Just got home, opened up the computer, logged on to read the official "Jason Garrett is fired" thread and I see this crap instead?
What the hell is going on? Garrett is conducting exit interviews? Why?
I dont see Schumer conducting exit interviews in NY. I dont see Kitchens doing exit interviews in Cleveland. In fact, I cant recall any head coach just hanging around doing routine stuff after they were told their services were no longer needed. Now I hear Garrett and Jerry are going to have more meetings tomorrow? Again, why? It doesn't take multiple meetings to tell somebody their services are no longer needed. You have multiple meetings when you are negotiating.
So what exactly could they be negotiating? Seems like there are only two logical scenarios that would require some sort of negotiation. First is that Garrett is being offered a front office job and they have to negotiate exactly what he will be doing. Is it just a figure head position so everybody can save face, Garrett avoids the embarrassment of being fired and Jerry doesn't have to admit he was wrong. Or, is it actually a real front office job with actual duties and responsibilities, maybe like head of scouting or something like that. Wasn't his dad a scout for a long time here.
The second scenario is so evil and twisted I dare not mention it by name. Lets just say it involves the entire coaching staff being let go except for Jerry's adopted son. Everybody gone but him and new coordinators are hired with pretty much complete autonomy over their areas. This way Jerry can claim that he is committed to change since he knows the fan base is demanding it, but he also gets to keep his adopted son around, thus he escapes having to admit he was wrong. Garrett stays but is pretty much in charge of nothing, OC runs he offense, DC runs the defense, and the ST guy runs the special units. Its like firing Garrett without actually firing him.
So which scenario is it? I guess we will find out tomorrow, maybe.
