Garrett Watch Thread...

[bbgun]

Werder had been on the Cowboys beat off and mostly on for a long time. He has sources you'd have to think. I trust this story.

If it was the same shithead who tweeted that the entire staff had been fired, I'd be worried.

I guess they’ll interview Richard to pay token service to the Rooney rule as usual

I heard on 105.3 today that McDaniels said he won't take any job he doesn't have input into the GM side so that rules us out

I wouldn't want any part of him being a GM.

I don't either, just reporting what I heard. He'd have to have one helluva explanation for the way he fucked over the Colts for me to ever consider him

God this Garrett thing has beaten me down to the point I'd even be thrilled with McDaniels.

Ha! Maybe that was the point of all this.

Maybe it’s just an effort at redemption after Saturday’s swing and a miss regarding Jaguars coach Doug Marrone. Regardless, ESPN has taken a tweet from ESPN’s Ed Werder and turned it into a big splash that the Cowboys are firing Jason Garrett. Even if that’s not what Werder tweeted.

Tweeted Werder on Thursday night: “Cowboys Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones have moved slowly and with ‘abundance of care and respect’ for Jason Garrett. That phase expected to conclude soon with Garrett not part of organization. Next phase to involve candidate interviews will begin quickly thereafter.”

And so ESPN has taken that tweet and twisted it into this: “Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and executive vice president Stephen Jones have decided that Jason Garrett will not be part of the organization moving forward, a source tells @WerderEdESPN.”

But that isn’t what Werder reported. While it indeed may be the final outcome, it’s not what he reported.

Either way, Garrett and the Joneses were due to meet today, and they didn’t. The situation continues to be confusing and confounding and if the ultimate goal is to respect Garrett the end result has been a protracted twisting in the wind that arguably disrespects him far more than a certain and decisive action would.

If they’re going to fire him they need to just do it and get it over with. Everyone expects it, and now ESPN is acting like it’s a done deal when it’s still not clear whether it is. So do it or don’t do it; the uncertainty helps no one.

Yea Florio seems pissed Werder reported this for some reason. Maybe he scooped him?

All I know is it's not because Florio is a Cowboys fan because he's def not based on his past reporting and he has put out multiple articles over the years criticizing Garrett

To muck it up, tomorrow morning Jerruh to may have to say that they have not officially made a decision on Garrett’s status to reject ESPN’s news....and then come out on Monday on say they’ve officially decided to part ways with Garrett

That would also kill Werder's career he's been trying to get back since the espn layoffs

Just tinfoil hatting here, but I wonder if someone inside the org (Goof Son) saw Jerry waffling, maybe on keeping Garrett as HC, maybe because he didn't want a more crowded front office diluting his influence on Jerruh, and just ran this story to Werder to make this a done deal and make Jerruh and Pube abandon plans to weasel out of accountability.

It's just a matter of time. Jerry just wants to have his press conference.

WTF.
Can this charade keep going on thru the 14th? Every coach is free that has been linked to the Cowboys outside of lil Joshie.
I don’t buy the coy game is for publicity- it’s more the fact Jerry is going to get skewered for holding on to a coach for 10 years telling everyone how great he was, then having to admit Garrett was a colossal failure by having to fire him. Because that also adds another black mark to Jones slate as a GM.
It’s always about Jones, no matter the situation.
