st the division rival Womens Maliek Collins Jersey , Philadelphia Eagles. Before they can get to that, they may have some questions to answer regarding head coach Jason Garrett, and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan.Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported that the Jason Garrett considered making a change at offensive coordinator before the season even started, but decided to give Linehan a chance with some of the changes he wanted to make to the receiving room, offensive line coach, and a few other tweaks. Those tweaks have failed, and Rapoport reported that Garrett even considered moving on from Linehan over the bye week, but instead decided to make the move for a wide receiver, and change at offensive line coach. It was also reported that internally it is believed that Jason Garrett will finish out the rest of the season. But what about next year?The Cowboys reportedly have an “affinity” for University of Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley. It has been talked about all season how bland, boring http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/la_el-collins-jersey , and prehistoric this offense has looked at times, and Riley runs a very uptempo, pass-heavy offense at Oklahoma that the NFL is starting to prefer. Riley has been asked about making a move to the NFL in the last few weeks, and kindly shut them down but didn’t rule it out in the future. It will be interesting to see how his tune changes if the Cowboys are in fact interested, and the college football season is over with.Reports are just reports, but this report seems to hold a little bit more weight than just a normal report that we get on most Sundays. It sounds as if Jason Garrett will finish out the season as the head coach, but Scott Linehan on the other hand may not be as lucky. It all sounds like time may be running out for Jason Garrett if he can’t get this thing turned around by the end of the season. Barry Sanders shook hands with fans, posed for pictures and engaged in small talk outside a suite at Ford Field before the Detroit Lions opened the season against the New York Jets.At halftime, the Hall of Fame running back was on the field to turn a huge key, and the stadium's speakers blared with the sounds of an engine revving.Sanders is in his second season as an ambassador for the team Youth Sean Lee Jersey , a paid role that is sending him on the road for Detroit's game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday."It's definitely nice to be back after the first few years of being retired and there not being much communication," Sanders said in an interview with The Associated Press. "So, certainly just being able to be involved with certain things that the team is doing from a community outreach standpoint and that sort of thing, for me, it's great."And, just being able to be around the game a little more and certainly around the Lions family a little more for me is meaningful so I do appreciate that."The Lions like the arrangement, too.Sanders visits suite holders during games and attends meet-and-greet sessions along with going to other team functions such as its draft party."It's great having him around and back in the fold, interacting with fans and corporate sponsors," Lions president Rod Wood told The AP. "He's probably if not the best player in Lions history, he's in the handful of the best."And Color Rush Byron Jones Jersey , he's definitely the most remembered by our fans."While it may seem like a logical connection between the former star player and the only NFL team he played for, their relationship was not smooth in the years following his sudden and surprising retirement just before training camp began 1999.Sanders is always showered with cheers in the Motor City these days. But he was booed in public at times back in the day by fans who were still unhappy he walked away from the game after 10 spectacular seasons when he was on the verge of becoming the NFL's all-time leading rusher."I hated that it came to the point where he was getting booed," said Lomas Brown, one of Sanders' former teammates. "He's one of the greatest ever and he did it all here in Detroit. There are still some people holding a grudge today, but that's been gone for a while."Brown hopes the Lions take another step in their relationship with Sanders by honoring him with a statue at Ford Field."It's hard to believe there's not one," Brown said.Wood declined to say if there are plans to erect a Sanders statue."We've talked about things we haven't announced," Wood said.When Calvin Johnson announced his retirement two years ago, it reminded people of Sanders' decision to walk away from the game.Like Sanders, the former star receiver chose to leave the Lions and the league with years left on his contract and seemingly some solid seasons left in his career.Johnson retired two years ago and the team has tried and failed, so far Color Rush Chidobe Awuzie Jersey , to rekindle its relationship with him.As Sanders was the honored guest in Wood's suite for a game earlier this month, Johnson was in a nearby luxury box on the same floor."I know Lions fans appreciate Barry's role with the team because he's the greatest Lion and one of the greatest running backs 鈥?if not the greatest 鈥?to play the game," said Johnson, who declined to talk about his relationship with the team.Brown believes time will take care of whatever issues are keeping Johnson from being a part of the organization in some way."If the Lions continue to reaching out to him and being warm to him, I think it'll happen," Brown said.Wood is working on it."It's still goal of the organization, and me in particular, to get Calvin back in the fold," Wood said. "It was good to see him at the (Jets) game." NFL Outlet
