Why I think Wade is still around

Jerry gave Wade one more year. Not because he wants continuity, or thinks Wade is the "right guy for the job". I think it's because he has someone in mind that isn't ready to take the reigns. He doesn't want to hire someone he knows he will can the following year for the person he is waiting for. Wade is still the coach because he has become the stopgap until Jerry's man is ready to go.

While I would like Cowher, I don't think it will be him. I think it's Holgren. Of course this is all nothing but speculation. Though I feel completely confident that Wade's return is nothing but a stopgap. I cannot believe Jerry would look at this last year and truly believe that this was not Wade's fault.

It's gotta be either he's waiting for Garrett to develop, he's waiting for someone like you suggest, or he's finally gone senile like Al Davis. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and believe it's one of the first two options.

I have stated this repeatedly that this is all about Jason Garrett.

He has probably already promised Jason Garrett the job and at this point, he knows Jason Garrett isn't ready and couldn't justify promoting to Head Coach.

What's it going to be then, eh?

I think Garrett's amazing inability to mature really has Jones in a bad spot. He doesn't want to change just to change. So he's beating the continuity drum to save face.

As for Holmgren, you might be right. 2010 is when he will probably return after he follows through with the promise he made his spouse. Unfortunately, 2009 is going to a painful season again because we are playing a waiting game.

when the reports came that cowher was not ready this year he needed one more year off, that is what I thought immediately.

He's definitely headed in that direction, but I don't believe he's senile, yet.

It'll be interesting to see what happens if Garrett gets another offer. Would Jerry let him go or can Wade and promote Jason here?

I doubt that situation comes up though. I don't think Jason will get offered - or except it if he does, if he indeed has been promised the Cowboys job. And I can't believe Jerry paid him $3 million to keep him from going to Baltimore just to have him stay here as OC.
