offense.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Yes it does.

It’s clear Jerry calls the shots on assistants so an assistant getting more or less power isn’t Garrett’s decision. It’s Jerry’s.

So it’s totallt plausible Garrett wanted Linehan gone last year but Jerry blocked him.

Garrett already said that Linehan was going nowhere. If Garrett wanted him gone, he NEVER says that. Linehan is a Garrett guy all the way through. The ONLY part that may have made any sense is that Garrett may have wanted play calling back. We already know he got kicked to the curb on that and has probably wanted it back ever since.

 

[CF74]

Jerry gave Lineham one last chance and he wasn’t happy with the results...

 

[3rd_n_inches]

This is just smoke to create dysfunction or rather the image of dysfunction

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I doubt that. If that was the case why did Garrett say Linehan was coming back?

Because he thought he was. He wanted him gone last year and it didn’t happen. He probably thought the same would happen this year.

Garret's gonna show those X & O's and adjustment skills. 90's football in almost 2020.

Guess next year is Garrett and Daks prove if you want the contract or we're re-organizing.

2020 has a loaded draft class at QB.

Hang in 1 more year loyal folks because there's no choice.

 

[Direwolf63]

Last year: Jason wanted Linehan gone but Jerry overrode Jason. Jerry gived Scott more powers.
This year: Jason annouces Linehan is staying but Jerry overrode Jason again. During the year, Jeery transfers powers away from Scott to Jason.

Cue the circus clown music

This is the only thing that puzzles me. Linehan is a Garrett guy. From what I’ve read they were friends. So he wanted him fired last year and it actually happens this year? I don’t know....

2020 is considered “loaded”?
