You guys can take your shots at me and say what you want, but this is IMO the real reason Jerry seems to be so distraught lately.

I think before this season, Stephen and Jerry had a meeting about Garrett. I think in that meeting Stephen told his father that they needed a change but would give Garrett a chance to win himself a shiny new contract. Stephen knew this wouldn't happen. As he is on record after Philly winning a Superbowl saying "no more excuses" regarding injuries and whatever.

He also knows his father would never actually fire Jason. So this was a way for him to get rid of him without hurting him. I think in that meeting too things may have been said about control. Basically that meeting was like. "You have had it your way for 10 years, we need a new coach in here and a culture change, and that includes us."

Now we get to why I think Jerry is upset.

Jerry for the first part of the season was basking in all of his glory thinking, I am going to extend Garrett and get to continue to do things my way. As the season wore on and Jerry started seeing the unraveling and the Garrett era coming to an end, he also saw his own control going out with the coach. He has been lashing out and crying and then lashing out again because he is actually resigned to the fact that Garrett is leaving, and the culture change Stephen proposed is about to take hold. Meaning he can no longer do what he has been doing.

This culture change will be a changing of the guard for the coaching staff and the FO. And the biggest turning point was paying Zeke that money and seeing him not live up to it because of sub par coaching. Jerry realized that now is the time and it has to happen and hes mad as heck about it.

Why do I say this? Jerry has gone out of his way to make everyone know this season that hes the man. He is the GM. He is the final say. My thinking is. He knows he wont be saying that next season.

I think a deal is already in place with Urban or Riley, and Stephen negotiated it. Its already done. And Jerry is throwing a tantrum because he knows the new coach will have control and he needs to sit back.

This is obviously my opinion. I would love to hear your thoughts on this everyone.

I’d say the majority of what you hypothesize is true except Jerry will still have final authority. The good news is that Garrett is gone after we finish Tanking the rest of the season.... :clap:

He didn't with Johnny football or Dez

Jerry may have let others in the room talk him out of these 2 players, but don't kid yourself, it was Jerry's final decision. If he was hell bent on either being on the team, they would have been on the team regardless of what anybody thought.

You are on the right track but it didn't come down to one meeting.

Stephen Jones has been manipulating Jerry for several years now.

I think Stephen Jones has been slowly turning Jerry against Garrett for 2 or 3 years now. I think it has been Stephen's goal NOT to renew Garrett's contract for at least the past 2 years.

The dynamic with between the Jones boys and Garrett was different in the press conference to open training camp. Jerry's "I can't hear the question" routine when asked about Garrett's future was one sign.

The real reason for Jerry's anger!
