There’s no official word on Jason Garrett‘s status, but it sounds like the Cowboys will be moving on from their longtime head coach. The saga is “expected to conclude soon” with Garrett’s dismissal, ESPN.com’s Ed Werder (on Twitter) hears. After that, the Cowboys will move on quickly and begin interviewing candidates for the job.

Werder’s report stops just short of saying that a final determination has been made, but it sure sounds like the two sides are headed for divorce. The Cowboys, reportedly, were only planning to retain Garrett if the Cowboys made a deep playoff run. Unfortunately for the Princeton grad, the Cowboys finished 8-8, missed the playoffs, and ceded the division to the rival Eagles.
The Cowboys were scheduled to meet with Garrett at The Star on Thursday, but that meeting was scrapped. Before the 86’d sit-down, the Cowboys were rumored to be considering a middle-ground scenario in which Garrett would remain with the organization in a different role. At this moment, a clean break seems more likely.
If this is the end of the line for Garrett, he’ll leave the Cowboys as their second-winningest coach of all time and an overall record of 85-67. Only Tom Landry won more games for the franchise, but Garrett has just career two playoff wins to his credit. Under Garrett’s guidance, the Cowboys have never advanced beyond the divisional round.
It was tough to see Any Reid leave the Eagles when he couldn’t get over the hump. Honestly very interested in seeing what Jason can do with a different team.
He could only wish the hump he couldn’t get over was Andy Reid’s in Philly, then he’d still have a job. Andy took a bad team and turned them around, 5 straight playoffs, 4 conference title games and a Super Bowl.
Andy Reid was and is in a much higher level as a coach than this Clown
HE GONE
Maybe jones is waiting to talk to Belichick.
Belichick will only work where he has a superstar QB to hide behind. Dallas isn’t that.
Lol you must not watch football
Isn’t it funny the number of people who say Belichick is a byproduct of Brady is equal to the number of people who say Brady is a byproduct of Belichick? Can’t we just admit that they’re both great at what they do?
This is coming from a Steelers fan.
Thank you! I’m not a fan of the Pats but this is spot on.
So because your a Steeler fan your opinion counts more?
Yes
If you ask that question you haven’t talked to many stealer fans. Haven’t used that spelling in awhile. They think their opinion counts more but they can’t count past ten without taking the shoes off. They have trouble getting them off because the Velcro straps confuse them. When they finally figure it out they get mesmerized by the noise and take an hour of on and off. By that time they forgot what they were doing.
Lol I am kidding those are the smart Steeler fans.
I’m a die hard Steelers fan too and it hurts say that the Patriots dynasty probably cost the Steelers 2 more rings.
Nonetheless, until Belichick proves he can win with anyone other than Brady, the question will remain. And to me, that has to be in NE.
Matt cassel did go 11-5
So what
Genius replies…
Just fire the guy already. I’m a Giant fan and I’m starting to feel bad for him.
So if you were not a Giants fan .. then what?
And another…
Word, did someone take your favorite parking spot at work yesterday?
as a realistic cowboy fan let’s understand that the timing of Garrett is based on his contract expiring on the 14th and that the coaches jerry wants all have had secret conversations….With that said, I think they should beg Romo out of the booth to be the OC, make Witten an assistant coach and lure Zimmer back to his D!
Do you have exclusive “Breaking News” on Zimmer’s status in Minnesota?
if they lose in New Orleans, it is certainly a good possibility Minnesota moves on from Zimmer.
Really!!?? Wow!
I do not think any of that makes sense Bens …. now with that said ….
I’m so confused. Once their final game and cowboys aren’t in playoffs isn’t his contract up? Or is not up until after the super bowl?
See bens04ter comment above. Maybe that’s an
explanation…..
they are doing the politically correct thing with Garrett, Jones’s are not willing to fire him instead to let his contract expire. I know it’s the same thing but there are also money attached to both. inside source suggests a loss by Minnesota and Zimmer could be had but would have to be traded for since he is under contract
I think the year in the NFL begins in March
Expires January 14, 2020
It’s a publicity stunt by Jones! He wants all the attention because the cowboys season is over!
Sure he decided not to bring back the head coach not because he was unhappy with the crappy job he did, but because he wantex publicity?
Wantex…lol
Let’s be honest here: Jason Garrett is the second winningest head coach behind Tom Landry because Tom Landry is the only coach who coached the Cowboys longer than Jason Garrett.
Landry – 29 years
Jimmy – 5 years
Switzer – 4 years
Gailey – 2 years
Campo – 3 years
Parcells – 4 years
Phillips – 4 years
Garrett – 9 years
JG should have been gone half a decade ago and Jerry Jones didn’t know it until we all saw him sobbing on national TV.
Nobody after Johnson except Parcells was a real head coach. That tells you Jerra wants a YES MAN and PUPPET. He won’t win another Super Bowl.
Scared me thought you were going to say Garrett was a better coach than Landry. To even have that thought you should be banned from ever watching a game or talking about a game.
Oh and as a Seahawk fan I just know.
So Walsh hid behind Montana?
Johnson behind Aikman?
Knoll behind Bradshaw?
Can’t you say that about all coaches . QB kinda important position
