FWIW…Jason Garrett said the following on the Dan Patrick Show with regards to why he decided to pass on Stanford:
"It's an intriguing place," Garrett told Patrick. "I've always had great admiration for (Stanford). That's why I went out there and visited with them, to get a chance to talk with Andrew Luck, Condoleezza Rice, Bruce Dunlevie and Bernard Muir ... It was a really fun experience and stimulating experience. But at the end of it, the college landscape is changing. You embrace the standards at a place like Stanford. You want to coach those kinds of kids who are so driven. But with the transfer portal, NIL and other factors, it might be hard to win in an environment like that. I was grateful for the opportunity, but I am glad I did what I did."
