Opinion: If Garrett is not extended, Linehan stays

[Hawkeye0202]

Hot take: Jason Garrett might survive this season. Does anybody really think that's an actual question mark at this point?

Linehan, however, might be a different story. If Marinelli retires, we're already swapping out the DC. I expect we'd keep Linehan, but as I've said in other threads, I do think there's something going on there thats rubbing people the wrong way in Dallas. If the players--specifically Cooper--really do have an issue with him, I could see him moving on, too.

For me, the question isn't firing Linehan but finding a quality replacement to work for a lame duck coach IF Garrett isn't extended. Even if Jerry find one, how you sign him to a multi-year deal with Jason in a contract year? Doubt many coaches wanna up-root or move their family on a one year deal.

Pretty persuasive argument, much as we all don't like it.

My bet though is Garrett gets extended and Linehan is bye bye.

You probably right coz this is the only RIGHT way this thing can work.

You're right, Garrett extended 5 years 2014.........Linehan and Martinelli were extended 3 years in 2016.

Ok, thought so, but I thought it was all done the Same year. I guess I got the years mixed up.

If JG is brought back for 2019 trust me Jerry will add a year or two to keep him from being a lame duck it’s pretty SOP around the league even with bad coaches. I don’t see Scott being here no matter who the HC is. I think they will try to poach a young guy from somewhere like LAR or KC. I think they will look for someone on a creative staff and with a mobile QB. If the Browns staff gets cleaned out I’d make a run at their OC what he has done with Baker and Chubb could be done with Dak and EE.
