Twitter: Stephen Jones On Garrett's Future

[PA Cowboy Fan]

he's reading from next years script. lol

He already knows the ending with Garrett as coach.

 

[cern]

Garrett is a Jerry project. Stephen's comment clearly wasn't an endorsement of Garrett. Stephen won out on dez and dak. Garrett's days are numbered.

 

[Ranching]

So much for that idea that he has taken the reigns from the old man.

Jethro will be swimming in the cement pond waiting for Jed to kick the bucket before he has any authority.

 

[Coy]

It would hint to me , Stephen wants him out ... interesting ...

Too good to be true.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Too good to be true.

I just read it again ... Now it hints to me , Steph hates Garrett !
I wonder, what will it hint the third time i read it !?

That's always been wishful thinking, an unsubstantiated FANtasy.

 

[JayFord]

I can’t take much from this statement

It’s not like Stephen can come out and say “give me a super bowl or your hindpotts is grass and I’m dah lawnmower “

Garrett will never be fired. He'll step aside into another role.

Makes sense. Look how long they held onto his brother and just kept moving him. From pro personnel to who knows what he does now. I think he is in a room in the basement wondering who took his red stapler.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Agreed, Fire Garrett mid-season and put Richard as interim .

My conspiracy theory is if Garrett cannot get this group to the NFC Championship game, and perhaps win it, then Richard is the next coach and Jerry is having laser surgery to remove his Garrett tattoo.

Jerry is a forgiving guy to his pet cats, but when he has put them in the position of success, and they fail, his tolerance evaporates like the prom king's love for the prom queen immediately after the happy ending of their connubial bliss.

I may have overthought that simile.

That is the EASIEST read between the lines quote you could ever get.

That 100% is a guy letting you know that he wants him gone, but Jerry wont do it.

I have been in that situation before and thats how it comes out. "Dont ask me" LOL

 

[CowboyRoy]

A regime change with Stephen Jones taking over won't be any different.

The only significant regime change would occur if the entire Jones family jet went down with the whole brood aboard.

Its obvious that if Stephen was running things, Garrett would be out already.

 

[JayFord]

I actually think Garrett would make a fine General Manager

 

[Mannix]

My biggest fear is he makes the NFC game and gets blown out...and keeps his job.

?

I’ll take it....

So much for that idea that he has taken the reigns from the old man.

This has been obvious since 2007, when Jerry hired Garrett BEFORE he hired Wade Phillips to replace Bill Parcells (accepting Garrett was a stipulation for WP’s getting the HC job).

After which, Jones installed JG as the Cowboy’s OC and immediately anointed him “head-coach-in-waiting.”

 

[Alexander]

Not really.

The idea these vague comments are somehow passive aggressive is just without merit.

I know it feels good to say that, but there is no real evidence to suggest what his opinion of Garrett is.

He defers to the person that has the final say.

Jethro keeps filling Jed's mug with Granny's rheumatiz medicine.

Why not? It's obvious we would've had a new head coach by now.

 

[Idgit]

Lol. People need to listen to what Stephen actually said here instead of the typical idiotic rush to the wrong conclusion like we do.

Good interview overall. The Garrett comments start at about 13 minutes in.
