Sources: Garrett will remain OC in Dallas...

Had a feeling this may happen. Oh well. Jerry's got deep pockets...

Yeah, I just read this in the Post's NFL Insider:
Garrett Staying in Dallas - Mark Maske's NFL Insider

Too bad. I loved the thought of Dallas bleeding out.

Does this mean that he's practically guaranteed the HC job after they get rid of Figurehead Phillips?

Arthur Blank has got some deep pockets too, I wouldn't be so sure he doesn't have a change of heart, if the right deal presents itself.

Yeah, but at some point you can't get into a bargaining match over a guy like Garret. While he might good, he hasn't proven much. Blank would be smart to continue with his search elsewhere.

I would imagine so. He's probably gonna get the Gregg Williams contract- a 7 figure payout if he's not named successor.

I think JJ got on his knees.

you know, that 1 mil. $ clause was just a rumor. he doesn't get any extra $ regardless of whether he becomes head coach or not.

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

Here, it's in writing in this link:

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.

I'm glad he's staying. His playbook is pretty simple:

Play #1 - Hike ball and give ball to the bulldozer, I mean, Marion Barber.
Play #2 - Hike ball to Romo, Romo scramble around and then throw towards TO.
Play #2.1 - If TO is pouting at the time, throw towards Witten.

[BDBohnzie]

The $1M clause is probably there, but the contract doesn't guarantee that Williams is the heir apparent now.

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

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

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.
