We are going to have to wait this out like the Gore - Bush Election.

If there's no announcement by Friday, guaranteed there'll be 435 more Garrett/Jerry threads until an announcement is made. :D

We all have our theories and expectations of what may happen and here’s mine. I think if no announcement is made by Friday I think Jerry is slow playing this situation as he’s waiting to see if his guy becomes available. And by his guy I mean Mike Zimmer.

We all know Jerry gets attached to coaches and players and I think Zimmer is one of those guys. We also know that Jerry loves familiarity. And another familiar name is Norv Turner. Norv is without a job now with the coaching change in Carolina. My gut is telling me Jerry isn’t in a hurry and has even said he doesn’t care if all the names being mentioned get hired and it’s because Meyer, Rhule and others aren’t his priority. He wants Zimmer leading the team and fixing the defense and Norv grooming Dak and running the offense. Ole Jerruh wants to get the band back together so to speak.

I think it all boils down to Jerry isn’t getting any younger and he’s feeling the pressure from Father Time. He doesn’t have the time to bring in a college guy and let him learn the league. He doesn’t have time to bring in a young hot shot assistant and let him learn how to be a head coach. He does know Zimmer is a demanding, task master type coach that is highly capable of fixing the defense. He knows Norv can help Dak develop more consistentcy to his game and get the most out of him and the running game. He knows what these coaches are capable of and he’s worked with them before and they Jerry. So in the end I think Jerry stays within his comfort zone and hires his guys. Not saying I’m in favor of this should it happen but I can see this happening.
He doesnt have time to wait? Well he just wasted 10 years waiting for Garrett to learn on the job. How did that work out?

I don’t understand why you guys are still on suicide watch. Many of you didn’t even want us in the playoffs, begging for the season to end, but now you still can’t just sit back and wait on next year.

The Cowboys are still extremely likely to have a new coach next year, and no....a few weeks makes absolutely no difference to draft, free agency, or OTA preparation. There’s plenty of time.

Pigs will fly, steers will roost in trees, the sky will fall and earth as we know it will cease to exist.

If this happens then it does mean it is the end of Garrett. And no one will be here to rejoice but the roaches. :lmao:

oh, wait, Rowdy and Garrett will still be around then. :banghead:

Very true.
I said similar to this several times.

Nothing will happen until mid January or so, maybe even early February. They may lose some time on getting new assistant coaches together, if a new HC is nor forced to use any current coaches.
But only thing that may happen is that the PS players as well as a few other will be signed to a futures / reserves contract. Which really means nothing but retaining their rights to be on the roster for now.

The theory about his coach is coaching this weekend is a bunch of bologna...he doesn't have to announce his new puppet at the same time he cuts the strings on his current

My care meter is almost empty.
Mine is to the level that I have to tap on it once in awhile to see if it still functional.

The fact will hear something Thursday is actually media/fan-driven. Jerry/Fo hasn't promised anything. But I do think this would further push the candidate in the playoff theory. My point is don't be surprised there's no news tomorrow or even Friday.
I'm sticking with NOT hearing by Friday.... JJ loves him some media attention. And look at who will be the talk of the media heads even DURING the playoffs....JJ and the Dallas Cowboys, still NO answers to the HC position change/ no change....

Then we find the prediction thread prior to the season and rehash our picks.

The "candidate in the playoff" theory does nothing to explain why Jerry is having multiple meetings with JG.

Jerry has other ideas, because he's Jerry. :muttley:
