I'll say it again, if Garrett were to get an extension, I don't think I could continue to follow this team. That could be the final straw for me. I'd lose all hope.
I have no doubt Jerry does not want to fire Garrett but I still think the outcome of this season will determine Garrett fate. I expect any owner to fully back and support his HC but at the end of the day Garrett getting his contract extended comes down to how this team produces and the results
Lincoln Riley, Urban Meyer, Mike McCarthySo last night wasn’t a big game?
The Wild Card game vs Seattle wasn’t a big game?
Still waiting on these “strong” and available head coaches you had in mind.
Is this a revelation to anyone? This is clearly the reason why Jerry Jones has been patient to a fault when it comes to keeping Jason Garrett this long. He truly does want this thing to work out. And I think that all of us would as well.
Think about it, would you rather see Garrett and these Cowboys win a Super Bowl and see the man extended or have them lose just so Garrett would be fired?
Having said that, there's "looking for reasons", and there's "making up excuses". And I certainly hope that Jerry Jones is capable of making that distinction.
Given that he intentionally allowed Garrett to go intimidating a contract year without an extension, I think he does.
Earn it or don't.
As much as your statement is true i still blame JJ and is son for most of the decisions.We might change some coaches but won't matter much.You’re not a scapegoat if you’ve been handicapping the team through your PPP (P**s Poor Performance). The hate is warranted. In Rod’s case, it’s not so much poor performance as poor personnel input and decisions.
Honestly, I'm not sure how to take this or what it means.......lol

Jerry Jones is “looking for reasons” to keep Jason Garrett
Posted by Charean Williams on October 21, 2019, 3:06 PM EDT
The Cowboys front office repeatedly expressed public support for Jason Garrett last week in the midst of a three-game losing streak. Both Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones said Garrett’s job was not on the line in Sunday’s game against the Eagles.
They weren’t lying.
The Cowboys owner, in fact, said he wants to keep Garrett beyond this season after Garrett’s contract expires.
“I am looking for reasons. I’m looking for reasons to keep him,” Jones said. “It’s merited here. It’s hard to get an effective coach and get it locked in with all you have to do retool and redo
Fan revolt? When did this fan revolt happen? Was this fan revolt really the cause of Jay Gruden's firing? Or is it just a coincidence that Gruden was fired after Washington endured an 0-5 to start this season and the franchise had lost 11 of the past 12 games?Unless there's a fan revolt in Dallas like in D.C. with the Skins there won't be a change in HC. Money is good for the Jones family and in the end, this is a business and is about the bottom line.
Having an Ivy League education may be the mental hurdle. Garrett (Princeton) and Bill O'Brien (Brown) both come from Ivy League schools. Both of their NFL teams have enjoyed similar degrees of regular season and postseason success/non-success.It takes a long time to train a new puppet.
