Report: Garrett out as play-caller

Found January 22, 2013 on 60 Max Power O: Yardbarker Blogger Network
TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys
It’s never a good sign when he owner is calling the shots, Jerry Jones the self appointed general manager said Tuesday that Bill Callahan will be calling the plays for the Dallas Cowboys offense next season. Coach Jason Garrett had been calling the plays, but since the season ended on a sour note, Jones moved in to shake things up. Despite the firing of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, this was a major blow to Garrett, and it sets up a showdown that could quickly become a parting of ways. According to Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com, Jones stated that Garrett wouldn’t be the offensive play caller any longer, and that offensive coordinator/line coach Bill Callahan would take over the duty. Callahan before working for the Cowboys was the offensive line coach for the New York Jets, but he didn’t call plays there. However, Callahan called plays as a head coach for the Oakland Raiders in the 2002 and 2003 seasons. However, the bigger twist is if this is enough to be the straw tha...

  • Jerry Jones is like a politician that tells so many lies he can't remember them all. Of course its a demotion, Jed. Everyone knows it, so why try to spin it. Everyone knows Garrett is your puppet anyway, so why does it matter. Everyone knows you will take credit when the team wins and pass blame when it doesn't. Everyone knows the team will blow up next year, as a result of some of your stupid decisions.

  • Not a surprise nor does it upset me. Garrett's play calling has always been too conservative. He plays not to lose. Jerry wants to change coaches but doesn't want to appear that he fired him. Jerry is a coward and he blames everyone but himself.This Cowboy fan since day one is really getting fed up with all of this.

  • Jerry.... Gallic and I are on the same page. Bill Callahan won't do any better. Do you know why? Because he still has to call the plays with the team YOU put on the field. Keep lying to yourself that you are a "football man". We (old Cowboy's fans) don't really care. In fact, we are having almost as much fun watching you twist in the wind as we did watching Jimmy's team win. On top of the twisting, we get to listen to your verbal diahrea explaining how it is everyone else's fault. This comedy rivals The Big Bang Theory. Till next time, Love ya Jer.

  • I could call plays better than what has been happening. How long did Garrett expect to continue the mediocre performance? I have watched the Boys for 50 years now and I regularly sit on the couch in my armchair coaching role and I routinely make the play call best suited before it is executed. I can't quote how many plays I make a better call on than the latest would-be coach but it's a LOT. Even though I'm retired, at least I'm a TEXAN and proud of what happens in my state as opposed to some of these out of state money making carpetbaggers. Gimme a shot Jerry!!
