(DMN File) COWBOYS [Scott Linehan out as offensive coordinator in what Garrett says was 'a mutual decision']( So much for no major changes. Just days after head coach Jason Garrett said he didn't anticipate any significant changes to the Dallas Cowboys' coaching staff -- a topic he later spoke more vaguely about -- the club released a statement from Garrett on Friday announcing [it was parting ways with offensive coordinator Scott Linehan](. "This was not an easy decision because of how highly we regard Scott Linehan as a football coach and as a person," Garrett said in the statement. "He and I had some really positive, substantive and open discussions which took place in the latter part of this week, and we ultimately agreed that it would be in the best interest of all of the parties involved if we were to make a change at this (offensive coordinator) position." Linehan issued a statement later in the afternoon. "As Jason expressed, we met on Wednesday and had a good, direct talk," Linehan said in the statement.

What is this place about? The food isn't Mexican. Why are there truffle gnocchi on the menu? What's the deal with radish chips?

It all became a blur, and I hadn't even ordered a drink. [But Tulum is simple, really](. Forget about regional Mexican, much as you might expect that at a place named for a city on the Yucatán coast, a city that has become a lure for chefs and serious foodies.
