My reading comprehension sucks. What is he saying? Is he saying that means McCarthy is only interviewing for OC? OR is he saying Garrett is not a consideration for HC again in Dallas???
I had a conspiracy theory in the back of my mind that Jerry will just interview a list of unimpressive candidates and then say, Garrett was the best option for this year and they will re-evaluate next year as a way to try and sell another year of Garrett and then hope this team somehow catches lightning in a bottle.
He’s saying McCarthy would not come here for an interview unless Garrett was already goneMy reading comprehension sucks. What is he saying? Is he saying that means McCarthy is only interviewing for OC? OR is he saying Garrett is not a consideration for HC again in Dallas???
Does this also prevent Garrett from interviewing with other teams?I think the simplest and likeliest scenario is this: The Cowboys have privately informed Garrett that they plan to go in another direction. However, they are going to hold him to his contract, and he remains an employee of the Cowboys until 1/14. This delays Garrett from interviewing for the Giants job or any other until he becomes a free agent. Just because the Cowboys haven't told the world their plans doesn't mean that they don't have them.
As far as McCarthy, I think he's an intriguing candidate, and the analytics aspect is sorely needed. I still would like them to broaden the search before settling on someone. This is too important of a hire to close up shop and settle for someone you interview on day two.

I would like to see them interview Robert Salah or Dennis Allen along with Gary Kubiak.Well, they can interview other candidates as well. If we are looking squarely at McCarthy, who as of two years ago, was 3-8-1 without Aaron Rodgers, who throws the back shoulder fade, break the pocket and throw daggers army lightning speed to compensate for trash scheming better than anyone, then this is a bad sign.
McCarthy still in Dallas.
What would this board do if McCarthy was hired as OC, Lewis was hired as DC and Garrett was retained as head coach? This board will melt down. I’m talking a meltdown of epic proportions. Lol.
Imagine thinking a guy like McCarthy would allow his agent to block him from interviewing with the Cowboys.
How is McCarthy not impressive in comparison to Garrett?
Keeping the old coach around would completely undermine the new coach. It's better to just completely remove Garrett.
Okay, but I can't imagine that he sees HC of Dallas as his only option. There's got to be a red herring in the mix here.Yes, until his contract expires.
I think it's pretty clear Garrett is done in Dallas. Lot of smoke and mirrors once the season ended, but the decision was made a year ago.
It's a battle of Jerry's red-headed step son vs his real son.
Stephen: Dad, I've interviewed 2 Head Coaching candidates.
Garrett: Jerry you're like a Dad to me..I'm better than those guys...are you kidding me...Marvin Lewis...
Stephen: Dad, Marvin Lewis fulfills the Rooney Rule.
Garrett: Jerry/Dad, Stephen is going to take the credit if a new HC is hired and it works...
