Want to Fire Garrett? It's Going to Cost You $24 Million

[Avery]

Many of us clamoring for him to be tossed to the side, but remember that he signed a 5 year/$30 million extension that's fully guaranteed. With him making $6 million a year and four years left, he's still owed $24 million reasons to stay.

That doesn't mean he won't be demoted or have certain abilities stripped away, but I can't see JJ forking that much cash to someone and not get a return, it's just not in his nature.

Yay.

 

[Frozen700]

Ok and?

Jerry has the money.

But by all means, let's keep him and continue this train wreck

 

[The Natural]

Not my money.

 

[cml750]

I am on board. Actually, he could promote him to the front office and put him to work doing something.

 

[big dog cowboy]

He isn't going anywhere. We already knew that.

 

[Clove]

It won't cost me a dime.

 

[Avery]

Not my money.

Not directly, but seeing as how DFW fans are forking out hundreds for tickets, parking, beer and not enough beer, we could help fund his pink slip.

 

[Alexander]

Not news. Don't care.

 

[Hoofbite]

Is that worse than paying the $24M and having him stay?

The money is gone either way. If he's not fit for the job, he's not fit for the job.

Yay.

I would say if he brought in a real coach that won he would make the 6 mil per year tenfold.

Jerry won't get rid of him even if his contract were up this year.
The money to Jerry is small.....
Admitting he made a mistake is huge.

That is fine, but you have to pay the replacement as well.

This in a nutshell! People always bring up the money but if Jerry really wanted to make the change he wouldn't mind how much it would cost.

If JJ thinks this team is better off without Jason Garrett $24 Million is a drop in the bucket to him. That said I think Jerry is still a fan of Jason Garrett.

 

[yesfan]

Fine by me. Fine by me.

 

[Vintage]

That is fine, but you have to pay the replacement as well.

Jerry can go without his scotch for a month to make up for it. I won't lose sleep over it.

It's amazing how things work out for certain individuals, no matter how bad they are at their profession. Must be nice. Garrett is truly a very lucky man. He owes Romo a ton of gratitude. Hell, he owes it all to Romo.

Yay.

Jerry would make that back fielding a winner a few seasons in a row.

 

[Hoofbite]

Which they can if they so choose to go in that direction.

 

[cml750]

If Sean Payton became available I would jump at the chance and if that means firing Garrett I would be all over it.
