The Giants have requested permission to speak with former Cowboys coach Jason Garrett, sources tell Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL.com (on Twitter). Garrett, of course, will not return to the Cowboys, but permission is required since he is technically under contract until January 14.

On Tuesday morning, the Giants lost out on top target Matt Rhule. The former Baylor head coach agreed to terms with the Panthers moments before his scheduled flight to New York, forcing the Giants to shift to backup options, including Garrett.
Although Garrett’s Cowboys disappointed in 2019, he had his fair share of accomplishments in Dallas, including a 6-0 record against the G-Men over the last three seasons. All in all, Garrett coached the Cowboys to an 85-67 record since taking over as HC midway through the 2010 season.
The Giants have cast a wide net in their search, as shown in PFR’s tracker. Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Patriots wide receivers coach Joe Judge, Ravens defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale, Patriots OC Josh McDaniels, and Cowboys assistant Kris Richard are also on the radar.
Lol it’s like the Giants are trying to suck now
They already suck so it can’t get any worse!
Sign Garrett and see how much worse it really can get
lol this post aged well
Didn’t say for HC. He is being interviewed for OC
As long we don’t have to give the Giants a draft pick you can have em!
Wow… guess my comment aged well… haha
Jerry Jones is a piece of crap for stringing Garrett out like this. Already hired his replacement but letting his contract expire is cowardice. Fire the man, pay him his severance and let him be on his way. Now you’re controlling what teams are even allowed to speak with him about a new job. Grade A douche
Its very clear Jerry has an affinity for Coach Garrett so I’m not sure where you think their is malintent in his actions. With the amount of meetings the two sides have had Im sure it was a mutual agreement to let the contract run out so they can both say Garrett was ‘never fired’. And with Jason’s history w the Cowboys I doubt he’s eager to stay in the division in just a OC position…
I believe Garrett strung it out trying to talk Jones into keeping him
