Jerry Jones is “looking for reasons” to keep Jason Garrett
Posted by Charean Williams on October 21, 2019, 3:06 PM EDT

The Cowboys front office repeatedly expressed public support for Jason Garrett last week in the midst of a three-game losing streak. Both Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones said Garrett’s job was not on the line in Sunday’s game against the Eagles.

They weren’t lying.

The Cowboys owner, in fact, said he wants to keep Garrett beyond this season after Garrett’s contract expires.

“I am looking for reasons. I’m looking for reasons to keep him,” Jones said. “It’s merited here. It’s hard to get an effective coach and get it locked in with all you have to do retool and redo

That is why you fail....

jerry is comfortable winning a championship is not important the old jerry jones that first bought the dallas cowboys would have moved on from him already his statement about we will win win is the name of the game has been forgotten a long time ago

 

[Diehardblues]

In other words Jerry is comfortable with Garrett. He doesn’t want to start over breaking in another puppet.

 

[SlammedZero]

I don't fault him for backing his current coach while the season is progressing. What is he suppose to say? I still think Garrett's leash is short.

I think what Jerry is saying is that the mediots and the unwashed masses on the message boards are looking for reasons to fire the head coach while he is looking for reasons to keep him.

I knew it.....the seed of doubt was there. He’s now having an argument with himself ...good. He’s got the reasons to remove,but he’s looking at the reasons to keep him because he doesn’t want go down that road if doesn’t have to....and based on ending result will factor into his decision.

 

[Sydla]

Again it makes zero sense to not extend Garrett now if you truly believe he's an elite coach who would be highly sought after if he was a free agent coach.

He can say whatever he wants. He's leaving his options open based on the outcome of this season. It's plain as day.

 

[DasSchnitzel]

"Looking for reasons" implies you dont currently have one, or the reasons you do have aren't yet sufficient.

I'm looking for reasons to finally get a new car and the reasons I have dont yet justify the car payment.

Just saying, he left it open to interpretation and he didnt have to do that. Maybe there is hope.

 

[Tabascocat]

I took it as a subtle hint meaning a deeper playoff run

Exactly how I read it.

he mows a mean lawn.

I'm curious, how does the Dallas media treat Jerry overall? - cause I know if he was here in NY, the guy would be getting killed.

 

[Chrispierce]

You’re correct to. It’s a good thing too...glad to hear this.

 

[john van brocklin]

Never getting fired

Like the Pope
Coach for life

 

[GMO415]

Whatever. He'll never be the reason we win in the playoffs

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Hell, I'm wondering he's just lowered Garrett's bar from NFCCG to one playoff win(lol). But the real question is why is he talking about this NOW during the middle of the season?
