2018 Random Cowboys Stuff Thread...

I didn't catch why though.

I know the DMN is now completely worthless now.

I did notice that he stopped doing the post game on the ticket this year as well. Maybe he's trying to dial back some of his work to take it a little easier.

If he leaves for Houston and is successful you get the double whammy. Dallas getting worse and Houston better. Since I like to watch meltdowns that would almost be worth seeing.

That's likely to happen anyway regardless of what happens in Houston's front office. Watson is the real deal. They're probably a playoff team almost every year as long as he stays healthy.

The difficult thing is his health though. Watson is a talent but he isn't really built to take a beating.

Judd Garrett was a loser white RB, Garrett a career backup with one shining moment to his credit and their father was a scout who never hit big on a player. The old man was a big part of the shitty Saints teams in the 1970s for chrissakes.

Judd had a cup of coffee in Dallas too. The nepotism is strong in this organization.

Just coming to post re: Sturm. This is objectively awful

Yeah, Sturm was the only Dallas area journalist I could tolerate.

 

[p1_]

This is awful.

He was the only guy there who actually wrote worthwhile articles.

Im sure he'll keep writing his stuff. Just not for that rag ass publication.

 

[Cotton]

I wonder if he'll write on his blog.

This is what I'm hoping. Hell, before he wrote for the DMN his articles were much easier to format to post on here, so there's that. Plus, we don't have to jack with the DMN's pay wall anymore.

Can we deny them?

If I'm McClay I absolutely take that job. What's the incentive in hanging around here in Dallas when a real GM job is available to you?

Plus he wouldn't be handcuffed by these Arkansas hillbillies.

I don't believe so.

 

[1bigfan13]

I don't know. I thought there was a provision in these NFL contracts that allows coaches and personnel guys to take other jobs provided those other jobs are considered promotions.

This would clearly be a promotion, IMO.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Nope.

Just gotta hope McClay doesn't read here.

Used to be but that changed. So for example you don't have to let a QB coach go to be an offensive coordinator somewhere else. The exception to that is head coaching positions.

But there may be an exception for GM jobs in the personnel world.

You're correct.

Uh, his respect for Garrett, obviously.

Any other stupid questions?

 

[Cowboysrock55]

You're correct.

Not with coaches, you don't have to let an assistant go unless they are becoming a head coach.

Wise observation.

There are many lives that have been touched by Garrett's special brand of inspiration.

He's not a coach.
