Jerry Jones wants Garrett..Dungy Gone?

According to the Dallas Morning News, Jerry Jones will match any offer Jason Garrett recieves. Garrett has reportedly turned down the Ravens head coaching job although they are still negotiating. Garrett is now headed to ATL to interview with Arthur Blank and the Falcons. To me, this should be an easy choice. If Garrett goes to either Baltimore or Atlanta, he will have to rebuild a program, especially in Atlanta. And since Jones has already said that he will match any offer, there are no monetary reason to leave Dallas. After coming off a 13-3 season, Dallas has the players in place and is already a playoff team so why leave? Whether Phillips gets fired this year or not, which it seems like he will, Garrett has to know that he is the heir appartant. What is there to even think about?

Some more NFL coaching news..according to profootballnow.com, Tony Dungy will step down as the Colts coach so that he can follow his kids as they attend school in Tampa Bay. Assistant Coach/QB Coach Jim Caldwell will take over. Congratulations to one of the classiest guys in sports. The NFL and its fans will miss you.

NFL Coaching Notes

-According to Len Pasquarelli on ESPN.com, the Dolphins have officially hired Cowboys Assistant coach Tony Sparano as their new head coach. This is the first (or second if you count all of the firings) move made by Bill Pacells and Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland in an attempt to improve the 1-15 Dolphins. Sparano was contacted in the past to become the Saints, Chargers, and Browns Offensive Cooridinator but was not allowed by Jerry Jones. Sparano was especially disappointed by not being allowed to go to the Big Easy. Sparano wanted to go to Baylor but the feeling was not mutual and instead he finds himself being the head coach of the 2007 NFL laughing stock of the league.
-The Baltimore Ravens have reportedly offered Jason Garrett their head coaching job. According to an NFL source it's about 60-40. The offer should speed up Jerry Jones' decision on whether or not to keep Wade Phillips around. Jones doesn't want to let Garrett go, and remember he was hired before Wade last year, and was even a candidate to be their head coach. Phillips may have blown his only chance to coach "America's Team" after leading them to a 13-3 season but losing to the Giants in their only post season game.
