The new stadium opens after 2 years; in fact it opens in 2009. Texas Stadium has but two years left for it's Cowboy's football life. So, does this affect Jerry's choice for the next head HC? Jerry's got to be thinking about this - that he can't open the 2009 season with a losing coach (or have Texas Stadium ride off in the sunset with a loser).
If Jones hires a young head coach (ala Mike Singleteryy) he'll have to give him more than two years to establish himself, if these next two seasons don't go so well for the young coach. This may mean growing pains for the coach and losseas for Texas Stadium's last two seasons. And because of the youth and inexperiece, Jones may feel pressure to stick with the same young coach going into the new stadium.
But Jones won't feel the same pressure to give a more experienced coach the same luxury. That's what I think is driving Jones' desire to hire a guy like Phillips or Turner. Because these coaches are old enough, and have head-couched before, giving them just two years with this current crop of talent is enough to fire them after two seasons if they don’t win a Super Bowl in that short time. And because of their experince, they may close Texas Stadium out as a winner.
So weighing these options, I think Jones will go with an older coach and likely it will be Turner because he at least can work with Garret and get him ready for the head coaching title in 2009 if necessary. Basically, I don’t think Jones will hire Turner because he’s the best person for the Job (for that, my money would be on Singleterry), but instead because he gives Jones a chance to win now, and also gives him the option, if need be, of going into the new stadium with Garreet, after being groomed for two seasons.
