Per Schefter & Rapoport: Linehan and Marinelli in Demand

[CoachHodnett]

@RapSheet: Interesting, Scott Linehan signed a 1-year deal when he joined #Cowboys. Bet him on himself. Should be in demand after his work in Dallas

@RapSheet: As for Rod Marinelli, he signed a 2-year deal with #Cowboys. Worth watching the Lovie Smith connection going forward if talks don’t progress

@AdamSchefter: Raiders requested permission to interview Cowboys passing game coordinator Scott Linehan, per source.

it's hard to turn down a head coaching job, but i hope jerry signs these guys to extensions. this team could be even better the next two-three years.

I'm sure Linehan signing a one-year contract before this season had more to do with Garrett and Marinelli having one more year on their current contracts, than it did "betting on himself".

In this case it would be losing them to coordinator or position coach jobs. I can't imagine Linehan finding a better situation or more money than Jerry could throw at him. So I feel good there. But money can't buy loyalty. Hopefully the coordinator role and running the defense is enough to keep Rod.

Now that's commitment!

Suppose Linehan signed a 3 year deal and this season did go well, wouldn't Jerry be on the hook for his contract if he'd fire the whole staff? Or at least he would've got a buyout.

I recalled a poster mention that if Jason Garrett stays Rod and Scott stay as well.

I don't see them leaving especially with a young team and Head Coach that they like.

 

[d_dub88]

More worried about keeping McClay in the organization. Coordinators are always at risk to leave from season to season.

 

[thunderpimp91]

I get the feeling we keep both honestly. With rod I undestand the loyalty issue, but what about the loyalty to the Cowboys? Over the past couple seasons don't you think he's developed a loyalty to this staff, this front office, and these players? Can't see him taking a position coach job in Tampa.

With linehan I think he becomes our official oc next year, since Callahan is likely on his way out. maybe he gets offered a head coaching spot, but there are only a few spots up for grabs and a lot of big names out there. I would be a little surprised to see him leave.

Well, if a poster said it, it must be true.

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

I'd be surprised if Linehan got a head coaching job again.

Then again, stranger things have happened.

 

[Dwight]

I think it was Hostile (sp).

Yes, he would have. That's why the Cowboys were looking for an OC for one year. Worst case scenario, they could find a new head coach next season and he could bring his own staff.

I bet on Reality because he always delivers.

If only it were that easy.

Seriously we need to keep these guys.

Whatever Crappaport. We got a game to win today.

 

[Proximo]

I predict both Rod and Scott will return next season.

 

[CATCH17]

Less Jason Garrett is a good thing.

It would be horrible if we lost Linehan.
