Sources: Garrett will remain OC in Dallas...

Had a feeling this may happen. Oh well. Jerry's got deep pockets...

Yeah, I just read this in the Post's NFL Insider:
Garrett Staying in Dallas - Mark Maske's NFL Insider (http://blog.washingtonpost.com/nflinsider/2008/01/garrett_staying_in_dallas.html?nav=rss_blog)

Too bad. I loved the thought of Dallas bleeding out.

Does this mean that he's practically guaranteed the HC job after they get rid of Figurehead Phillips?

I'm glad he's staying. His playbook is pretty simple:

Play #1 - Hike ball and give ball to the bulldozer, I mean, Marion Barber.
Play #2 - Hike ball to Romo, Romo scramble around and then throw towards TO.
Play #2.1 - If TO is pouting at the time, throw towards Witten.

Arthur Blank has got some deep pockets too, I wouldn't be so sure he doesn't have a change of heart, if the right deal presents itself.

I would imagine so. He's probably gonna get the Gregg Williams contract- a 7 figure payout if he's not named successor.

I think JJ got on his knees.

you know, that 1 mil. $ clause was just a rumor. he doesn't get any extra $ regardless of whether he becomes head coach or not.

Yeah, but at some point you can't get into a bargaining match over a guy like Garret. While he might good, he hasn't proven much. Blank would be smart to continue with his search elsewhere.

Wait, Gregg Williams' $1M clause was a rumor?? I could have sworn I read that somewhere....

Here, it's in writing in this link:

ESPN - Williams to get $1 million bonus if he's not successor - NFL (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2284695)

The $1M clause is probably there, but the contract doesn't guarantee that Williams is the heir apparent now.
