I can already hear Jerah saying directly after he fires coach Garrett, that it is ACTUALLY a step forward!! Truth be told, it really WILL be a step forward towards Garrett seeking his long-lost self respect. JJ really knows how to suck the life, right down to the marrow out of all who dare to become HC of the ‘Boys. It is TRULY painful to watch.

Perhaps now Jason will become a better clock manager. At least he better because he is out of excuses.

Callahan is promoted to head coach… “But that’s not a demotion for Jason, it’s really a positive step forward for him” haha

Hey Jason, the next step after “taking away the keys” is usually “cutting your allowance”. Remember?

Yes right. Just ask Jim Zorn.

Jones says: “Make no mistake about it, when I hired Jason to come into the organization as a coach he was hired specifically for his skills for his abilities to call the plays. ”

Title of the article says: Jones says taking keys (read play calling) from Garrett a step forward.

Step forward for who?

I wonder if Jerry and Stephan might be interested in John Gruden as a head coach. Bringing in Kiffin and teaming him up with Gruden could be very interesting, and it would make a huge P.R. splash which Jerry loves. I am not saying it’s going to happen but I wonder how many times the thought has gone through ole JJ’s mind.

What I don’t understand is why now there is so much love for Garrett as a play caller from the media and fans. All last season and early this season there was this big clamor for Jerry to take the duties away from Garrett. Hell the great Cowboys’ messiah Jimmy Johnson even did his big spill on the fox show saying how Garrett needs someone else calling plays so he could focus on being the Head Coach. Media and fans laughed at Jerry and said he was crazy for his belief that a head coach should be calling the plays on either the offense or defense. Fast forward to now and a new play caller is being brought in, now Jerry is cutting Garrett’s legs from under him, he is neutering his head coach…
As for Garrett’s brother, what is it that he did so great while being a part of this staff that he should be absolved from any changes or upgrades being made? Can’t answer with Witten, Witten was great before John Garrett what did Garrett do with Phillips, Bennett, Hanna? Who has he developed to push or challenge Witten?
Im not a big Jerry fan but it seems that no matter what decision he makes the media and fans are going to jump all over him and say he is wrong, even when he does what they say he should do….

……………………….
Amen brotha…damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

I agree with Jerry. Jerry took the keys and he is letting Garrett ride in the car when Garrett should probably be kicked out of the car to find his own ride.

Poor Garrett nothing… he was hired to be a stooge and that is what he is becoming… next year the Cowboys will have to be creative to hide Jones’ hand on the sideline that controls his puppet head coach.
I don’t mind it one bit.. it’s fun to laugh at a once-great organization erode and crumble into the rubble at the hands of ONE PERSON.
The days of Tom Landry are so far gone they are a distant memory… too bad.

Even Al Davis didn’t meddle this much. Jerry Jones has successfully made Al Davis look like the much lesser of two evils.

Someone needs to take the keys from Jerry Jones. But it’s always fun to watch a train wreck.

How did Jerry Jones get to be so wealthy with such poor people/managerial skills.

There is only one decision maker in Dallas. All the rest is just smoke to obscure that fact.

A step forward is not necessarily a positive development when you’re standing at edge of a cliff.

Wow. What a joke. The cowboys will never win anything with this clown in charge. He is completely over riding everyone he puts in charge.

Wow way to end a story filled with popular perception. Of course no one on this page actually knows anything about the coaching staff in Dallas or how they work because you are all sheep to sportscenter and nfl.com and this place. Perception thats all you people that follow other teams have and thats why you get the moronic comments like the ones above.

In the world of Tim Brown, Jerry Jones may be trying to sabotage his own team…

In 30+ years I have never wavered in my support for the Cowboys…until this offseason. Jerry is setting 2013 up to be his success (for all the changes HE made) or Jason’s failure (for his inability to take the “great” pieces he was given and win).

Yeah having Callahan call the plays is the answer. Good job Jerry!!!

None of this matters as long as Jones & his son are running the team as GM & GM jr. Sad that this dude can’t see what a joke he is playing GM. Most expensive franchise in sports and he is barely 500 at home and hasn’t won a playoff game in years.

I’m a Cowboys fan, but if Jerry promotes Bill Callahan to head coach whenever Jason gets fired next year… that may be the final straw.
