Owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Tuesday that Garrett would be relieved of that duty moving forward, making him a so-called walk-around coach. In all likelihood, offensive line coach/offensive coordinator Bill Callahan will take over as the playcaller, presumably allowing Garrett to operate on a “big picture” level.
Jones insisted Tuesday that this was in no way a demotion for Garrett, who will enter his third full season as the Cowboys head coach in 2013.
“It’s not a step back for Jason.
It’s actually a step forward for Jason in my mind,” Jones said, per the
Dallas Morning News. “Make no mistake about it, when I hired Jason to come into the organization as a coach he was hired specifically for his skills for his abilities to call the plays. When he became the head coach, it was at my insistence that he continue to call the plays. It was not at Jason’s insistence.
