Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said it has "never been hell or high water" as far as calling the offensive plays; however, he wanted to keep his thumbprint on the team's offense, and that's why it was important for him to have offensive coordinator Bill Callahan take over as the playcaller. Although Callahan has not been officially announced as the playcaller, he is expected to assume that role. If the Cowboys had brought in someone from outside the organization to call the plays, Garrett likely would have had to surrender a lot of control over the team's philosophy.

Former NFL WR Tim Brown denied ever saying Bill Callahan sabotaged Super Bowl XXXVII as head coach of the Oakland Raiders during a radio interview Wednesday, Jan. 23. "I have never said that he sabotaged the game," Brown said. "All I'm saying is, all I was saying after the game was, you know, the question was asked about this situation, but no one ever said ... that's something that could never be proven. We can't go inside the mind of Bill Callahan and say, 'Oh, yeah, we knew exactly what he was thinking, what he was trying to do.' All I'm saying is, the question was asked. But of course the media hears 'sabotage' and 'Bill Callahan' and 'throwing the football game,' now they're saying 'Throwing the football game' and that terminology was never used. But that wasn't the intent."

Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Bill Callahan released a statement strongly refuting former Oakland Raiders WR Tim Brown's suggestion that Callahan "sabotaged" the team's chances of winning Super Bowl XXXVII. Callahan coached the Raiders for two seasons. "There are many people who are disappointed by the outcome of Super Bowl XXVII, but none more than me," Callahan said. "While I fully understand a competitive professional football player's disappointment when a game's outcome doesn't go his team's way, I am shocked, saddened and outraged by Tim Brown's allegations ... I think it would be in the best interests of all including the game America loves that these allegations be retracted immediately."

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team hasn't made any final decisions on who will calls the offensive plays next season, but that head coach Jason Garrett is fine with the decision to move away from him as the play-caller.

"I think you get that when you create more input, influence, whatever you want to call it ..." Jones said. "If Bill Callahan has more influence - let's make that assumption. If he does, then you will see more of some of the things that work for him in his coaching career."

"You have a guy who went to the Super Bowl as a rookie coach and then you have a bad season. Just to cut a guy's head off like that, it's kind of like saying, 'Wow.' But this is the NFL and you never know how things will turn out."
