[theebs]

Just saw on the nfl network scroll that garret has been hired as OC.

i just saw it on the scroll at the bottom under the news section?

If this is just the same speculation please erase this.

That is to satisfy Miami's imposed deadline......then we can promote him to HC later ....

I understand that, but are they speculating or is it true? The ticket hasnt said anything and th dmn blog has nothing?

Great news. I love it!

We almost have to bring in Wade Phillips. Who is going to run our defense? Switching back to a 4-3 would set us back a couple of years at least...

Report: Dolphins' Garrett joins Cowboys coaching staff

The Dolphins coaching staff has another opening as the Dallas Cowboys have hired quarterbacks coach Jason Garrett to be their offensive coordinator – for now – according to a report on ESPN.com.

It's not immediately clear whether Garrett, 40, is still in line for the head-coaching job to succeed Bill Parcells, who retired on Monday.

According to a source, the Dolphins gave the Cowboys a noon deadline today to decide whether to hire Garrett for the coordinator role or else he would be made off-limits and have to honor the remaining year on his Dolphins contract. That forced Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to act quickly and hire his former backup quarterback (1993-99) or else risk losing him.

Garrett left the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., Wednesday morning to begin a battery of interviews that included Jones, his son Stephen and Parcells at Cowboys Valley Ranch headquarters in Irving, Texas.

Although he never threw a pass for the Dolphins, Garrett did finish his 12-year NFL career with them in 2004 before coaching the quarterbacks for the past two seasons.

Garrett's father, Jim, was a longtime scout for the Cowboys, and brothers' Judd and John played briefly for Dallas. Judd is the Rams tight ends coach and John is the assistant head coach at University of Virginia.

The Cowboys have asked and been granted permission to interview San Diego Chargers defensive coordinator Wade Phillips for the head-coaching job.

According to the Cowboys team Web site, Jones also interviewed their secondary coach Todd Bowles, passing game coordinator Todd Haley and assistant head coach/running game coordinator Tony Sparano.

I'd be floored if he were brought in to be the next HC.

@ everyone that thought that'd be a good idea.

It would be very Al Davisish.

I heard Schefter speculate we could be interested in Rex Ryan. I'd be all for that.

 

[aikemirv]

John is the assistant head coach at UVA which happens to run a 3-4 defense - interesting!!

You mean like when Al hired QB Coach Jon Gruden away form the Eagles? Despite all the draft picks they got from the Bucs for him they sure do miss him don't they?

I noticed that too, and it could make sense. That has been my only concern with JG as HC, who the heck runs our 3-4? To switch back to 4-3 now would set the D back 2 years (debatable if that is a bad thing).

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Now this is a move that I feel very good about. In truth, I never really believed that Garrett would be the HC. Could still happen but I doubt it very much. Now, if we can land Ryan, Rivera or maybe even Lovie, that would be as good as you could hope for. Maybe even Mike Singletary as a DC. Who knows.

Good for Jason. This is great for us, the franchise and for Jason Garrett IMO.

Nice catch. That is intersting.

 

[Yeagermeister]

I like Jason as the OC also.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Did Gruden only have 2 years total coaching experience at the time?

 

[aikemirv]

Not as interesting as I thought. WR coach.

But I betcha he will be the WR coach if Haley goes.

Probably more like Art Shell for a second time despite being an abject failure the first go around and now a 31 year old college OC because the 34 year old turned him down.

 

[VA Cowboy]

No, but why ruin a good argument with facts

 

[JBS]

it is official guys....i just read on espn 2 bottom line chris mortensen is reporting that we have indeed signed him as our Offensive Coordinator. Did not mention whether or not he is a candidate or not for the head coaching position.
