Sources: Garrett will remain OC in Dallas...

Wait, Gregg Williams' $1M clause was a rumor?? I could have sworn I read that somewhere....

Here, it's in writing in this link:

ESPN - Williams to get $1 million bonus if he's not successor - NFL (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2284695)


you know what, i always thought it was true but i was listening to the john riggins show the other day and he was saying it was not true, that it was just a rumor . anyways, he is my source.;) i don't know what to believe.

PFT is reporting that garret will make 3 or 4 mil. a year while wade phillips only makes 3

"Williams did not receive assurances from owner Dan Snyder, even implicitly, that he would eventually succeed current head coach Joe Gibbs."


Here's the full article:

Good call by Garrett to stay put. Baltimore and Atlanta aren't exactly the most desirable teams to take over right now.

Talk about cutting your balls off. The whole thing with Garrett that I find funny is that when his offense was new (first 1/2-3/4 of the season) he was putting up crazy numbers. As time wore on and defensive coordinators got an idea of what he was trying to do, his offense was less and less effective. Point is, he never adjusted. Does that scream Head Coach to anybody?

I'm not so sure it was a great call. Baltimore would have been a good fit for him. The offense is old over there and he could have changed things. The D is stout (aging sure), so he could have done a lot of good there.
In Dallas he will be EXPECTED to do great. If anything happens, he'll be blasted more so than he would deserve. Sure he's a homey there, and he will be the next head coach there, but what if Wade isn't let go for a few years?

Either way, the expectations are high in the NFL. All in all, he's better off with the situation in Dallas. In another year or so, you're talking about rebuilding the Ravens program.

I guess that is just where I would prefer to be. I'd rather rebuild with my players, than to use the players given to me by someone else.
He's got a long way to fall right now with Dallas, but he has almost no where to go but up in Baltimore, and Baltimore has some talent still lingering (unlike Atlanta). I guess that's my thought. Plus, I have a head coach mentality, and now he's stuck in the OC position for at least 2 more years if not longer.
Also, if the Cowboys lose next year, it will likely be because the offense took a nose dive, so why would they promote the reason they got worse? He HAS to maintain his current level on offense, and quite frankly, I don't think it's possible. Look at how poorly the offense ran at the end of the season. He was getting figured out.

I think one thing we can almost bank on is that the Cowboys won't go 13-3 next year.

Why not? They've got money to upgrade positions such as WR, OL and RB, 2 first round picks in the draft. Rumor has it that they are interested in Michael Turner RB San Diego, they could go after Roy Williams, draft some OL and be better next year. Garrett is a pretty good OC. I wouldn't be surprised if they go 13-3 next year.
