ESPN Mosley Report:

Report: Garrett set to talk to Rams again
January 16, 2009 5:53 PM

Posted by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley

Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett is headed to St. Louis today for a second interview with the St. Louis Rams, according to NFL.com. All indications are that Garrett is now the No. 1 candidate for the Rams' head coaching vacancy.

I just spoke to a source at Valley Ranch who said that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will not try to talk Garrett out of taking the job. That means that Jones will likely be hiring another offensive coordinator.

But unless something goes wrong in the interview Friday, Garrett appears set to be named the Rams' new head coach Saturday. On Thursday, team officials said they wanted to make a decision by Saturday.

According to sources, Garrett will meet with former Rams president John Shaw, owner Chip Rosenbloom and new general manager Billy Devaney tonight. Much more to come on this.

I hope Garret doesnt go, but if he does we need to hire Shanahan.

 

[Murph80]

Garrett is gone.

From rotoworld...

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett is on a plane to St. Louis as of Friday afternoon. Schefter could not get confirmation that Garrett has been hired, but the timing obviously indicates it's a probability. Schefter reported earlier that Garrett had emerged as the favorite as of Thursday night. Leslie Frazier and Steve Spagnuolo were considered the other finalists.

damn it

i know a lot of guys were down on Garrett this year....but i personally believe he may have suffered the dreaded "sophomore slump".

if he does truly get hired, then i wish him luck and wish him success....unless it's against us.

i think he will be a good head coach in this league.

and the plot thickens......

Really!

 

[Hostile]

Oh man. I may be sick.

 

[Woods]

Well, if true, it looks like Garrett is gone.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Wow that's interesting news. Thanks for the update.

 

[Woods]

If Garrett is gone, I wonder if JJ sticks with Wade, or makes the big change?

And if Wade stays, does Sherman become OC?

 

[odog422]

Oh man. I may be sick.

Makes 2 of us.

[SDogo]

Oh man. I may be sick.

I'm going to hold off on that.

IF Dallas brings in Shannahan because of this I will be estatic

IF Dallas promotes from with in for the OC position I will be sick

 

[theogt]

Hallelujah, the idiot may be gone.

 

[HanD]

I'm going to hold off on that.

IF Dallas brings in Shannahan because of this I will be estatic

IF Dallas promotes from with in for the OC position I will be sick

Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett is traveling back to St. Louis this afternoon, a league source said Friday. The Rams said Thursday that they wanted to have a decision by Saturday. The Rams also spoke with Garrett Friday and finalized the plans for him to come back. So despite the speculation that Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier or Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan could be St. Louis’ next coach, every sign now points to Garrett.

I said it in another thread, but I'll say it again here.

It appears as though some of you guys will get your wish.

We'll lose a young, up-and-coming coach (TWO Top-10 offenses in two years, but admittedly is still learning) and will be left with a 35 year old, past-his-prime WR.

Then in one or two years, we'll cut said WR and will be looking for a young, up-and-coming coach and be complaining and wondering how we can get our hands on a Singletary, Harbaugh, Tomlin, Garrett-type coach.

Some people can't see the forest for the trees.
