@cowboyfan66 White guys get interviewed all of the time.

@ dccowboy was garrett loyal to phillips?

All of you that is bringing up T.O. what coach has been able to control him? besides that was three years ago. Bottomline I expect Garrett to be done in 3yrs or maybe 2

Haley didn’t get the job in Dallas either and was sent packing to the Cardinals. Where was all the speculation and indignation then?

Oh, that’s right. He’s just an overprivileged kid who got there on the coat tails of his dad.

Funny the article says he was let go and that was the gist of the article and the entire point. I’ve always wondered what a diehard Cowboys fan sounds like and now I know. You refuse to acknowledge anything underhanded by your beloved team. You sound like a Packer fan.

I like Ray alot….just not for the HC of my team.

The guy has had alot of bad things happen in his life in the last 5 years…wish him the best.

But I do think the NFL has done a good job in recent years in the hiring of black coaches. They ahve also improved with the African American QB situation. It took time, but they did get there. Maybe college football has more of a problem with diversity of coaches.

normally i dont comment on the asinine nature of some of the opinions offered by the PFT writers, but i couldnt pass this one up. IT’S THE OCs JOB TO PLACATE HIS PLAYERS AND FIND WAYS TO GET THEM THE BALL. the receivers coach’s job is to apprise them of the game plan for the week and get them prepared to carry it out. They (players) may consult with their position coach during the game to have him talk to the OC about some adjustments that could be made in response to some things they are seeing on the field at the time (simply because its more likely to happen if a coach does this as opposed to a player, especially one like TO, chirping in his ear about “get me the ball, i’m open”)
If Garrett’s such a hot coaching commodity, why would he leave it up to a position coach to control and placate HIS RECEIVERS????? beyond ridiculous, way beyond..

Evidence obviously doesn’t matter here. ALL of it proves your theory wrong yet you continue to say it wasn’t true. I am a Cowboys fan and hate Jerry Jones too but sometimes when you are wrong, you are wrong. Move on.

The amount of attention being paid to the fate of a position coach is beyond absurd. What is this the THIRD article covering it? Are you kidding?

Here’s some more speculation for you.

How about this: Sherman interviews for HC and does well, doesn’t get the gig and decides he has a shot at being a HC somewhere in the near future. If he goes back to being just the WR coach he pretty much gets buried. The likely thing to do is try to get an OC job where he can display his HC apptitude. Dallas isn’t going to have an OC under Garrett (or if they do he won’t have traditional OC duties like play calling and designing the offense), so Sherman has no choice but to refuse to return as WR coach and has to look elsewhere. If he returns as WR coach Dallas can prevent him from interviewing (most likely they would not, but the possibility exists) for other positions or teams would ignore him because he has a job.

Or how about this: Maybe Sherman got pissed because he doesn’t want to be just a position coach after interviewing for HC and being told he ‘did well’.

I think the real story is that Sherman is a Jerry hire, not a Garrett hire. Sherman inserted himself between the WRs and Garrett last season and the impression I get is he more or less took the role as ‘player advocate’ against Garrett. If that is true I completely understand why Garrett wouldn’t want him around. The Assistant Coaches HAVE to be loyal to the OC/HC. How long would a position coach last if it were Cowher? Gruden? Shanahan?

Another point is that now every player and coach now knows who’s in charge – Garrett. They now know that they ‘work’ for Garrett, not Jerry or Stephen. Its a simple and elegant message that established Garrett as the Head Coach, not a puppet.

Most high level execs coming to a new position will want to have ‘their guys’ around them and look for an opportunity to establish themselves as the guy in charge. That usually resolves to one of the ‘old guard’ being let go. Sherman was not loyal to Garrett and most likely wasn’t ‘on board’ with what Garrett wanted to do to toughen up this team. So, he’s gone.
