It’s not good, guys. I’m not buying the “respect” argument. Today (Thursday) will be his third hour-long meeting with Garrett.
Think about it - if they were letting his deal expire or going in another direction, this wouldn’t take 3 hours.
My guess is that they’ve offered Garrett a front office position but he still wants to coach so they’re at an impasse.
Jerry is very sensitive about the fan base and he doesn’t want them to turn on him. But he also really wants to keep Garrett.
My greatest fear: Jerry intentionally drags this out so that in a few weeks he can say that he interviewed 5 coaches but none of them is better than what we have; Garrett gets one more year to prove himself.
I’m afraid at this point this might even be the most probable outcome.
