CZ POLL How do you think the Garrett decision will play out?

[Reality]

While we wait .. and wait .. I thought it would be fun for everyone to predict how they think the Garrett situation will play out eventually.

 

[JayFord]

I honestly believe they wont re-sign him

i could also see him getting a one year prove it deal

what should have happened is him being dismissed after the Commanders game just so we can get a early start on the coaching search

 

[viman96]

I think it will be a combo of 1 and 2. He will be informed he will not be retained and let his contract run its course. He will not be in the building and will be relieved of all responsibilities.

 

[Sarek]

I honestly don't know, i feel confused. Normal behavior is not something Jerry exercises. If this is just about a long goodbye, well then it should be over soon. If it's about something else well then i have no idea on timing.

I'll go with this week, not a firing, insert whatever other word you'd like.

 

[jazzcat22]

If it has taken this long to not fire him yet, or say his contract will not be extended.
Then Jerry is trying to put marks from the con side of the board to the pro side to get him a new contract.

taking this long is not a good sign he is gone.

 

[Techsass]

I don't think they want to make it an ugly goodbye, so they just won't renew his contract. He'll be free to seek interviews, etc. without any ramifications. In fact I'm sure his agent has already been busy.

Agreed, Im losing confidence rapidly. The reports of JJ meeting with the players to discuss coaching and the 2 meetings with Garrett seem to suggest anything but a firing. Its scary right now. I cant believe there's a world where he returns.

Starting to think the front office thing might be for real.....

 

[ThatJerryKid]

Garrett is gone by end of day. Cowboys ring in the new year by hiring Dez Bryant as head coach, Jason Witten as offensive coordinator and Sean Lee as defensive coordinator. Brett Maher comes back as special teams coach.

Completely agree. If this was a foregone conclusion (as it should have been) then there is no reason for the daily meetings. Even if Jerry didn't want to officially "fire" him an announcement should have happened by now that Garrett wasn't getting an extension and we thank him for his service to the organization.

Getting nervous about this. I absolutely cannot do another season of watching this putz clap on the sidelines.

Yea, this is what I was going to say. Options 1 and 2 are kind of the same thing lol

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

Either Jerry is basking in the attention of this and wants to release Garrett on a day where media attention will be at its highest, or he’s resigning him for one more year. It doesn’t take this long to fire someone. Garrett’s staying in the organization one way or another

 

[snadler]

At this point how can you not think he’s going to be retained. JG obviously like a cockroach was able to convince Jerry to keep him around and it worked..if he was gone it would have happened already

 

[Fmart322]

Jane Slater just said no new news today about Jason Garrett future.
Wth is going on?

 

[Big_D]

Wasn't this the year to prove it?

If you're referring to our FO as being dysfunctional then yes it's very real.

Even Snyder atleast tries and fails....,... Jerry's content with failure.

 

[Common Sense]

At this point, it has to be one of the last three. This clearly isn’t a dismissal anymore.

 

[doomsday9084]

Is there a functional difference between firing him and letting his contract expire in two weeks? I think people really put too much though into that. Jerry is going to pay him through the end of his contract regardless of what happens and the amount of money involved has to be peanuts anyways.

 

[clff15701]

He wouldn't meet with Jones twice then demote the ST coach if he was getting fired.

 

[Pantone282C]

My money is on a front office position (GM) - he has already started making decisions (O'Quinn to scouting, seek other employment, etc.)
They are waiting for playoffs to end, and will get a coach from one of those teams.
Probably already have the principles ironed out, and they are just playing the waiting game.
