Whiskey Pimp Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Rooney rule? What does the Rooney rule have to do with Garret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 What does the Rooney rule have to do with Garret? Well I'm assuming JJ has (unofficially) promised him the HC job in a couple years. Kinda circumvents the Rooney Rule, but I'm sure they wouldn't be the first team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

major-tom Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Wise (non)move. If not the Cowboys in the next couple of years, there will be better jobs available to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misunderstood Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 awesome move ...now if they could only lock up Wade Phillips for another 10 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda circumvents the Rooney Rule, but I'm sure they wouldn't be the first team. The Rooney rule has its Merits but in a case like this its sad to see the guy get interviewed under it when he has no shot of getting the job. I think it was Matt Millen a few years back that just went ahead and hired someone without adhering to the Rooney rule and I think he got in trouble for it.

ROYALWITCHEESE Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Wise (non)move. If not the Cowboys in the next couple of years, there will be better jobs available to him. That's provided the rest of the league doesn't catch on to his schemes, if they haven't already judging by the lack of late season success. HC positions don't come around that often. You have to strike while the iron is hot and take them when they pop up. Who's to say they don't flop on offense next year due to an injury or something else. He made a mistake IMO, but time will tell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditkaless Wonders Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 So now Wade Phillips is a lame Duck coach and all the players know it. Brilliant move by Jerrah. Take a team with great players but lacking in heart and discipline and let them know their coach is powerless, merely keeping the seat warm for the guy down the hall. I can't see how that will go bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad part is if it flops or injuries happen he may have blow his changes for another 5-10 years. I just hate for people to start to only see him as an OC only or not give him a chance later because he blow off two offers. And figure he might just waste their time and money like he did the Falcons and Ravens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this day and age of produce or your out, there always seems to be at least one HC position open. But this is a gamble, things could go south and lower your value. But, win an SB, and the price takes off..... And let's face it, Dallas has a legitimate shot at doing this in the next couple of years.

Garrett should have taken the Baltimore job. Atlanta is completely f'ed up and no one currently in football should take that job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
