Sorry, but that is such a bush league move right there.

The offense was top 5 in points scored and the OC basically gets fired and replaced with one of "Garrett's guys"........so he was not fired for lack of production, Garrett just doesn't like him as much as his bff from Detroit.............then the team denies permission for Callahan to be an OC at a different team.

Total bush league move, only scrub organizations operate like this.

So what should they do? If they like what Callahan does with the offensive line that btw was probably the best its been in a LONG TIME last season why would you let him go?

If he had an opportunity to be an OC at another team, you are going to force him to stay here and just be a position coach after you demoted him for basically no reason. (top 5 points scored)

If he was "demoted" it was because of how horrible the offense was. You can say top 5 all you want but that wasn't a top 5 offense. Sorry. I don't care how much their stats were inflated by that Bronco's game.....that was a bad offense that played purely on talent alone and thank goodness they have a good qb, receivers and running back because if they didn't....they would be bottom 5.

We've been getting by for years on our immense talent.

I don't know about bottom 5, but there was no consistent philosophy or identity. It was like playing Madden against a 5 year old.

You literally could have ran an algorithm with our playbook and using the Ask Madden code and the video game would call a better offensive game than Bill Callahan.

The line play is more because of Travis Frederick and Frank Pollack than Callahan.

you really seem to be struggling with the concept of time.

a guy who was demoted yesterday should be mad he wasnt allowed to interview last week before he was demoted ... because he was demoted?

again let's see what happens going forward before assuming we're being vicious and evil by asking callahan to do the job he was hired to do at the exact rate he was paid last year.

Hilarious, because when Garrett was calling plays, playcalling was nothing and execution was everything.

That may be true. I'm honestly not sure how much of a influence Callahan has on the line but he has the title I believe so I think he deserves some credit for the progression guys like Parnell, Bernadeau and Leary made from year one to year two.

Well I say bottom 5 because I can only imagine how effective this offense would've been with Eli last year.

If we had Eli Manning instead of Romo, we would've had the worst offense in the league.

That's my point. So I don't want to hear guys tell me how Callahan had us as a "top 5" offense and he is being demoted for no reason. First off, they weren't a top 5 offense they were a offense that guy by with no identity and purely off talent alone. I don't even care if next season they put up less points. Just have a identity or a gameplan. Just have something in place when you have a 3rd and 8 other than a shotgun formation for Romo to improvise with. If teams played us like the Bronco's did last season i'd be okay with this inept offense. But most teams actually blitz us every 3rd down knowing we don't have a play ready to combat that.

The ever changing narrative is comical.


In a week flat we have gone from "The offense isnt a problem derp"

To "The only reason why this team was competitive was because of Tony Romo" which is what some of us have been saying since 2008.


What is it Garrett parrotts? Get together and have a meeting of the minds, I have confidence in the remaining 4 of you guys to come up with primo deflections and excuses.
