Garrett stays in Dallas
Today is a good day for Cowboys fans. Jason Garrett has accepted an offer to stay in Dallas as the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach instead of accepting head coaching offers from both Balitmore and Atlanta.
I for one am happy he is staying, both for the Cowboys and for Garrett. Neither Baltimore or Atlanta is a team that is anywhere near winning in the next 2-3 years and that is what it would take to stay as head coach. I also think Garrett has a sense of unfinished business here in Dallas, if the Cowboys had gone to the Superbowl he may well have left. I think he wants to show he can win big with this group before moving on. Last, I think Garrett himself understands that he has only been a coach for 3 years. To go from QB coach to head coach in 4 years with no prior experience coaching is a meteoric rise, which may well have led to an equally spectacular failure.
Plus he is making serious $$$ (as much if not more than Phillips) and is the obvious successor to the premiere coaching job in the NFL.
Go Cowboys!!
(still licking my wounds a little...)
