FWST: BLOG: Garrett makes an impression

[ZeroClub]

Me too. He'll take 3 or 4 coaches with him.

That's a good point about the assistant coaches. Depressing, too.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

he probably wants to go some place where he can run an offense not try to get 1 guy the ball as a gameplan every week. who would you rather keep Garrett or Owens?

Apparently his offense couldn't get anyone the ball.

 

[ddh33]

I'd rather keep Garrett too.

Garrett has to go.

Owens is still a playmaker. (don't care what anyone says)

Romo also questioned Garrett's play-calling. So I guess you want to get rid of Tony too?

 

[MWILL]

Wouldn't it just be his brothers?

:laugh2:

does it even matter? do you think this cureent team can become a champion by next season?

why not, did you think Atlanta would get good in a year, Tennessee?

What does either team have to do with the Cowboys? I didn't think even the Lions could lose every game in a season and that happened.

Until the Cowboys actually do anything in the post season, I don't think it's crazy that some people are doubtful.

Exactly. Jerry talks about wanting continuity, if Jason gets a job offer I see that as Jerry's out to fire Wade... to keep Jason, and several members of the current staff.

So, yes, I hope Garrett gets a job offer as a means to remove Wade, and because I think Garrett is well suited to being a good head coach. The Garrett bashing has gotten out of hand. I'm ready for him to lead us now.

One thing that struck me yesterday as I was talking to a few people about the possibility of Jason Garrett becoming the Broncos head coach is that he will have to take a pay cut. Garrett is currently making over $3 million a year, and the Broncos want to pay their new coach around $2 million, which is the going rate for coaches right now. If Garrett is interested in the Broncos, he has to make some hard decisions regarding his financial situation. In agreeing to interview for the job, he had to know there would be a salary range he would have to consider. But there are some things more important than money, and being a head coach is one of them.

YES. PLEASE LEAVE! ASAP!

Garrett makes an impression

Dallas Cowboys assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Jason Garrett is considered to be high on Denver's list to replace Mike Shanahan, according to an NFL source.

Garrett impressed Denver officials during his interview on Tuesday, according to the source. He was one of seven candidates interviewed as they concluded on Thursday.



Garrett, 42, also interviewed with the Detroit Lions on Monday. Denver owner Pat Bowlen and the search committee are expected confer and either decide to offer a candidate or begin a round of second interviews.

Last offseason, Garrett turned down jobs with Atlanta and Baltimore to return to the Cowboys and signed a hefty new contract that made him the highest paid assistant in the league at $3 million a year. And despite the Cowboys' drop off in offense and players complaining about his scheme, Garrett remains a heavily-sought assistant.

Broncos owner Pat Bowlen surprisingly fired Mike Shanahan after 14 seasons and two Super Bowl titles after Denver missed the playoffs. Denver has a search committee conducting interviews and it consists of Bowlen, chief operating officer Joe Ellis and three football operations executives.

So we're paying him more money as a coordinator than head coaches are making? I wonder if he'd stay AND take a pay cut...

if Parcells was here, I can guarantee you that this O would have been much better this season

no way with this stable of backs, and with Romo's impulsiveness, does he have us rank 20th in rushing attempts

the fact that we barely devoted the offense to running the football hindered our offense greatly, and that IMO, is unforgiveable, and why I wouldn't mind it in the least if Garrett goes

it was a pitiful year of coordinating

Just for the fun of it, I wanted to see just what teams ranked ahead of Dallas.

You think 20th is bad. How does 25th sound?

Rushing Stats

25th?

Is that right?

Dallas was bottom 10 in rushing attempts this season?

You have to be kidding me.

Not so fun to see it now. Pretty much just say that nearly all of the league attempted more runs than Dallas.

FWIW Dallas was 8th in passes attempted.

Interesting side note. 9 of the 12 playoff teams this year ranked 20th or below in passes attempted.

Hard to run the ball with so many three and outs and turnovers.

 

[InmanRoshi]

Garrett and Owens can go. Garrett can come back once he knows how to be a qualified NFL offensive coordinator. Sorry, coaching the most high profile organization in professional sports isn't amateur hour, and this team doesn't have the luxory wasting 2-3 years potty training Garrett until he's ready to put on his big boy pants.

 

[Hostile]

Prediction...Denver will name Josh McDaniel their Head Coach on Monday.

just a gut feeling?

What do you think happens to Garrett?

 

[ladiewolve]

I hope you are right Hos. I think just because Garrett is doing interviews doesn't mean he plans to take the jobs. He did an interview last year and still decided to stay with Dallas.
I think he knows he has a shot at being a HC in Dallas too.

Here comes Shottenheimer ,or Shanny

I will take either one of these guys over Cupcake, no questions asked.

but the 2008 Cowboys will have little bearing on the 2009 Cowboys either.
