Trent Dilfer: If Cowboys fire Garrett, he'll be No. 1 candidate NFL Jobs for

[Don Corleone]

I find it extremely hard to believe that Garrett would be #1 on anyone's list. If he is, it would say alot about what people think of the other candidates. If Garrett is that "highly regarded" in the football world, why isn't he being looked at as a GM?

What makes you think Jerry won’t give him a front office job where is basically the GM?

 

[DasSchnitzel]

I've often wondered how JG would do in a typical organization instead of this one with Jerry's meddling.

Either way I predict JJ hires JG into the front office.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Why do I get the sinking feeling at Jerry will give him a front office job in Dallas where he is a consultant to the next head coach? This would be so Jerry Jones.

I dont know why you are getting that feel. Its pretty random

 

[JohnsKey19]

That's fine. But it just has not worked out here. He's had an entire decade.If he goes on and has incredible success elsewhere, great for him. It's not like anyone can say the organization did not give him enough time in Dallas.

How do we know he isn't being looked at for a GM job?

It prevents Jerry from admitting failure regarding Garrett and we know that’s what he ultimately cares about.

Time? No, he had enough time. Leeway to do his job? That's another question. It is speculation as to just how much the Joneses are involved with the actual team but we know one or both of them makes team meetings.

If you think thats Jerry ultimately about, then you havent been following Jerry. Jerry cares about profits.

Its funny how people are right that ownership is a problem. But you focus on all the wrong evidence

Saban was dismal failure in the nfl. Easy to coach kids but a different animal to coach adult millionaires.

This has been nagging at me and I have been afraid to give it voice for fear of giving it life. Now, I only have you to blame...

Because in Jerry's eyes, there's no reason to pay a GM when he considers himself the best GM in the business. Like I've said many times before here, the only reason Garrett has been here this long is because Jerry knows if he's successful somewhere else all fingers will be pointing at Jerry...

 

[CouchCoach]

Especially one that wants the level of control he's said he wants. He learned his lesson in his stint in the NFL, other people control too much of your success unless you're a Belichick, Payton or Reid.

But look at what Lurie did with Kelly. There isn't a one size fits all.

This is true. But complaining about Jerry "involvement" is like complaining about the sky being blue. It's not changing. Unfortunately it is what it is since he owns the joint. Since that's not changing, you do the next best thing.

only Cowboy coach where if he went to Washington, New York (or even Philly if they were looking) I could care less

 

[ksadler1]

You're absolutely right, we don't. I hope we're going to find out. Gawd, makes me sick to see what Jerry has created here...

 

[CouchCoach]

Saban was dismal failure in the nfl. Easy to coach kids but a different animal to coach adult millionaires.

He's knocking down 10M a season with the largest coaching staff in football and has 5 stars willing to ride the bench to get one good year and get drafted in the 1st round.

Besides that, he and Garrett are friends, he knows more about that job than anyone in college football.

 

[Valkyr]

When did Trent Dilfer become Garrett's agent? He's kissing his butt like there's money involved.

 

[CouchCoach]

You're absolutely right, we don't. I hope we're going to find out. Gawd, makes me sick to see what Jerry has created here...

And that's exactly who is responsible, I don't blame Garrett. And I do not hold out any hope for the next HC except that I hope he's a better game manager and actually understands situational football.

Garrett might be effective in a FO position but not in Dallas.

 

[Beaker42]

He’s incredibly well regarded in NFL coaching/GM circles. And the fact is there are not a lot of coaches available with 3-4 division titles on their resume.

So underachievers CAN overachieve???

The ONLY thing Garrett succeeds at is failure.
