The Cowboys have officially announced that Jason Garrett will not return as the team’s head coach next season. While the news does not come as a surprise, the team had yet to make an official announcement. The announcement confirms an earlier report from Jay Glazer of Fox Sports that Dallas had informed Garrett of the decision.
Garrett’s status had been under question for much of the season and when the Cowboys were officially eliminated from the playoffs his fate seemed sealed. While nothing was officially announced, Dallas began interviewing other head coaching candidates, including former Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis and former Packers head coach Mike McCarthy earlier this week.
The team’s statement refuses to call the move a firing, but rather says “the team would not seek a new agreement [with Garrett].” Garrett has long been held by Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones in high regard dating back to his days as a backup quarterback, but his inability to take Dallas deep into the playoffs forced Jones to make a move. In the end, Garrett finished his 10-year tenure as Cowboys head coach with an 85-67 regular season record and 2-3 postseason record.
Go hire Romo.
Unlikely. Romo should start off as Asst OC then OC then HC.
He’d make way more money and do way less work working for CBS…
I’ve always said ESPN should unload the truck to bring him on for Monday Night Football
Booger needs to go
He’s so bad.. Last night he said they should run a draw play on 3rd down and spike it on 4th… I wish Ron Jaworski was still on MNF
Haha he’s terrible. When I heard that I wasn’t even surprised after everything he’s said this year
Booger and whatever his name is NEED TO GO. Have you ever heard 2 duller announcers in your life. Gruden was such a homer in the end but these guys are horrible. Romo went overboard last night with Brady and “ his final game possibly”. It was sickening to hear him and Nance. Had I been a Titans fan the brick would of went thru the TV.
Is Nance a Patriots Fan? He seems like he favors the Patriots in his commentary.
Jim Nance is actually a Giants fan. I met him once and asked.
And have way less stress. And not have to deal with Jerrah.
Without the headaches
Cowboys fans need to cool their jets on how great of a hire Jethro Jerry Jones and Stephen Fetchit Jones are likely to make. link to socraticgadfly.blogspot.com
If you’re fired and you know it, clap your hands
Lol
Clap clap clap
Haha well said
As a Bengals fan, it’s aggravating to see good coaches let go. The Bengals are the only team in the NFL that can have a coach go 2-14 and no mention of any change. Taylor was so overrated
well they have little choice seeing how they got told no more then once and more then twice when they last tryied to get a hc so they need to see what this hc can do
Huh?
He’s so bad he made Marvin Lewis look good.
No way Marv gets a Cowboys interview if that team didn’t bottom out without him this year.
Yea Marvin Lewis was so bad, that after coaching in 250+ games, he had an over .500 record. Only idiots wouldn’t recognize that.
If your team hired Marvin Lewis as it’s HC, you would say “_____”?
Me as a Jets fan would be saying we got rid of a guy that did less with more.
Tannehill is looking like the solid qb he is … not top 10 by any means but solid and the dolphins with basically nothing on the team has some sputters of life. The same couldnt be said with a better team in Gase at the helm. I have no clue how he got the job and more power over the guys that they interviewed.
I would say he’s better than Patricia, Kitchens, Shurmur, Gase and a few more.
Marvin Lewis was just Jethro Jerry’s “follow the league rules and do a token interview.” No way he hires him IMO. link to socraticgadfly.blogspot.com
If you seriously thought the bengals would win more than 5 games you need to take off your beer goggles.
He should get a pinball machine that works
Jason…”Well, I hope I still have a job.”
Jerry … “We’ve already interviewed two coaches.”
Jason … “Oh, I guess my chances are not too good.”
Jerry … “You got a lot from
Your Ivy League education … you’re fired!”
Jerry still refuses to be a decent GM. He still hasn’t fired Jason Garrett. Not renewing a contract and firing someone are two different things. We have 10 more days of Jason Garrett being the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
If there was ANY doubt that Jerry Jones is sport’s ultimate horse’s patoot before this week, there isn’t any more.
The real kicker is when the new hire is less inspiring than the guy they let go.
I think they dragged it out until they had a good idea the guy they wanted would say yes
so your money’s on Marvin Lewis or Mike McCarthy? cuz those are the only 2 they’ve met with
Josh McDaniels
He’ll go to the giants or Browns
and they wait until the middle of the Eagles game to announce it. Jones is one petty POS
I thought the same thing.
This is bad news for the rest of the league. Not seen a coach in recent memory get so little out of so much.
Mike Tomlin this year
Tomlin almost made the playoffs with two D III quarterbacks running the show. No idea what you’re talking about as his QBs couldn’t throw more than 10 yards downfield. btw, I hate the Steelers, but Tomlin did a good job this year.
*Insert false headline here*
Real headline: Dallas Cowboys announce they will officially part ways with Jason Garrett in 10 days
In Detroit, Jason would have been the Lions most successful head coach in the last 55 years. Maybe the Ford’s will keep him in mind.
I’d love Garrett go to Cinncinatti and win the Superbowl just to piss off Jones and everyother Cowboys fan
Sucks to get fired on your off day
