If this is Jason Garrett's last year (please let it be) Jerry will offer the Job to Lincoln Riley (puke), If he doesn't take the job, right on their back porch coaching the Dallas XFL team is Bob Stoops... One of these 2 will be the next Cowboys coach. Why do the football gods hate me?
orngblud save yourself some worry over what Jerrah might do. He doesn't know now and will not until the morning he wakes up and says enough is enough. A lot will depend on how Kingsbury and the crybaby do this season. If that experiment produces something positive I suspect he will offer the job to Moore or Richard first and then Riley. The issue with Stoops is Jerrah hires the assistant coaches not the HC. I doubt Stoops would put up with that. If the Arizona experiment crashes and burns Jones will either go with Moore/Richard or some retread.
I agree, except my recipe for saving worry is to tell Jerry and the entire NFL to go f**k themselves. Turn off your TV and do something productive on Sunday afternoons. I did it when Jerry hired Barry. It's pretty great.
orngblud, your scenario sounds like a win-win to me: It would be a severe blow to ou and it would likely fix what ails the Cowboys. I've got nothing against Riley personally, except for the fact that he outcoaches us.
And if Blake is not available, perhaps Bob Stoops can call in a couple of favors and get ou to hire Mike as HC.
Not sure Riley would leave OU. Bob certainly had offers. When you can make 5M+ what does another 2-3M mean? I mean someone offers you 25M it's more money than anyone needs to be happy. All I need is a cabin on the lake and a kick *** bass boat. 500K and I wouldn't need ****. Why mess with Jerry when you don't need to?
