Do you have a source for this? (Not doubting you, I'd just like to read more about it)
The entertainment value of the Cowboys has less to do with football with each passing day, smh.......

We all did
Thanks bkeavs for posting that. Sounds like Mortensen is backing up what you're saying.
Also, I've known bkeavs for going on 5 years on a number of different forums. He's never pulled the "sources" routine or otherwise sought internet head pats like some Hostile does at every turn.
Not saying he's legit, because how could we ever know. Just saying I'll give him the benefit of the doubt unless he gets egg on his face like Hostile does all the time.

It does hint at Jon Gruden coming.
This organization is more confusing than Looper.

It seems the moves Jerry Jones talked about making when the season ended are taking shape. Gone is running backs coach Skip Peete. Gone is defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.
On Friday, the Cowboys hired veteran coach Monte Kiffin to run the defense in place of Ryan. Now comes word from ESPN's Chris Mortensen this morning that tight ends coach John Garrett is looking for other gigs or might be pushed out by Jones.
John Garrett, the older brother of head coach Jason Garrett, almost left last season when he interviewed for the Miami Dolphins offensive coordinators position. John Garrett stayed and received a promotion if you will, a title, by being named passing game coordinator in addition to his tight end duties.
It seems Jones wants to make more changes and he wants John Garrett out of here and if that's the case, there might be a power struggle between the head coach and the owner.
Jason Garrett knows what he's doing in terms of running a football team. However, his game-day operations: play calling and game management skills aren't the best in the world. He could get better, but when you have an owner that wants results now after consecutive seasons of finishing 8-8, change is coming.
Garrett is a process guy. Sometimes when you're a process guy it takes time. It goes slowly. The NFL is not a slow league unless you're coaching in Pittsburgh, for the New York Giants and New England Patriots.
NFL owners want results and want them now.
Jones' changes with the staff, and it could lead to Garrett giving up the play calling duties, could mean a compromise on some issues.
Is Garrett trying to save face by keeping his play calling duties but letting his brother, John, go elsewhere?
Would Jones just take the play calling duties away from Garrett and also dump John Garrett too?
It would be hard to bring anyone else in to call the plays given the contract status of Bill Callahan, who has the most experience at that of anyone on the staff. Quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson is returning to the staff and is a calming influence for quarterback Tony Romo.
Would Garret give up the play calling duties for Wilson?
These are things to consider as the conference semifinals are ongoing this weekend.
The real story might be in Jerry Jones' office where he's trying to implement change regardless of who likes it.

I agree that Hos is kinda pathetic. not sure why anyone believes anything he says. CZ should ban him.
back on topic...I think the writing is one the wall for JG. He is not allowed to hire his own coaches or call his own plays. There really is not much point in him being there.

So are they trying to win games or protect Ginger's feelings here?
The two things are mutually exclusive because John, Wade Wilson and even Callahan have not done shit here. They could all be gone and it wouldn't effect a thing.
I def agree that Jerry is trying to save money here by keeping ginger around. This has to be a headache though. The GM shouldn't be in a power struggle to get a better coaching staff.

Why the hell would the Garrett brothers want to work together and risk a situation like this?

They are not talented enough to find work on their own in this league.

The potential of a relationship fracture isn't worth it. They'll now resent each other one way or another.

Well, John got hired at UVA (a very shitty barely D1 program) based on connections with Al Groh.
Groh himself was about to be fired almost every season from '06 on, so John surely wouldn't have been employed at all if he stuck it out there. He had zero nfl opportunities. Hell after UVA finally canned the staff, Groh himself barely caught on as a coordinator at GA tech and he was fired mid-season. That whole UVA staff will be coaching DIII or high school soon.
This was John's only shot and he damn sure took it. My problem is, as a fan, where in any of that story does it show he was ever qualified to work in the pros? It's not anomaly that we haven't developed TEs here. This is all just nepotism and back scratching.

What?
He spent 12 years In the nfl before Virginia.
He was a coach in cincy, then jake plummers qb coach in arz and then back with cincy as tight ends coach and then a scout
Your insane obsession with the Garrett's is frightening
