Could Jason Garrett return to the Cowboys in a different role? That’s what some members of the organization are wondering as Garrett gets set to meet with team brass (once again) on Thursday, Ed Werder of ESPN.com tweets. 
Garrett will chat with Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones on Thursday, his third face-to-face with the duo since the end of the season. Many have speculated that Garrett could be dismissed after failing to get the Cowboys into the playoffs. Now, it sounds like Garrett could be offered some sort of an alternative to being fired outright.
Garrett has been with the Cowboys for ten years, but this contract – which expires on January 14th – may be his last. Throughout the year, the buzz was that Garrett needed to get the Cowboys to the NFC championship game to keep his job. The team’s .500 finish, of course, came up short.
If Garrett is ousted – or moved to some other position – the job figures to hold appeal for just about every head coaching candidate out there. Baylor’s Matt Rhule, who has been selective in the past, might have the Cowboys on his NFL short-list. Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman and former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer may also be on the radar.
Jerry’s waterboy?
Easy now . He is being offered job of cleaning Jerry’s glasses.
Why would someone take the job when the old coach would still have a role with the team? It’s bad enough having Jerry Jones hanging around but to have Garrett involved. Unless you are making him the radio broadcast color commentator give him a firm handshake and hold the door open as he leaves.
My guess would be offering a potential front office role since hes been with the organization for so long
Eagles fans are rooting for Jason. We want him to be the Cowgirls HC for a long, long time.
We’re also rooting for mega contracts to be given to Prescott and Cooper.
Lol, perfect
Fly high birds . Seahawks +1.5 is free money. Best eagles by 2-3 td. Listen to Eagles fans cry our players were hurt. Wear those 9-7 Division champs shirts proudly
Just like the one that the Sheagles gave to Wentz? That was brilliant
This pretty much confirms that Garrett has something on Jerry.
Rumor has it that both Garrett & Romo have photos of Jerry in a ‘comprised position’ with one of those legendary Tijuana donkeys!
Garrett’s dad was a scout for the Cowboys. Garrett was the backup QB for a long time. He’s been the head coach for a decade. I think, more than anything, Jerry just has a sentimental attachment to a guy he’s known for decades.
This is why I can see him being moved to head of scouting and they hire a college coach
I prefer the Jerry photos with the donkey theory – personally!
Something on Jerry? He’ll get paid to do nothing, so why not have him fill some role for the paycheck they’ll owe him regardless?
They don’t owe him anything. His contract is up in a couple of weeks.
One reason why I wouldn’t want to coach the cowboys this nonsense only they would condone. If I am a new coach coming in why would I want the previous coach on my staff doesn’t make sense. If they give a man who hasn’t done anything coaching wise in the nfl and give him a front office role just because they like him what standard are you setting as a franchise smh
The guy has been the head coach for 10 years, do they really need a 3rd meeting to relive all their captured memories on their iPhones?
Cowboys desperately need a general manager because Jerry has no clue how to function in that capacity. Makes sense to move Howdy Doody in that job.
Cowboys new General Manager?
I bet we’ll be seeing Jason cleaning Jerry’s glasses in the press box.
Jerry can’t admit when he makes the wrong decisions signing Romo to a huge contract when he shouldn’t have, drafting and signing guys that can’t stay off the commissioner list and keeping Garrett as HC.
How exactly cant JJ admit when he makes a wrong decision? Prescott took over rather quickly for an injured Romo and they never looked back (correct decision, and I’m a big Romo fan). They aren’t keeping Garrett as HC, and there have been HCs with other teams that stayed for years with much worse records. And the Cowboys have less issues with players on the Commissioner’s list than most teams. BTW, have any Patriots had problems staying out of trouble?
“There have been HCs with other teams that stayed for years with MUCH worse records”??? Can you please name 3 NFL Coaches in the last 20 seasons with 10+ consecutive seasons with one team and less success? Are you kidding? Come on Man! Are you really a Cowboy Fan? I’m almost 50 years old, I’ve been a Cowboy Fan my entire life and I’m pissed that I’ve had to suffer for 10 seasons of my life with this clown and all you can do is deflect to Dak Prescott, commissioners lists, and the Patriots? You shouldn’t ever mention Dallas and NE in the same post unless commenting on a trade. My team, our team, is a joke! One of the most (if not the most) talented NFL teams of the past decade with zero to show for it! The organization can’t even break off Jason Garrett in proper fashion. Sad times… Yet you deflect.
Only JJ could mess up firing someone this badly. Rivera and others are already queued up woh other teams, and he’s still talking with JG about his feelings. Fire him, move on in the HC search, and give JG a standing opportunity to join the front office. It’s not a waterfall-type work situation.
he is not firing anyone is contract is up.Read article next time before talking out your backside

Head cheerleader…

Darn it have to scroll down before commenting.
Hard to believe Jerry Jones is a billionaire, considering how he runs a football team.
hard to believe you think could do a better job
The clapper could be a cheerleader?
Team Mascot
Jerry wants another yacht so Jason will be named the Executive Director of Maritime Scouting.
