Linehan's role was reduced, offensive input from Garrett, Nussmeier, and even Dak

I don’t know why people struggle with this. He expected the hiring process to happen quietly in the background. He wanted to get SL to the Senior Bowl to try to have a soft landing. So he told the press we ‘didn’t anticipate any changes.’ That’s a sentence that can always be walked back after the conference championships this weekend.

The only thing he didn’t anticipate was cranky Jerry contradicting him. That’s gotta happen from time to time when you work for Jerry

I have a headache:confused:

Lol no way.

All he had to say was ‘like every year we look at everything. Haven’t done that yet. But I was pleased with the performance of the staff this year.” He wouldn’t have said what he said if he thought Linehan was out. Unless he is dumber than imaginable.

Not sure I see the difference been what you’re saying he should have said and what he said. “We don’t anticipate any significant changes to the staff” is pretty tame. It’s basically coach-speak for ‘we don’t have anything to announce at this time.’

Here’s what he actually said: “We don't anticipate any significant changes on our staff," Garrett said on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM]. "Obviously, we're still evaluating everything on our football team. It's still 36 hours after the ballgame, but we're gonna keep kinda trying to grow as a staff and as a football team, and we'll evaluate what we did and keep just trying to get better."

What's interesting about this is why in the hell would Garrett standing in front of millions of people and say he expects Linehan to return. He had to know/sense his days were numbered. I tell ya, as an Ivy Leauge graduate, he certainly say/do some dumb things sometimes. (lol)

Garrett has always used his coaches as scape goats for the teams failure..... Garrett has thrown several coaches under the bus...Linehan is just the next in line...... Is Kellen Moore still the QB coach?

I could tell Dak put in his input for the Giants game. With none of his starters except Cooper he got 4 touchdowns in his sleep. Probably a sign of things to come.
