News: PFT: After Stanford interview, Jason Garrett says he'll stay at NBC

[quickccc]

Some dysfunctional HC desperate team like the Houston Texans will hire him on as new HC.

Ultimate pitch salesman who ruined Zeke's career.

Stanford may wait it out for Kliff Kingsbury to be fired from Arizona Cardinals ..

 

[RodeoJake]

I'm relieved. I'm sure DQ would've jumped at the chance to be his DC at Stanford.

The position of media sports analyst is not one that offers a lot of job security. Typically, you become old fast.

 

[Aven8]

I hear Jackson St is hiring

 

[Risen Star]

I can just imagine what Stanford's transfer portal will look like next week.

 

[Sheepherder]

So… He didn’t get the Stanford job in other words lol

Who cares.

 

[calico]

Jason. Stay at nbc. You don’t have to think for that job and you get paid life changing money to work 10 hours a week.

when you think, bad things start to happen.

Giants got better after they fired JG

So did we!!

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

“Guys….I’m back!”

I mean, I'm not sure what he gets paid with NBC but it's a sweet gig. Show up for one night. Throw out some football cliches, talk about a few plays and boom, you get a nice check.

I doubt JG is hurting for money, he probably still lives in a "reasonable" house when compared to his peers. Coaching grind is rough I would dare say even at NCAA level you hardly have any down time between regular season, recruiting, spring ball (if that school has it), plus alumni pressures, etc.

The "boom" part made me go back and read your post in a John Madden voice.

I've always expected him to end up at an East Coast college. He probably living in Jersey listening to his Bruce Springsteen albums waiting on the HC job of his Alma Mater Princeton to open up.

Question: What does a Texan hate more than seeing an automobile with NY license plates headed towards Texas?

Answer: Seeing one with a U-Haul trainer attached...

 

[NeathBlue]

Who cares.

People who take time to reply to the thread…

Good move on Jason’s part, who needs a coaches 60hr workweek. Stay at NBC for nice cash and much more free time to enjoy life. Does it get any better than that?!

And he is entertainment for the CZ. As he drives some posters nuts for no reason.

He was paid MILLIONS by Jerry. He was one of the highest paid Assistant coaches before he became a HC. He never had to work a minute after he was fired from here.

I like the job Jason Garrett has been doing at NBC Sports. Plus, he's been correct many times and a huge Cowboys supporter. Would rather have him than some Cowboys hater.

Tony Dungy makes Garrett look brilliant in comparison.

The only NFL media person worst than Dungy is Phil Simms.

Garrett is so odd that it makes him interesting.

Envision if Walter White had been in the movie Scarface. Which guy does not look like a drug dealer?

Envision Jason Garrett in a group of coaches and ex-players. Which guy does not look like he fits in that crowd?

I'd be interested in seeing Garrett at the college level. His style of coaching seems to fit building a college program over coaching at the NFL level. I have no doubt he can get a group of 20 year olds to buy into his coach speak, probably would be a solid recruiter too, although that's a little tougher at Stanford. He also probably doesn't get outcoached week after week on gameday in the pac 12 either.

With that said it makes no sense why he would ever want to when he has an ideal job at NBC. The college hours are brutal. I wonder if he isnt interviewing for college jobs just to ask NBC for more money.

JG will never be more than a mediocre HC at any level starting at JR High.

WTH? Big mistake Coach.

LOL, exactly. At least Stanford gave him the courtesy to let him say he was not interested after all. Spare him the embarrassment ..
