Just so we’re clear once and for all, Garrett likely isn’t going to be fired

[Mobinvans]

Not giving him a new contract is pretty much the same thing..lol

I really dont care what people want to call it as long as that clown is gone

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

The only thing we know is that Garrett hasn't been fired , & jerry went media silent for the first time in 25 years .

Thats the only fact.

 

[Ranched]

Sure, let's wait 15 more days before we actually start interviewing head coaches. That seems smart.

Oh stop it. Jerry already has the new Head Coach signed sealed AND delivered. Let's not get carried away here lol.

Please read the post before responding

There'd an unwritten rule with football coaches.

You don't interview for a job when someone still holds it.


Meet with? Sure.

His contract expires in 14 days and the most likely scenario is that it simply isn’t renewed. We save no money by terminating him over the next two weeks. None of that prevents us from interviewing and hiring someone else prior to that.

Im surprised this fairly straight forward and obvious information is being so overlooked by fans and the media a like. Everyone being so up in arms he hasn’t been “fired” is silly.

This maybe true....he will not be renewed but personally Dallas want waot till the 14th to start the Coaching search

 

[ThatJerryKid]

Ok. Now I understand........

 

[CowboysLegends2]

There is no reason to keep JG on the team through the 14th. One would think Jerry would want to make a decision as quickly as possible for the team and JG.

Waiting till the 14th would make it almost impossible for JG to get another job as an HC this season if that is what he wants.

There seems to be more people who think Garrett will be offered a HC job than I expected. Has anyone even heard any Rumors that any other team is interested? Surely something would be floating around with the number of positions open. It is hard for me to imagine ANY team in the league being interested in him in any capacity. Not even as a position coach.

I was pretty sure at some point there was going to be an announcement Monday afternoon at the latest. Now another meeting ?? For what?? If they were going to fire him I dont think it takes two meetings to do so. Something is up, and I think a lot of folks around cowboys world are going to be really ticked off tomorrow afternoon.

Actually yes, there were rumors 3 weeks ago about the Giants wanting him.

 

[TheSkaven]

Yeah that’s a fact. But Jerry will make an announcement confirming that JG won’t be back. When he does that is anyone’s guess, but I’d imagine it will be Thursday.

I’m legit worried now. They met with him for almost two hours today and couldn’t finish, so they’ve asked him to come back tomorrow to meet again.

Quite simply, that’s not how this works. If they were going to simply let his contract expire, they’d let him know in the first 5 minutes of the meeting and there wouldn’t be much else to discuss.

True. I did hear that but I guess I dismissed it like people do when they think about winning the lottery. It’s fun to think about but not many actually believe they will win.

Garrett going to the Giants would be close to a hat trick. Not only are we at least a 50/50 shot at being a better team with a new coach but the Giants would be guaranteed no championships for the length of his contract. Only two teams left to worry about in the division after that.

Agreed , Garrett going to the Giants would be a huge blessing .

Winner winner chicken dinner. There is a lot going on behind the scenes.

I prefer to look at it as Garrett handcuffing himself to a welded plumbing pipe in the building. Jerry had to have the second meeting so he can come back with a hacksaw to remove him from the building.

Honestly, i dont think so. He owned the NFC east during his tenure here.

LMAO . 3 playoff berths in 10 years !

is that 'owning' the NFC east ?!

This truth is terrifying .

Look up his record against nfc east teams.

 

[Tabascocat]

Jerry loves him some Garrett but I don’t know what to make of this. One would think that Dallas lets him go today so Jason can get to the job search before everything is filled. Well, here we are and nothing has changed.

This tells me that Garrett will be here next season in some capacity, HC or moved upstairs. It is unfair to JG to string him along and I don’t see the Jones’ doing that to him.

Even if Jerry has his new HC all but signed ahead of time, he wouldn’t keep Garrett around to wonder. Something is amiss here and we are the fools for speculating.

I warned many not to trust Jerry, he won’t do what most expect. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear in the future that Garrett talked his way out of his own release.

This might be the skeptic coming out or me bring a glass is half empty, but I see it more like 2 of the 3 other teams in the NFCE won superbowls while Garrett was treading water in his era.
