Name an NFL coach, assistant coach or consultant with this clause in their contract. Prove to me that no other NFL coaches or assistant coaches don't have this clause. It is irrelevant anyway even if it were only the Dallas Cowboys. No coach has left Valley Ranch because of the structure except Dan Reeves.
Maybe if you reviewed the structure of this contract and knew the details of the compensation then perhaps you could comment more intelligently about it.
Who cares about your employment situation. You are not Dan Reeves. Who cares about the substance of your opinions you are not working within the organization nor are you Dan Reeves or Jerry Jones.
Have you ever heard Jerry talk? If you did you would know he's a lot more involved in the X's and O's than a normal owner. Give me relevant examples or a pattern of when Jerry Jones schemed on the defensive or offensive side of the ball and the coaches acknowledged it. That is more than grasping at straws.
He's the GM. So I would think the guy who is making decisions on what types of players to sign and not to sign has a hand in knowing what the offense and defense are doing as far as scheme goes. Sure a GM should know what is going on both sides of the ball and he gets input from his coaches and scouts - in order to make better acquisition decisions via the draft or free agency. So what is your point besides hyping and twisting with the Jerry wants to be coach generalities.
And Reeves didn't make it an issue because he didn't write the contract. For all we know Stephen Jones could have structured the contract or someone on Jerry's legal staff in conformance to federal, state and local labor laws and NFL protocols. Reeves indeed made it an issue because he objected to that one stipulation. Arguing about it is absurd because we were not privvy to reviewing the contract. Jerry did and he was the one who would not budge on the clause. They both couldn't agree with whatever time stipulation. You could just as easily state that Reeves didn't budge on it either.
The people in here who are saying that Dan Reeves is the type of guy who just wanted to come in a few times a week and collect a free check are ridiculous. Makes me think that a mindset which is close to home for them. I don't think Reeves wanted to come in and collect a free paycheck either but maybe in reality he did want to work a certain amount of hours. This is a guy who has had health issues including a heart attack.
I am sure Dan Reeves was going to be taking three hour lunches where he's off golfing like Steve Spurrier was while he was with the Commanders. No one sensible has stated that Dan Reeves was going to exploit the position or take advantage of extended lunches. By the way, I doubt Jerry would care if he took a longer lunch here and there just as long as he effective met organizational objectives and didn't undermine the coaching work structure.
That's the ticket. That's how he found himself in the Super Bowl so many times as a player and coach. I see, you allow Dan Reeves to rest on his laurels or past success but not Jerry Jones. The Dan Reeves of recent years (before retiring) wasn't a player nor that successful a coach.
Some people are such homers it makes you think they would literally jump off the top of the new stadium if Jerry asked them too.
