Lol. You act as if I wanted to retain Garrett. But I thought it was 50/50 that Jerry might keep Garrett. It will be interesting to see what info, if any, comes out from behind the scenes.
No I didn't.

Mike Doocy interviewed aikman about this and Aikman said he believes Garrett put everything he had into this and doesn't feel that was given back....not sure what he meant by that.

He also went on to say this is the way the cowboys do things, they are interviewing people for the job when the existing coach is still here. He said the cowboys are dysfunctional and it won't change.

so more shots fired at Jerry by aikman. Aikman is right by the way, this week has been a complete train wreck and I am scared of what the jerry stephen combo is going to come up with as a plan.

Pretty weak by Troy if that’s what he said. Sure he’s ripped Jerry recently but he’s skewered Garrett as absolute trash in recent weeks. To back off of that now that Garrett is gone is cowardly.

they are close friends. he sees the jones's behaving like they always do and calls them out on it. I don't see an issue.

Really? They gave Garrett 10 years. Troy said Garrett was trash and now that he’s gone somehow the Jones’ did him wrong? If you don’t see an issue there in Troy’s hypocrisy I don’t know what to say for you. If anything people like Troy should be saying that Garrett should kiss the ground Jerry walks on for allowing him to be employed as HC way longer than JG ever deserved.

Garrett is finally gone and some people are still complaining. Pretend this is Garret, you'll feel better.

I hate JG but I think it is unprofessional to start interviewing coaches when you have not fired your existing coach. This is what Aikman is talking about.

You can fire an incompetent employee and be professional about it. Jerry can't even do this right.

Babe said a bunch of stuff but most importantly he said Mike McCarthy is perfect for the job and pointed out how he had no say in personnel in GB and would be ok with the arrangement here.

he also pointed out how jerry will never change and playfully mentioned how Jerry has a G5, a Yacht, a helicopter and the most valuable sports franchise in the world so he is not changing.

How do you know this isn’t how Garrett asked to go out? If Garrett had X years left on his contract you’d be right. But in this case his contract is up. If anything, this is as professional as it gets assuming Garrett was told of his fate. Just because people wanted Garrett thrown into the dustbin on black Monday doesn’t mean that letting him go quietly is unprofessional. Think about what you’re saying.

That just made me think...
What if Jason goes all cray ex-gf and calls into all the shows and melts down in epic fashion?
That may make at least a few of those lost years worth it.

I don't think so. I'm extremely glad to see Garrett and his mediocre 8 and 8ness gone, but I do think he's got too much class for a "melt down" calling into the shows.
Besides, Jerry made him a millionaire. If he's managed his money better than he managed the Cowboys, he'll probably never have to work again if he doesn't want to.

I must say though it'll be interesting to see how many other teams will be clamoring at his door to hire him like some seem to think will happen.
But with his unimpressive record, color me skeptical.
