Sources: Garrett will remain OC in Dallas...

[GMScud]

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

ESPN - Sources: Garrett turning down head coaching jobs to stay with Cowboys - NFL

[ArtMonkDrillz]

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

[BDBohnzie]

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

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

[stone]

"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?
