The Facts:
Many believed that HC Jason Garrett would use his press conference Wednesday to reveal who would be calling the team’s offensive plays going forward, with offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Bill Callahan being the likely choice. Garrett, who has called plays the last six years, addressed the topic but didn’t give a firm answer, instead, saying the final decision didn’t need to be made until the Cowboys played their first preseason game in August. “As we go, we’ll work through it,” Garrett said. “We trust the process and we’re pretty confident we’ll get it right.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Morning News contributor Jon Machota, one thing Garrett did confirm is that he will make the final decision on who calls the plays. “It’s a collective process,” he said. “We game plan together. It’s not like everyone sits around and I come up with the game plan. That’s not how we operate. We have never operated that way. I think it’s stupid to operate that way. When you have great resources on your staff, you try to rely on those resources during the week and during the ballgame. That’s always how we’ve done it. It’s worked pretty well for us. ...” As the Sports Xchange recently put it, "Garrett is a process oriented coach. The problem for him in Dallas is that he works for a results oriented owner in Jerry Jones." And until Jones gets the results he wants, the notion of something working "pretty well" isn't going to cut it. So stay tuned. At some point it seems all but certain the change will be made official.
