If Jerry was going to do it then it would've been done

What is the reason for 2 meetings? If you were going to fire him he would've already done it. I think that he's having these meetings to let the fans know before hand that there's a possibility he's just floating the concept that he"ll be coming back. Why even let him have exit meetings when he's not coming back next year? Why have a second meeting with no decision?

If JG comes back then I'm through with this organization (financially and following) until he's gone.

This would be the biggest middle finger to the fans period.

The most likely scenario is that its going to be several weeks until the new HC finishes the playoffs and "official" talks begin with them. There will be four billion threads like this until then.

The first meeting was the normal end of season meeting, the second was probably transition issues and details about coaches that are likely to stay. This isn't a fast food franchise guys.

Its been less than 48 hours since the season ended and Garrett is still officially under contract.

I know, just saying it's odd to see a head coach actually finish out a contract and there not be any real leaks about his future. Jerry made hints about what he wanted to see but now I guess there will be another discussion among the trio?

To those of you thinking of handing in your fan cards, what teams would you guys follow? Or would you guys just stop watching football completely? Or would you just watch football, but not have a favorite team in mind?

You’re such a rebel. Between you and other 3 or 4 that will pull their fan card, you guys have a movement started.

I really wouldn't doubt if Garret gets a GM title. When you think about it, its perfect for Jerry:
- He installs a puppet who is going to do whatever he wants. In effect, Jerry still is GM.
- He gets people off him for being GM/owner
- He gets someone to meet with the media and give them empty platitudes when things are tough instead of him getting beat up and giving scotch infused ramblings
- He gets to hire a new coach who is the fall guy when the team to live up to expectations

First they had to make vacation plans
Jerry leaves on vacation tonight
Then it’s a process
And we know the process takes time
Next meeting in Cabo

I don't usually talk like this, but if Garrett is retained as the head coach, I am also finished rooting for the Dallas Cowboys. I won't root for any other team because that's not possible, but I will no longer spend any emotional energy on this franchise. I'm not a Garrett hater, but the results say it all.

I said before the season that Garrett would move to the front office after this season matter what the team did. I still think that is a likely scenario, but there could be a million reasons for the second meeting.

If a fast food franchise had an employee making several million dollars a year with a 50 page employment contract, it would take more than two days.

Yep.

If he's being made a front office executive, there is no reason to not announce it now. If he's being let go, there's no reason to not announce it now. There is no secrecy in the NFL. By keeping this thing close to his vest, Jerry isn't play coy or about to pull a fast one over on the league.

Usually the simplest answer is the right one with Dallas. Jerry can't quit Jason. Garrett was his handpicked wunderkid coach and they invested nearly a decade in him (Jerry's words) and they just can't admit/understand it just didn't work out. I suspect they are still figuring out a way that they can bring Jason back and sell it to the fanbase. There is really no logical reason to just keep playing this shell game at this point.
