Garrett's in charge?

[silvrNblue]

That was Stephen Will and Jerry...

BINGO....ding ding ding

 

[Stash]

garrett lost a lot of credibility with the way he handled the linehan firing the press will now eat him alive

Yeah, but only in the real world, outside of Dallas, where they're allowed to and not beholden to Jerry Jones.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Hmm...
Seems like many in here have argued Garrett is making key decisions including drafting as well as coaching staff. Any thoughts on that now?

let me be very very clear. any bad decisions or anything leading to a bad outcome of a decision is Garrett. All good outcomes or good decisions is either jerry, Stephen, Mcclay or somebody else. garrett gets all the bad stuff, all the good stuff goes to somebody else.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Explain to me why he hasn’t been fired at this point? Because I can’t understand why he hasn’t.

 

[khiladi]

He may be but it’s clear he was told that Linehan was gone.

It became clear after his “I forgot what I said this morning” quote.

What quoted was that?

 

[Stash]

Because he allows the owner to do whatever he wants, that's obvious here. Garrett will obviously do or say anything Jones wants if it means keeping the job. This should be categorized as an abusive relationship.

And most of all, Garrett allows the owner to be comfortable.

 

[khiladi]

Those people will either disappear for a while, or will claim this was actually Jason's call. Probably bend reality and claim Jason never wanted Linehan in the first place.

Dooley was also his guy..

To be fair if I was getting paid 6 million to allow the owner to do what he wants, I’m good..

 

[CATCH17]

What quoted was that?

Jason on his radio show Monday morning saying he’s didn’t expect any major coaching changes then in the afternoon he didn’t remember what he said that morning when asked at his official press conference.

According to the Cowboys, Garrett was the one who met with Linehan, and they came to the mutual decision that it was time for him to go. Not a word about JJ or SJ being involved.

That’s “Princeton intelligence” for you..

Wade Phillips fit that same model and got canned. I don’t disagree with what you are saying. I’m not implying that Garrett is running things.....but Garrett isn’t just a lap dog. A lot of these moves being made are in favor of Garrett and to help him.

And your reasoning for why they retain him also why I say he has him by the balls.....there’s not many coaches out there willing to put up with Jerry. Garrettt knows that as does Jerry.

 

[khiladi]

Jason Garrett’s father worked himself into Jerry’s family. All three of the brothers ended up on the Cowboys to begin their careers and all of them still worked or work on some capacity. Judd Garrett is Director of Pro Scouting and he hasn’t done anything of value. John Garrett was here as TE coach and promoted as passing game coordinator in one year under his brother, but Jerry ultimately gave him a graceful leave, while firing everybody else, including guys like Skip Peete.

I don’t consider losing Linehan to be a major coaching change especially if it’s true that Jason took back some of that responsibility at the end of the season.

 

[Section446]

There's no way he's in charge of much.

 

[AtlCPA]

What is he supposed to say? Linehan is a gone before he has a chance to properly dismiss him?

 

[Stash]

Sellout!

 

[CATCH17]

Yeah.. It’s a wait and see thing.

If we hired Kuibiak or Defilipo then I would expect change but if we promote Doug Nussmeir then it’s just the Cowboys doing what they did last offseason and pretending like cutting Dez and lining Cole Beasley up at the X or Z is some kind of real change.

 

[Stash]

Wade Phillips fit that same model and got canned.

And the wheels had to come off, to the tune of 1-7 for that to happen. And Phillips wasn't 'extended family' the way the Garrett's are.

I don’t disagree with what you are saying. I’m not implying that Garrett is running things.....but Garrett isn’t just a lap dog. A lot of these moves being made are in favor of Garrett and to help him.

I'm sure that's what they told him. Four days after he said there would be no staff changes.

And your reasoning for why they retain him also why I say he has him by the balls.....there’s not many coaches out there willing to put up with Jerry. Garrettt knows that as does Jerry.

No, there's one side pulling the strings in this deal. Never forget that. Garrett sure doesn't. The guy says "how high?"

 

[Stash]

What is he supposed to say? Linehan is a gone before he has a chance to properly dismiss him?

Whatever Jerry tells him to say. This makes that obvious to anyone with a functioning set of eyes and ears.
