If Jerry would have fired Garrett...

[Randy White]

Actually those would both be stupid hires.
Why would you hire the guy to be your asst who was your owner's first choice for YOUR job???That would incredibly daft of those coaches.

I'm going on merits alone. If Garrett was available as an OC, for whatever reason ( he got caught screwing Jerry's wife or something ), after he turned down both of those jobs ( yes, bizarro world scenario ), those coaches would have bent over backwards to get him in their staffs.

He made that good enough impression on those franchises.

Usually you need ties to the coach or you need a defensive coach who has no offensive plan whatsoever.

That's exactly what the Ravens and Falcons hired in Harbaugh ( special team coach ) and Smith ( d-coordinator ) last year after JG turned them down.

JG in Raiderland or Detroit as OC makes sense and may still happen. If JG doesn't care about the money difference he could get Jerry to allow him to pursue those openings.

I doubt that's going to happen. JG is not going to give up the supposedly 9 million dollars left in his contract just to get away from Dallas. Especially to go to the Raiders.

Garret and this offense will not be consistent thru the whole season(even in December) unless they can run the ball consistently.
This offense gets into trouble when we use the shotgun and the 3 wr sets as it's primary offense against good defenses.
Our O-line is built to run the football and losing Barber and Felix really hurt our balance on offense. That's no knock on Choice either, but when you have Barber(excellent picking up blitzes) and Felix(speed=big play at any time) out of your offense the defense can concentrate on the passing game and take thier chances with letting Choice win the game.
Now Garrett is responsible for the lack of sticking to the running game to at least make the defense respect the run. He didn't do that and in my opinion he hasn't done that enough in the last 2 years. He needs to get back to some smash mouth and quit worrying about getting TO,Witten and Roy thier stats.
Balance on offense...it does your team good during a long season.
