News: PFT: Report: Jason Garrett has been campaigning to remain the Cowboys coach

[Stash]

I would agree but there are some media people who have been 100% he’s gone without waiver..like a right source...and I’m not sure why you’d interview people. It is very bizarre but I think the backlash would be worse if they said they were keeping him now. I mean both Stephen snd Jerry said they needed a next step

Makes one embarrassed to be a fan of a team that conducts business like this.

this is truly pathetic.

If you would have told me right after the Commanders game that 1 week later we would not know the status of Carrot, I would have said you’re nuts. Yet, here we are.

We're not the ones who are nuts. They're inside the building.

So true. Even with Jerry running the show, you didn’t see this coming. It’s sad because he already answered the question on accountability and change. Just more of the same!

I’m kind of stunned. I was on vacation 28th-2nd and just assumed after Eagles win that when I got back I’d have time to get on here and talk new coaches without JG around. It’s beyond bizarre what they are doing. Only thing that hit me today was maybe they told JG he was done but would let contract run out and during the week they just game planned who to bring in. But wouldn’t you announce that? Did they build a fort and go over names together? It’s ludicrous

And what's the point of Garrett twisting in the wind while other guys are interviewing? How does this nonsense help anybody?

how does it show Garrett any respect? This just makes him look like an even bigger weasel.

No worries Jason..........Jerry says there's a half dozen teams just waiting to hire you.

Jerry once said 500 coaches could coach the Cowboys. Wonder if he thinks 500 teams want Garrett as a coach.
Things to ponder.

Agree!

No idea! I’m as stuck as anyone. What I threw out was all I could think was going through their mind. They stifled Romo and Dez from moving on early enough so I think they are just petty putzes...I’d use other language

Never underestimate Jerry's ability to do the ludicrous, unthinkable, off-the-wall, and surprising! He's like one of those people who eat pineapple and anchovie pizza! Remember Thanksgiving day......

“I’m going to do the same thing I’ve always done when I get a setback or get my butt kicked,” Jones said. “I’m going to get up in the morning and I’m going to look for ways [to help], and I’m not going to panic. I’m going to look for ways to improve the situation. ... One of them is not a coaching change.

“I’m just not going to make a coaching change.”

His appearance on The Fan.....

"Jason Garrett's a good coach, let's start right there," Jones said. "He's one of the smartest coaches and one of the hardest-working coaches ... He knows this team better than anybody. When I, this year, decided to go with a younger makeup of the coaching staff -- I decided that -- I felt strongly that we could go and do that ... (and) he could be the safety net ... So I'm glad to have him. He is the guy for the job."

"In my opinion, Jason Garrett will be coaching in the NFL next year."

There are plenty of articles speculating that Jason is out, but I can't find a single one where Jerry has stated with no take backs that he's moving on.
Like always Jerry is working on his own timetable.

Garrett is staying. Lewis will be DC/Co-HC, McCarthy will be OC/Co-HC. Garrett will be VP of HC Operations.

The “coaching in the NFL next year” to me could be anything and I didn’t take it as an endorsement. Stephen stated we needed to take the next step. That would be NFCCG. I’m not sure how Jerry can sell no playoffs. I know he’s insane enough to do it but I think it’s foolish

This is why nothing will really change. Jerry wasn't satisfied winning SB's being the owner and GM rubberstamping Jimmy's decisions. Jerry wants to be the owner, GM and make decisions that should belong to the HC while not being overshadowed by the HC.

Jerry isn't looking for a real HC. He just wants another puppet who is willing to let Jerry pull the strings. It's unbelievable how Jerry is far more concerned with being in control and having his hands involved in every aspect than he is in actually trying to win.

It could be. Any normal person would think he's gone from that statement.

But we're dealing with Jerry!

Jerry hasn't said, "Jason is fired," or "We will not be renewing Jason's contract."

Jason hasn't announced,. "I'm leaving the Cowboys at the end of this contract," or "The Cowboys will not be renewing my contract."

Why? Something must be in the works, is the best guess.

But there is nothing preventing Jerry from interviewing as many people as he wants, before announcing an extension. If he decides to retain Garrett he simply says, "I was testing the water and came to the conclusion there is no one more qualified to lead the Dallas Cowboys."

Or he is/has a new hat for Jason and does bring in a new Head Coach.

In any case, if Jason is gone/out, there is no reason to not announce "Jason is out/gone."

 

[nobody]

It's simple. Hand Garrett a recording of the 12/22/19 game. Say "Practice squad players beat you when it mattered most. The door is that way. Goodbye."

 

[Jason 82 Witten]

Garrett is gone. Jerry just has too much respect for him to fire him

 

[Wolfpack]

I wonder how the interviews went today with Jason standing in the hallway?
