The circus seems to only be getting bigger when the comes to the Cowboys, as today’s Dallas Morning News talks about why exactly Dan Reeves didn’t join the team – it had to do with hours in the office.
Dan Reeves said he objected to having a clause put in his contract about the amount of hours he was to work at Valley Ranch. Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones and Reeves agreed in principle to a multi-year deal that was supposed to start Monday, but the former Cowboys assistant coach and player did not know about the clause. “Oh, definitely, big-time,” Reeves said when asked if he was surprised by the clause. “For someone to question how I’ve done [my time] for a lot of years, I’ve never been questioned. Plus, as a coach, how can you verify that? Nobody punches a clock.”
For a team that hasn’t won a playoff game in 13 years to ask someone like Reeves to punch a time clock is a joke, and it just goes to show where this team is at and why they haven’t been able to be successful for a long time.
