Jones Says Garrett Will Return As Head Coach For 2014

As everybody on the board pointed out yesterday as well.

You gonna take that, 1big? F him up!

I will wait until wrekenball84 chimes in before I decide.

Jigga and I go way back, he's fine.

I'm not going to say with 100% certainty, but I'm pretty damn sure that's racist.

If I were less white I would be more certain, for sure.

"It does not have a bearing on whether or not he will be our coach next year"

That does not say he will be back no matter what, that says that JJ will make a decision not based on wins and loses for the rest of the season but on some other criteria that only JJ knows.

You are right it doesn't say it but odds are Garrett will be back. I think Jones feels that Garrett is good for the team and he just needs to find the right combination of coaches to surround him with. That's not my assessment of the situation, however.

I will be sorely disappointed if Garrett is back.

Agreed. I think this is another indication that Jones really badly wants Garrett to be HC and will look for any excuse to keep him in place. I do think there is probably a scenario or two where Garrett could get fired (we go belly up and finish with 5-7 wins), but I think Jones' statement probably should be interpreted to mean that even in borderline scenarios like if we finish 8-8 and out of the playoffs Garrett will likely return.

It's a damn shame too, because while Jones has been dicking around with an overmatched, under qualified and under performing HC, we are losing out on the availability of good coaches like Andy Reid.
