Turner and Garrett are indeed friends. That's totally meaningless. The only reason Turner wasn't hired is because he told Jones that Garrett isn't ready to be an offensive coordinator, and I'd say Turner knows a thing or two about running an offense.

Upon hearing this, Coach Jones got offended that Turner might not meekly say "yes sir" to his judgments from on high, and then went and hired the guy who WOULD say "yes sir," one Wade Phillips.

The stuff I hear is Garrett will be good. Some speculation about if he is experienced enough to help Romo succeed. Others say if Tony Sparano stays, he could help Garrett learn the ropes.

I liked the Turner/Garrett combination - with their experience at the Ranch and their style, I think it could have been effective.
The whole situation of hiring the staff before the head coach seems a little odd. Even that kid at Oakland got to hire some of his coaches.

I also just read the Dallas receivers Coach Haley took another job.
