Question, we end up 7-9 and we miss the playoffs for the 4th straight year, you really think we keep Garrett??? I say No Way.


I think he's gone at 7-9. We make playoffs better than 8-8, my guess is he stays.

After a thorough and exhaustive search for the replacement of Jerry Jones' hand picked head coach, the 24-year tenured GM of the franchise had this to say about his hiring a new head coach.

"Just between us girls, I have looked high and low, and there was only one man who answered each and every questions the way I thought it should be. Therefore, after turning over every leaf, I have decided to hire myself as head coach. I just offered myself a lifetime coaching contract that fits in nicely with the profitability of this franchise. So now I am officially in charge of the socks and jocks, and.....I look pretty good in the shower, too."

I don't know about looking good in the shower LOL!

You mean the guy who drafted a 30yr old QB in the 1st rd?

You mean the guy who averages getting his team to the Superbowl every 5.6 years?

Note: Holmgren is a wretched GM -- there is no denying that. IMHO he has been a pretty darn good coach -- right there with Parcells in my mind. Parcells won 2 SBs, lost 2 SBs and Holmgren won 1 SB, lost 1 SB, and got screwed by a infamously bad call in another SB (which he lost). Also, he beat Parcells in a SB.

I would say Lovie Smith is the most likely canidate. His top defensive guy is already on the staff, and we wouldnt have to change the defense again. Bringing in a defensive coach, would allow us to hire a top notch offensive coordinator and rehaul this pathetic offense.

The only drawback I see to Smith is that he never did bring in that top notch offensive coordinator. He thought he did it with Martz and it was a disaster. Ron Turner, Terry Shea and Mike Tice.

The drawback you get with Holmgren is shelf life. I do not see him as an answer.

He can bring Brandon Weeden to Dallas to be Romo's heir. That would be an excellent idea.

We have one example of a real bad draft move as a gm. He is coming as a coach. Belichick doesn't draft particularly well yet is a top coach. Just saying

Any coach that comes in will be lending his flavor to the silly soup we brew up at draft time every year because we do not have a real general manager. Holmgren might have been a top coach, but he would give at most three seasons. Then we are left with who he suggested we draft and whatever head coach he wanted to recommend. I just do not see him bringing a great staff with him either. His choices to coach in Cleveland were about as bad as his draft choices. Pat Shurmur? Dick Jauron? Brad Childress? No thank you.

Saban's got a birds nest on the ground in Tuscaloosa, an absolutely beautiful lake home in the mountains up here (see him at church sometimes in the summer), and more money than he needs.....he ain't going anywhere!
