That went well, yes? Well, no. It didn’t.<\/p>\n

Jason Garrett has been booted as the Dallas Cowboys head football coach. The Cowboys have told Garrett his contract won’t be renewed. He’s out of a job.<\/p>\n

However, all of this is coming from media reports. The Cowboys’ ownership hasn’t made a formal announcement just yet.<\/p>\n

Jumpin’ jiminy. The owner of the NFL franchise, Jerry Jones, has made a mess of it. No surprise there. The owner operates on a clumsiness quotient that has virtually no rival in the National Football League.<\/p>\n

I won’t get into the Xs and Os of the job Garrett did. I don’t know enough about football to speak intelligently about it. He won more games than he lost. He just didn’t win any Super Bowl games during his time as coach. That’s the benchmark for success in Jerry Jones’ world. To be fair, Jones isn’t the only pro sports franchise owner who cherishes league championships.<\/p>\n

However, I just hate that Garrett had to be called the Cowboys’ head coach while the owner\/general manager was interviewing prospective successors. He didn’t deserve to be disrespected in that manner.<\/p>\n

As for whoever dons the coach’s headset next year and beyond, I hope he’s ready to deal with an owner who thinks he enough about pro football to act as a general manager, which to my way of thinking requires a skill set a zillionaire businessman just doesn’t possess.<\/p>\n\n
