I'm happy if this ends in Sean Payton or Lincoln Riley.Can we all be happy now? You too Schmidtty.

Probably depends on how the team does overall. If the team takes off, offensively, but still gets bounced in the divisional round, I think it's fair to move on. But again I'm probably still looking at Payton first, or Riley.So this brings up an interesting possibility. Lets say the team takes off next year offensively. We have a really good season and it's in large part due to this prodigy we have at OC. If you haven't laughed and stopped reading at this point, what happens? Do you keep Garrett around knowing that Moore is likely the architect and will start getting head coaching offers? It would almost be a Redskins like situation with McVay. Would you credit that success to Garrett and extend him?
It would be a wonderful situation to have because it means we actually have a good season next year. Which I'm sure most of us are doubting. But not extending Garrett now really only works out if this team doesn't do well on offense next year.
I read somewhere that Peyton had the option to opt out of his contract and the article I read said Saints ownership wouldn't stop him if that was his choice. I wish I could remember where I read it to attach the link. Sorry guys,.This is good news though not ideal from a hire Sean Payton perspective since he has 2 years left. I really don't want to give up picks for a coach. This does make the Kellen Moore signing easier to stomach though.
I certainly don't consider next year to be a throwaway year though. I kind of wonder what is going to be Garret's expectations. Division Title of course. NFC championship game? Superbowl? What's fair?
Also, free agency will be a bit of barometer. If we go all in and get 2 stud free agents (say Earl + DT) I think the front office will be giving Garrett a real chance to stay. If they kind of take a more sustainable course with resignings +/- Earl + bargain basement guys I am thinking they want to take a long-term approach to keeping a quality roster and just swap out the coaching staff if they don't create magic.
Well this would be the “down year” of Jason Garrett’s roller coaster cowboys team so I don’t think there will be anything to worry about as far as winning anything.It's taken close to a decade but it's kind of refreshing to see that he'll actually have to coach for his job for a change.
If these reports are legitimately true, I believe this will finally be Garrett's last year as HC of the Cowboys.
I hope Jerry has a NFC Championship game or bust attitude. Another 12 or 13 win season shouldn't be enough to save Garrett's job. Especially if it comes with another Divisional Round exit.
Yeah pretty much. I will say there is usually a compelling reason for the poor years. 2015 Romo was injured. 2017 Zeke's suspension and Tyron and Lee injuries. We really should have canned him after the 3 8-8 seasons in a row. That should have been it. We've been suffering under this BS ever since.Well this would be the “down year” of Jason Garrett’s roller coaster cowboys team so I don’t think there will be anything to worry about as far as winning anything.
