Dan Reeves is a self promoting *&^%$

[BrAinPaiNt]

so he so badly wanted to work here....ok

There was a silence edict at the ranch. No coaches are to talk. Granted, he left not under contract, but I have counted 11 interviews about his roles.opinions, coaches,personell.Fine, but dont play the "i would be back in 5 minutes" card. You are blatantly disregarding a standing order and want to put all the blame on JJ, then act like you want to come back?

This is scant different than going for interview and then posting the company's strategic discussion with you to the paper.

No one was clamoring for this retread in weeks 1-SB. The Only reason he is getting any play, is because he was coming into "save" a 9-7 team with a star QB, because he was so successful doing that in the past....err...he was unemployed.

Players are not respond any differently to this 65 yr old retread than they did the last one. especially being out of the league for so many years.

If he really loved the cowboys, he would not talk about running games.TO,Garett.etc

On second thought. he would fit right with the rest of media ****** in the org.

It has nothing to do with him accepting or rejecting the job. things like that happen

My opinion is very clear, it was a stupid idea from the getgo. But whatever, if everyone wants to lay it all on Jerry for him not being here - Fine. I am happy others are not.

But the root cause of the Cowboys is a catch22. Exposure is what makes the team entertaining, loved and hated. but there are way too many players thinking they start early to have the next post-career success that - Aikman, Smith, Roger, Jimmy, Moose, Woodson, Irvin, Deion are having. Quite frankly, I am not sure many marginal players even care about football, but what time their makeup call is for the ESPN vignette tomorrow.

If by Jerry saying "he gets it." I am hoping for the first time he wants to pull back the sensationalism. no more sound bites, no more internal discussions taken publically. The entertainment factor can be in personalities and football skill - not acting like Tool Academy

Steve Smith broke his teammates face, quite frankly the media didn't give 2 $--ts because, it was , well, the panthers. Countless other fights and player discontent (Boldin, L Johnson, Garcia, etc). no one cares. And no one really should

But for godsakes let TO, RW, etc have a closed door meeting with Garrett and or other recievers after the Pitt game saying others were open (which video evidence proves Crayton was open) and you have coaches or players, etc blabbing to the media that "there was a WR meeting". The media is too lazy to try to find out the real truth, plus if it is turmoil + Cowboys, they know 90% of you will miss a week of work to watch it.

The "shut up" edict was the best thing I have heard all year. It exposes what BS Mosley, GAC, etc can come up with, spin as fact and get ratings.

Dan Reeves is a smart man and knows this or if he doesn't, he is too stupid to get with program regarding the media. The NFL Radio pay is not $2M/yr. He will wind up somewhere else very soon. But hey, why not make sure I have my interviews scrolling on ESPN about players and coaches for the next 48 hours

I really hate having to praise TO and his media relations - but he has handled this offseason as well as anyone this offseason. Better than Garrett, RW, Crayton, Carpenter, Ellis, etc.

Only the Zone could make Reeves the villain.

 

[Maikeru-sama]

The OP makes a good point fellas.


Why is Reeves talking to anybody with a mic about "internal discussions".


He needs to keep his dam mouth shut and not add to an already hostile environment. He was offered a contract and he did not like the wording and walked away.

Fine, I have no problem with that. However, dont walk away and head directly to the media and spill the beans on everything you saw or heard while you were "on the inside".


And the OP is also correct that nobody, and I mean nobody, even mentioned Reeves until the SB.

Dan Reeves is under no obligation to "keep his damn mouth shut". He is not apart of the Cowboys Organization and has every right to answer any questions asked to him by members of the media.

Furthermore, I love how some try to paint Dan Reeves as the guy nobody cared about and someone suffering in obscurity until Jerry Jones came and rescued him. The fact of the matter is, Dan Reeves turned down a job with the San Francisco 49ers and Jerry Jones indicated that the Dallas Cowboys contacted him about working with them.

To continue, Dan Reeves isn't spilling all the beans about what he heard at Valley Ranch. As a matter of fact, in one of his inteviews he stated that he was only there for a few days and wasn't qualified to answer questions regarding future personnell moves. I suspect Dan Reeves knows alot more about what is going on internally but has chosen to remain mum.

 

[TheDude]

My point is Dan Reeves can run his mouth all day long since he isnt an employee, however in multiple interviews he said he would love to be back in a second if "the item" was changed. BS. If so, he would be sure to add no more fuel or speculation to the fire

If not, then why grant 11 interviews on the same topic? And in said topic have to throw in the blurb that the staff is torn on a player, or that I was looking at opportunities in the running game, or I would report to Wade and work more on the offense? Because he knows if it was the the Texans gig, it wouldn't even make a thread on the Texans blog and no one would care.

How many interviews did garrett give about losing the RAMS job?

Not near as much as I love how incredulous everyone is over the innovative HC "Dan Reeves" not coming into the organization to do ______. He was all the rage of Cowboys fans after the Ram..no..Pit...no..Balt...no Phil loss.

Ok, he might have gotten the OC job leading the vaunted Shaun Hill, Isaac Bruce offense. That job was in high demand. The Cowboys will lamant for another 12 years for letting the chosen candidate for the highly-desired SF 49ers OC job slip through their fingers. BTW the 49ers are a young, inexperienced team with a 1st year HC. We have a >20 yr coach and Genius OC. the missing ingredient is Old scool.

If he was so interested to get back into coaching, he surely wasn't getting alot of bites for teams on the cusp.

McLOVIN!!!!!!!!!!

I wish that this would have been everyone's response to this thread, lol.

[Doomsday]

Youre totally off base, Reeves tried to take the high road and refused to state the reason or issue that they couldnt agree on. How is that being a media *****?

He gave up the SF O Cor job to come into this mess because of his love for his former team.

He should have went ballistic in the first interview about being treated like a burger flipper at McDonalds instead of a guy who has put his heart and soul into the NFL for most of his life.

You should learn your history on the man before you make a complete fool of yourself on the internet.

You have about 150 posts on here.

If you make it to 1000 I will be in shock.

Now go watch your T.O. highlights on Youtube and run around telling your friends 'can you believe it, no one on there was using the name 'McLovin' so it was all mine'.

I hate this planet sometimes.

Didn't work out. It was his contract to sign, he chose not to. If it was about "time" then he didn't want to committ to Jerry's wording. Its Jerry's team.

I would say I know my history 1 Million times better than you, but whatever

I hope it takes me a LOOONG time to make it to 1000, I have a life. Nice shot though - this guys isn't swinging the longest post count, so I will call him on it. What are you 3?

Now go watch your T.O. highlights on Youtube and run around telling your friends 'can you believe it, no one on there was using the name 'McLovin' so it was all mine'.

uhh, ok. (actually the last part is funny, if you weren't ironically called 'fanatic')

I hate this planet sometimes.

Just like you hate Jerry, TO and many other things Cowboys, yet still here.....

I have no problem with Reeves past, but it seems you holding him in 'idoltry' because he once wore the jersey and went to the SB 10 years ago (and lost)

OK. He is nowhere near the answer with Wade and Garrett already having boundary issues. Adding #3 likely wouldn't smooth it.

But I would love for you to sift through your 4000 mind bending posts and pull out the "What the Cowboys need is Dan Reeves" take prior to the end of the season. If you have one, I will gladly never port here again. If not, grow up and have an original though as opposed to wearing the kiddie wrist slinky and being led by whatever 90% posts as being wrong.

Until then, you will represent nothing more than the myopic sheep that hears a name and automatically thinks the team will osmotically take their mojo and get over the hump. The current landscape is littered with those success stories. Even Bob Knight wants to come back, doesn't mean he should.

 

[Mash]

Whats the difference when a player signs here with all those stipulations put in their contracts?

Its safe to say that most well respected players get signed and have things put in the contract to protect the team....and the chances are they will never break those stipulations......and its put in there for protection and not to disrespect the player.

If this issue is all about Jerry getting Reeves commitment put in writing....then......

Reeves should of just signed it.......no one would of found out about it and everyone would be happy.

But Reeves wasnt comfortable ......and thats that....so be it.....no big loss IMHO.

I seriously doubt Reeves sought the media. The media sought him. Anyone who has had any type of journalism class would know that he is prime for the taking. Sure he coulda said he didn't want to discuss it, but he was no longer an employee. Why should he hold his tongue.

Don't lash out at him for what we've all been saying for quite a while. Don't assume that he is the villain here. A majority here has been saying TO is THE problem, Jerry doesn't know what he is doing and there is no discipline on this team.

Reeves was asked very pointed questions and answered them honestly.

Tell me, what obligation did he have after he AND Jones decided it wasn't going to work.

It must be true if it's on a message board and being said by fans...

Just saying that nothing Reeves said is new info regarding discussions on this board. Not saying we are writing a new Gospel, but it has all been said before. This time we had someone how is a football guy and is able to make a quick judgment.

no re-treads.

I would temper your opinion of the opinion of such a publicity-w****.

You can temper whatever you want. But there wasn't a revelation by Reeves. You know it.
