Taking this post seriously, I will try to alleviate your fears. No, nobody has the hard evidence you are asking for. They are keeping everything within a tight circle of very few people. However, there are things we know or have been reported. We know Jerry made Garrett coach out his final year without an extension and it has been reported and not refuted that Garrett needed a deep playoff run to remain the head coach. Obviously, he failed. We know Jerry runs the team as a family and Garrett is treated as such. That alone explains why Jerry didn’t can him immediately. We know assistants were told they could start looking for work. It was reported Garrett has been saying goodbye and exchanging contact information. We have no idea if they are discussing a front office position or if Garrett is making a case to remain the coach and Jerry is listening. What I can say for sure is that this is not the way you treat a head coach you have decided to extend. You don’t leave him twisting in the wind. If they were actually discussing a new contract, they would announce that. What this situation does fit is how you would go about getting rid of someone you don’t want to fire but you know it’s time to move on. You let them continue working until their contract expires. You possibly ask them to take a different role and if they turn it down, that’s on them. You did everything you could ease the stress of the situation. That is where I see this. There are many more quality coaches available right now than there are openings. They have their eye on 2-3 guys they know will still be available to them in the coming weeks. They may even have the bulk of an agreement in place so there is no hurry. They are simply easing Garrett out or into a new position instead of throwing him out of the building before his contract is up. Have patience. All signs and everything that has been reported points to Garrett not getting an extension to remain the head coach.
