Red Ball or Red Herring
http://cowboyszone.com/2016/06/red-ball-or-red-herring.html
On my last post the discussion started off about JJ Wilcox and his ability to maintain his roster spot. All of a sudden the discussion switched to Jason Garrett’s ability to coach and progress talent on his roster. Don’t get me wrong, I understand the questions, a 45-43 record and the more import postseason 1-1 record. Depending on what side of the fence you are on, his record can be viewed as progress or mediocrity at its finest.
What can you say? Jason Garrett is the Dallas Cowboys eighth head coach, who was initially hired as the Offensive Coordinator for Wade Phillips in the 2007 season. Many Cowboys fans knew something was up when Garrett was hired - before Phillips. It makes you wonder if Phillips was slitting his own throat by signing on with the Cowboys. Was Phillips that desperate for another shot at a head coaching job that he would sign up for a public castration?
The 2007 season started off like a dream with Jason Garrett’s offense finishing second in total offense and other teams started knocking at Jerrah’s door looking to hire the wiz kid. The Baltimore Ravens and Atlanta Falcons interviewed Garrett and even went as far to offer him the big dog position which he decided against. Resigning with the home team for three million dollars in 2008... to remain the offensive coordinator. If I were Wade, I would have known the fix was in at that point and the writing was on the wall.
I could possibly understand Garrett passing up the job due to the fact that he was looking at Joey Harrington and Byron Leftwich in his quarterback stable and an over the hill Warrick Dunn in the backfield. The Falcons wound up drafting Matty Ice in the 2008 draft but maybe in this situation it was better to stay with what you know than what could be, but the Ravens job is what had me looking at Garrett sideways...
