You might remember hearing something about the Cowboys discussing either firing offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, or at least demoting him from play-calling. There were reports on Sunday morning, pre-Eagles-beatdown, that either before the 2018 season began, or during the recent bye week, Jason Garrett was deciding whether to either fire or demote Scott Lienhan.
Linehan certainly has his contingent of critics among the Cowboys faithful, so this news gave them hope that it could still happen in the near-future while simultaneously leaving them with a case of “what could have been” if the Cowboys would have just gone ahead and done it.
