If Bill Cowher is available, Jason Garrett's Cowboys resume loses luster

[madinmaryland]

IRVING – The Cowboys can win out, giving interim coach Jason Garrett a 7-1 record. They can stack good days, a favorite Garrett expression, as high as the eye can see.

None of that assures Garrett of having the "interim" removed from his title. This is not a one-man race.

The dynamics of the Cowboys' pending coaching-search game dramatically changed Thursday. Bill Cowher , a Super Bowl winner, told USA Today that "I'm open to listen to opportunities" and indicated he is willing to return to coaching after a four-year sabbatical.

That scurrying sound you hear is Cowboys owner-general manager Jerry Jones going through his files to make sure he has every bit of contact information on Cowher. All bets are off in this pageant.

Whom would you hire?

A coach who ranks among the top 20 in wins and winning percentage, with at least 100 games, in NFL history, or a coach with eight games of experience in the hot seat?

Hmmm.

[Liberal_Dog]

1. Would Cowher Be Content With Jerry Jones Making Personnel Decisions?

I wonder.

[madinmaryland]

2. Probably for as long as Jimmy Johnson was.

[El Supremo]

3. Jerry Jones on 60 Minutes tomorrow.

Hmmmmmmmm.

[madinmaryland]

4. Some douchebag in GD told me it was Frank Gifford and not Jerry Jones.

5. Sorry, mad. Pat Bowlen has deeper pockets than Mr Jones

Despite the fact he'll be paying THREE coaches:

Shannahan(sp), McDaniels and whoever the new guy is.

My guess (hope) is Cowher at Denver.

We'll see.

[madinmaryland]

6. Not Quite. Bowlen has his eyes on Urban Meyer, who can coach St. Tebow to

the promised land on the mile high mountain!

[liberaltrucker]

7. We suffering Broncos fans will take what we can get at this point

[AndrewP]

12. Meyer has some medical issues

Better beware

[KG]

8. cowher is taking the panthers job.

you read it here first!

[madinmaryland]

9. And Fox is going to Dallas to assist and eventually take over for

Jason Garrett.

[bluedigger]

10. Cowhers going to the Vikings.

Everybody knows that.

[Dulcinea]

11. Not gonna happen.

If Cowher coaches next year, it'll be in Carolina. He'd never tolerate Jones's constant meddling.

[AndrewP]

13. As long as Mike Tomlin is in Pittsburgh...whatever to the rest of you!
