Re: Sources: Garrett will remain OC in Dallas...

Personally, I think this is a pretty dumb move on Garrett's part.

First, he had a big year. Head coaching job offers don't generally come after really bad seasons. What if next year isn't so good?

Second, there are no guarantees. Let's say the Cowboys offense struggles next year, but they continue to win. Wade Phillips might get a third year. If the offense continues the struggle the next season, you can feel pretty assured that Jerry Jones isn't going to fire Phillips and hire Garrett instead.

Third, the Rooney Rule. Jerry Jones has to interview at least one minority candidate. He would likely also interview other candidates as well, even if it is just for show... to start. One of those interviews could go so well that Jones decides to hire someone else.

Even if it's for a bad team, I say you take that first opportunity when it's offered to you. It may not come again.

Besides, you can ALWAYS get fired as a head coach and get hired to be an OC almost anywhere. It happens all of the time.

My 2 cents.
