Can anything be read from the offensive coordinator not talking with reporters?

As true as that is though, this is pretty unacceptable from Linehan. The Cowboys custom-tailored the offensive coaching staff to his liking back in the offseason and his unit failed them.

There is a contingent of Cowboys fans that want Scott Linehan to be coaching elsewhere next season, although this is kind of the same thing that was said a year ago. Will Jason Garrett finally reach a point where he has no choice, though? We’ll find out soon enough as we’re officially in the offseason.
