Cowboys owner Jerry Jones seems to be intent on giving coach Jason Garrett another contract Womens Leighton Vander Esch Jersey , and Jones seems to be doing his best to persuade himself and others that a significant demand would exist for Garrett’s services.Appearing on 105.3 The Fan, Jones claimed that, if Garrett currently were available, he wouldn’t be available for long.“If Jason Garrett had been out on聽the market two聽weeks ago, he would鈥檝e had five聽offers for head coaching,” Jones said. “I know that.”Four years ago, after a loss to the Packers in the divisional round, Garrett became a free agent. There was no buzz about anyone else trying to hire him, no effort by anyone to lure him from Dallas. He instead re-signed with Dallas, and if he were a free agent right now that’s presumably what he would do again.Especially since there likely wouldn’t be many/any other offers for his services. Especially since Garrett’s offense is regarded as simplistic and unimaginative. Especially since Garrett’s coaching staff failed to spot and remove a glaring tell from the alignment of the defensive line.None of what Jones said means that he’ll give Garrett another new deal.鈥淚 don鈥檛 have any comments this morning about extensions Michael Gallup Jersey White , because my options are open,” Jones said. “Nobody knows, because I don鈥檛 know this morning, and I鈥檓 the last say.”Jones and Garrett coexist because Jones likes being able to remind everyone that he’s the last say, and Garrett is willing to let him. They’ve done so for more than eight years, but it’s fair to ask whether Garrett has taken this team as far as he possibly can, and whether the Cowboys will punch a ticket back to the NFC title game only if someone else is coaching the team. In one breath, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones insists that coach Jason Garrett would have had five job offers if he’d been available two weeks ago. In the next breath, Jones refuses to rule out that Garrett will be available two weeks from now.So what’s going on? We’ve got an idea. And it involves the head coach of a team that is still playing.Here’s what Jones told 105.3 The Fan in Dallas when asked to commit to the 2019 return of his head coach, with emphasis added:聽“Why would I put some kind of statement out that says this is what we鈥檙e going to do ? This is the time when these things are thought about. This is the time when they are chewed on. This is when you may see in the area of personnel or in the area of coaching. And I鈥檓 not trying to be cute here. I鈥檓 just saying that one of the advantages that we have is that we can operate with that kind of flexibility.”So what opportunity could arise next week? Short of the cloning of Sean McVay or the reanimation of Vince Lombardi Dak Prescott Jersey , the universe of potential coaches is set. The universe of available coaches, however, will soon grow.After Sunday, an AFC finalist and an NFC finalist will lose. Next week, coaches will be available, in theory, who aren’t available now.And given that a month of reports has speculated on Saints coach Sean Payton moving on and, more specifically, linked him to the Cowboys, it’s fair to consider Jones’ comments through that lens. Is Jones suggesting that https://www.thecowbo...-elliott-jersey , if the Saints lose, the Cowboys would explore upgrading from Jason Garrett to Sean Payton?Despite the practical complications that arise when trying to fire one coach and hire another (Rooney Rule compliance would become an obvious issue), Jerry Jones tends to do whatever Jerry Jones wants to do. He has said he’d write a huge check if it would guarantee a Super Bowl win, and whether those huge checks are to the league for violating the Rooney Rule, to Payton to lure him to town, or both, Jones’ cryptic yet loaded comments from Tuesday suggest that he’s thinking about making a run at hiring Payton.Of course, Payton has said or done nothing to suggest an inclination to leave the Saints. But this isn’t about Payton; it’s about Jones. If Jones has decided that he’s willing to blow the coaching compensation curve in order to make it happen (and to give up draft picks to get Payton from the Saints), nothing stops Jones from at least trying.And that may be the only way to properly comprehend the things that Jones had to say on Tuesday when talking about his current head coach.
