If you're firing Groh midseason the only really likely scenario is an internal promotion until the end of the season.

EaglesPeteC Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 The only reason to fire Groh before the end of the season is to see what Duce might be as an OC. Otherwise, just wait until the end of the yearΒ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he when he's the king at OU and basically answers to nobody?Β This is a wrong fan opinion that gets disproved time and time (and time, and time, and time) again. But no matter how many times players and coaches speak to how Jerry is one of the best owners in the NFL, it still gets brought up as fact: Bill Parcells: Quote Β When asked about the perception of Jerry clashing with head coaches, he had this to say. "Oh yeah, definitely. I think itβs distorted," Parcells said. "I think thereβs a definite misperception. I just think everyone thinks things are a certain way. I didnβt see it to be that way. I think Jerry is a good businessmen and a good listener. What you have to do is make sense to him. Youβve got to make sense to him. If he thinks youβre making sense, heβll alter his opinion. I enjoyed him. I like him. I like him a lot." "I liked my experience there," Parcells said. "It didnβt turn out perfect from a record-standpoint. I understand all of that. But I learned a lot and I enjoyed working there. "Jerry and I are pretty good friends. I donβt know whether or not people know that. We talk a little bit. I wouldnβt say frequently. We talk a little bit. We talked recently. Itβs good. And Iβm close with Stephen [Jones], too. I enjoyed working there with the Joneses. They were supportive and tried to help." Quote "I spent four years with him," Switzer said, "won a Super Bowl and when I left I said: 'When I got here you told me there were 500 coaches who could win a Super Bowl with this team. Well I did it and there's 499 left out there [so go get one].' But anyway we've had fun. Jerry's a great guy." Wade Phillips: Quote What's your favorite story about Jerry Jones? Β Well, I don't know if it's my favorite. They're a great family, with Charlotte and Stephen and all of them. They are a great, close-knit family and I think people don't know [that] about Jerry. Yeah, he fired me. That's OK. That's fine. But when my dad died, he sent [my son] Wes, who was working for the Cowboys then [as the tight ends coach], he sent Wes and his family down on his personal plane down to the funeral in Goliad. He paid for the meal that day so everybody could have something to eat for the funeral. I'll never forget that. He didn't have to do that. He didn't ask me to do that. He just did it because he's a family guy and that's what people don't see about him. The literal only coach that he didnt get along with was Jimmy - and that was pushing 30 years ago!! Here is aΒ Great time lineΒ of their divorce. Here is how a 3rd party describes it: Quote Switzer said when he arrived in Dallas the coaches told him they didn't even know Jones because Johnson wanted it that way. "Why do you think that they got a divorce? Jimmy is the one that cheated on him," Switzer said. "If you want to talk about a marriage here, you go back and look at all the negative things that [Johnson] saidβ¦the things he did and the way he treated Jerry, and he's the owner. What are you talking about?" Β Switzer added: "Jimmy and Jerry had a poor relationship and Jerry finally got fed up with it, sucked up his guts, and fired his ***, simple as that. A bunch of coaches won't even speak to Jerry because they're worried about Jimmy getting on their *** or firing their ***. Hey, I'm telling you, that's how it was. [Jones] got tired of living in that world." Β Quote Urban Meyer would be a bad hire. So hopefully you guys get him then.Β Why would he be a bad hire?

It also like I said depends how Jerry handles it, if they hover on the decision to fire Garrett like some teams have in the past or wait to get interviews in with playoff teamsβ coaches...they could miss out. Especially if they make it to the wildcard week, Skins and others will get a week head start and theyβll miss their opportunity to interview those bye week teams.

Only thing the NFL and other leagues have is itβs the top of the ladder in competitiveness. Most top College Football jobs Β and a lot of college basketball jobs are better. Professionally speaking though Cowboys job is near the tops in American sports in a lot of categories. The biggest drawback is a lot of the real football stuff.

So it doesnt apply.Β I think any college coach will have some reservations of coming to the league when they could just stay and get paid the same. I think itβs smart to go for someone who isnβt a wet noodle like Garrett is, an aggressive coach would do really well there. But I think itβs a lot of pressure to rest your chance on the pros on THIS Cowboys team. Itβs not a job in a vacuum. You have a 10-15 QB who will get signed to big money, a RB who just got paid and is already looking chubby and slower, potentially losing your one real threat in Cooper (who is injured a lot). And a spotty defensive roster With weird resource priorities (LB). And this is really it for your first 3 years there. As a coach you wonβt have crazy money to attract these top FAs, they rarely do. And if itβs a college coach, most pros wonβt come flocking there anyway until they show they can win.Β Β 8 hours ago, Matts4313 said: Quote I think the Chargers job, in position to get a new QB and a talented roster in Southern California is pretty nice, but Spanos sucks pretty hard as an owner.

Whenever they are doing well his leathery mug is what you see on tv, he gets interviewed by people. Heβs not really the definition of hands off. Even if he is better about it. As far as facilities go itβs hard to beat, but most college campuses, including the sooners, have pretty damn good facilities. Which on a personal level I find gross with how high tuition is in the country...but thatβs not what we are talking about here ha Β Β Β End of the day I think Reilly will probably use the flirting with the league to get a new deal and stay.
