What more confusing? Word Linehan was behind Dez's release or Dez saying he was released coz he wasn't one of Garrett guys?
Landrys 70s system was very innovative, I wish we could go back to that.Whomever comes in is going to be running Garrett's version of the same old antiquated passing system from the 70's!
Unless Garrett already tried to get rid of him last year and was denied and assumed Jerry's reasons for keeping him still stood (e.g. Not messing with Dak with a new system).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.
Dysfunction has found its home.
It’s The Star.
Proof that Jerry is an idiot.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.

Sarcasm?Landrys 70s system was very innovative, I wish we could go back to that.
Probably thought that's what Jerry wanted. He was then told differently.I doubt that. If that was the case why did Garrett say Linehan was coming back?
Ding ding ding! Everyone wanted Garrett's play calling duties removed...needs to focus on head coaching. In comes Callahan. Didn't take long for fans to become disillusioned with him...same offense. In comes Linehan same offense with an rpo thrown in here and there. It's all the same offense. The next guy who comes in will be calling the same available plays. When Jerry finally decides to move on from Garrett he'll hire someone from the same antiquated coaching tree. It's what he thinks he knows and understands!We can only hope that isn't the case. Why would they bring someone else in then? Why not stick with Linehan. He ran Garretts dull offense to perfection.
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.
That's what this smells like to me. Werder does have sources with the team, always has. He's part of the old guard DFW media who was here when Jason played and lavished Garrett with praise the first many years he coached here, probably because they knew and liked him personally when he was still carrying a clipboard here. I wouldn't doubt Werder got this news from someone in Garrett's camp trying to make Jason look good. "Oh, everyone hated Linehan? Well Jason wanted to get rid of him a long time ago but mean old Jerry wouldn't let him."But nice to see Jason Garrett roll another guy under the bus.
Yet they were going to fire Linehan along with alexander during the bye week.
I think Bryant has confirmed he had issues with Linehan.What more confusing? Word Linehan was behind Dez's release or Dez saying he was released coz he wasn't one of Garrett guys?
Only Dak, he needs to be betterWhat a mess.
There is nobody in that building that is capable of fixing this offense.
