Source about John Garrett

[ShiningStar]

It was Judd Garrett's wife, Kathy, who died. John's wife, Honor, is still very much alive. Kathy's death was why the Rams let Judd go, so he could be in Dallas closer to the rest of his family. John and Judd both have 4 kids, and he is a widowed Dad with those 4 kids.

I am not surprised he might stay even if they do make him an offer, and I would not blame him if he left for that offer. The Garrett's consider themselves a Cowboys family. All of them. Of all the jobs Jim Garrett ever had, it is this team that he built his roots for his family with.

thank you as well since im the one who pulled it completely from that spot where most reporters get their info.

Thanks for the correction, Hos. Wish I had a family as close as they do.

thats why we're here, also if we need to jump up some rungs on the worlds ladder, we know who to come to to screw over.

welcome to the family son!!!!!!!!!!

That's not true. Just having the chance to interview for an offensive coordinator position is a great opportunity in itself because it gives the coach experience with the interview process. Owners talk to other owners throughout the league all the time, and if John has an impressive interview, I guarantee it will get around the NFL and he'll get other opportunities down the road, if he doesn't take the job in Miami.

You can have a super impressive interview. However, if you don't take the opportunity that pretty much kills all the good you've done yourself.

Anyone who wants to move up can't play the "gee, what if position X opens" game.

This is true. If he wants to move up, he must, at some point, go to another team.

Perhaps he does not have those aspirations, I don't know.

 

[AbeBeta]

i doubt it now a days with cell phones and they can call and keep up or tweet their complaints and what have you. Maybe back in the old days, you know the 70's and 80's but not now and not where you have to have interviews for certain people so we all feel equals and the new mindset of the new league as the media gives us our opinions and everything.

I really think the Garretts who interact, know the peoples, know the players, and probably do the picnics and what have you, can make slower more safer moves than some of the younger guys getting their feet into the league and need to make the jump to the raiders regardless of what happens.

Yes. Because of cell phones, a guy can just turn down an opportunity for a major promotion.

I'll respectfully disagree with you, man.

I respectfully acknowledge your right to be 100% wrong.

What is your problem, man?

I would have second thoughts about the Miami OC job for sure.

Ross obviously wants to replace Sparano, and he probably will in 2012, imo, if a good candidate is available.

What will accelerate Sparano's departure is lack of a top quality QB going into 2011. And without a top quality QB, it's going to be tough in that division to make the playoffs.

And no playoffs, well . . . .

According to AbeBeta, you're supposed to take every coordinator position if you're a position coach so you're 100% wrong... :abuseme:

Jason will obviously give his brother some good advice as well. And I'm sure JJ would mention that Ross would likely be going in another direction in a year or so as Ross's stadium is empty.

If the Cowboys do well in 2011, a lot of (better) opportunities will surface for many coaches on the staff.

I think John Garrett will be a head coach in the NFL one day.

 

[Seven]

Sure -- but the chance to go there and be the OC is pretty huge. If he has any aspirations to move up the coaching ladder he has to have success on a team his brother doesn't coach.

Brother or not.......if he's successful he's successful. Field product/production proves him one way or the other.

The family attachment and success label attaches after success is accomplished at a high level...not before.

But being included somewhat early in recognition, is a strong point if later developments prove out that all ellusive accomplishment element.

 

[CCBoy]

I think John Garrett will be a head coach in the NFL one day.

This tree has to prove itself out, before strong opportunities not related directly to the families early experiences. The time line for the Garretts does transcend more than a single generation...but in more of a supportive manner. Now's your chance, Fancy, don't let me down. As the song goes.

I've never seen Hard Knocks, so what does John Garrett look like? Is he a redhead just like his bro?

John Garrett is in parts of this video.

With Garrett saying he'd call the plays, it makes it hard for ANY offensive coordinator to get credit for work under him. You throw in that it is his brother and it would be a terrible mix. Just look at how people saw Ron Rivera as DC in Chicago -- everyone attributed his success to Lovie Smith. Imagine now that Ron Rivera was Lovie Smith's brother or son ...

Andy Reid never called plays before he became a Head Coach. Not on any level.

Football people place a different value on football intelligence than the typical fan will.

Using the rearview mirror now, how much of Andy Reid's direct successes was dependent upon the strength of his supporting and long tenured staff. The least of which was the recently departed DC Coordinator, bless his soul, who carried a team's scheme of aggression.
