None of the teams that whacked him (Marty) got any farther than he did and usually sunk back to the basement of their respective divisions.

I don't think that Jerry will fire Garrett as long as the players continue to play hard, regardless of the Win-Loss record.
IMO, Jerry just does not have a high regard for Head Coaches. He thinks their primary function is to keep the players motivated and to deal with the media. I guess that Garrett could get in trouble if he really screws up some game-management situations.
