No, just in the paragraph...that they didn't give Callahan sufficient control. SJ was making reference to giving Linehan more control for 2018 saying he had been limited. He used Callahan as an example; although the conversation was really about Linehan in 2018 (The remarks were in 2018).
In another interview he said Garrett had failed to meet expectations. He can be very direct if the interviewers are asking serious questions.
For the past few years basically all of the Cowboys moves have correlated to things Stephen Jones said on air previously. It is obvious that SJ has been running the football operations and the Head Coach decision was the last question of whether Jerry would over-rule him.
My opinion is that without SJ, that JJ would have kept Garrett.
It's also my opinion that SJ had already researched Head Coaches and had already discussed terms with McCarthy's agent before McCarthy came for the interview. I think SJ basically prepped McCarthy/Agent on what Jerry would want to hear to make certain Jerry didn't object.
With Garrett gone, the coaches, players, scouting department, big contracts, etc. are all Stephen Jones decisions. Jerry will never give up being in front of cameras and microphones pretending to be the GM but Jerry is basically out on making football related decisions now.
Jerry's time has been trending away from football (Cowboys Team) operations since he built Jerry World, then more when he built mini-Jerry World (The Star). At the same time he has gotten old.
The pick of Martin over Manziel was the 1st really obvious sign that Jerry was deferring to Stephen Jones. Jerry did over-rule SJ when Jerry insisted on giving Dez a mega-contract but when they cut Dez that was an SJ decision. Neither Jerry or Garrett really wanted to dump Dez (It's funny that Dez blames Garrett).
