I am not overcome with excitement about this. He seems to be too soft to handle TO. Hopefully he only has a 2 year contract and there will be some better options out there in the next year or two.
I'm sure it will be a short term contract. 2 yrs. 3 max. They are obviously grooming Jason Garrett, he of the Princeton degree, to be the next coach, that's why they hired him before the Philips. But a) He's not ready just yet b)JJ thinks he can win now (so do I) so a guy with experience in the 3-4 D and tons of coaching experience is the right move for the short term.
