I think Jerry Jones' "T.O. Exemption" was the deal-breaker for Dan Reeves

True, but the way the folks act on this board has no effect on the Dallas Cowboys.

Tell the billboard and poll people that.

I read where it had to do with the Title he was to be givin, He wanted a Management one and Jerry wanted to give him a coaching one, so it would be all the more easier to push him out the door with Wade after next season.

as much as i don't disagree with cutting TO, i dont think he is the deal breaker...come on now

If you actually pay attention to the article, Dan Reeves backed away from his original statements on TO, saying his original comments were made without any inside information. He further went on to say the issue wasn't even discussed. He even implicitly mentioned Duane Thomas as a cancer that could be controlled, provided they had strong leadership. Why mention that if he was absolutely against TO?The comments against Garrett are actually mroe damning, in that it shows he was actually here to baby-sit him. Of course Dan Reeves is going to say he has respect for Garrett, considering he is there to baby-sit him and make sure he does his job. What is he going to say? "Garrett sucks and I'm here to make sure he doesn't f things up like he did last year."
Werder and Chris want to spin this, because they realize that all their groaning and complaining about TO as the sole cancer has been shot with Dan Reeves coming in to baby-sit Garrett... EVen Michael SMith says that was the case...

This thread sucks - Reeves left because of TO? The sun didn't come out because of TO? They ran out of my favorite beer because of TO? They took Happy Days off the air because of TO?

ENOUGH. If TO has THAT much power, then don't even BOTHER to discuss cutting him, because he truly is one of the Masters of the Universe.

Criminey... THINK people.

Rich. Reports flying everywhere over the possible reunion of Reeves & Vick, where ever Reeves lands. (Smoke/Fire) But he might have a problem with TO that possibly becomes a deal breaker for him here in Dallas?

Good riddance. Our garbage is better than your garbage. Go reunite with Vick elsewhere and stand firmly on that "hard-ground".

This guy is so past his usefulness in this league, I never did understand why we gave him one glance, let alone a possible office.
