Garrett Turns Down Baltimore Head Coaching Job

[Partial]

To me, this means he is either going to be head coach of the Cowboys or the Dolphins next year.

I just saw the headline on NFL.com and it said he was leaving Baltimore for Atlanta this morning.

if their hire goes right, the Dolphins won't have an opening next year. He could hang around Dallas a while longer and be heir apparent to Wade Phillips, kind of like what Gregg Williams has done in Washington.

After JJ's stern look and approach to the game on Sunday, I am not certain that Phillips will be around next year. Especially if he risks losing Garrett in that time frame.

I don't get what the obsession with Garrett is. He is awfully young and inexperienced.

The Cowboys are winning. You don't raid the 49ers staff right now...(unless you're TT--but if he hadn't done that, would they still be as bad? Hmmm...)

Doesn't matter. Garrett is a golden boy in Dallas. I'd put 10 bucks that he is the coac.

I knew Garrett wasn't going to Baltimore...he's an offensive guy, and what the hell do you have to work with on offense there? That would be a disaster. Billick is ten times the coach Garrett is...and he couldn't get anything done in Baltimore recently.

He probably won't go to Atlanta either...pretty much the same situation.

Williams seems to be the choice in Washington, but there seems to be something going on there. He's been meeting with the Redskins every other day, and a deal hasn't been hammered out. I could see Garrett jumping to Washington if Williams falls through for some reason. Snyder would love to stick that to Jones.

I just read this article in the Baltimore Sun:

http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/football/bal-sp.ravens16jan16,0,283081.story

They say that 1. Garrett is still in the running there in Baltimore--he just didn't say yes yesterday to it; and 2. a guy I've never heard of before named John Harbaugh (any relation to Jim?) , who is the secondary coach for the Philadelphia Eagles, may be the new frontrunner.

I'd sure rather coach the Ravens than the trainwreck that the Falcons are now.

I wonder if anyone is considering any of the Packers coaches? Cowboys 13-3
Packers 13-3.

[MJZiggy]

Maybe the difference is that M3 calls his own plays...and Philbin is a first year coordinator. And no one expected GB to be this good so they flew under the radar most of the season.

Packers 13-3.

Well, they can't interview anyone from any of the teams still in the playoffs until those teams are out. I heard mention of several possible Colts coaches under consideration today for the first time now that they are out.

Sparano just accepted an offer to HC the 'fins:

whoopsie... I just popped out and saw that this already became another thread...

I'm not seeing anywhere that Garrett turned down Baltimore. He left without a contract and is visiting other teams. That's all I've read.

Man, I don't know why he would turn down Baltimore. They're the best time without a coach, at this time. Yes, better then the Redskns. Baltimore was the product of bad coaching and an overall lack of motivation this season. Bring in a good coach and a QB and you've got yourself a playoff caliber team.

A couple of things w/ Garrett to consider:

*He was hired to be the future coach of the Cowboys.

*His play calling in games this year has been odd enough including their last lost against the Giants that JJ doesn't think he's quite ready for head coach yet.

I bet that JJ matches any monetary offer from any other team just to keep him on staff and groom him to take over as early as next year. We will find out if it is the case soon enough.
