Garrett is really forcing Jerry Jones’ hand on this one. The decision to kick a field goal with the Cowboys trailing by a touchdown late in the fourth quarter of a rain-soaked game against the best defense in the NFL was horrid, of course, but that wasn’t a one-off decision. This is who Garrett is as a coach. He’s naturally timid and that just doesn’t work in today’s NFL now that teams have analytical departments and are actually starting to listen to them.

I wonder if Rivera would take a DC job?

He should have been fired at half time for deciding to kick a 50 yard field goal against the wind instead of punting to pin NE and gaining field position. He did the same stupid call against the Vikings where he send out the FG unit to make a 50+ yard FG instead of punting. Result? Maher misses and they take over with excellent field position. How many times does this lesson need to be repeated for Garrett to get it?

I wanted him to be gone when he iced his own kicker years ago.

I know it's only his first year, but I think the Browns head coach should go too. He and the team both look lost out there. They have a talented team and are not playing like one. They should probably hire someone that isn't from the bargain bin and they might get better results. Then again Jerry stuck with Jason after three straight 8-8 seasons, he isn't any better.

When will it soak in to people that Garrett won't have to be fired? At the end of the season his contract expires......there's no contract to be fired from.......... he'll be free to date Mara at that point.
By not firing him, Jerry doesn't have to admit he was wrong. He can let the contract expire and then say, "After speaking with Jason, we've decided that we'll go in a different direction and allow him to pursue other interests."

It still amounts to Jerry choosing not to retain Garrett. The only real difference is there is nothing left to pay on Garrett's contract.

should've happened after the 2015 season, the fact that it didn't really puts these past 4 years of failure directly in Jerry's lap

True. It just let's him avoid having to say he fired him. This way, they can both save face a bit. Jason can say he got a better offer allowing him to be close to home in New York, and Jerry can save it was a mutual agreement. :thumbup:

I don't think there is really any face to save. Nobody, would think of it as anything other than the Cowboys deciding to move forward with another head coach, and Jason and Jerry both understand that. There really isn't the shame attached to it that fans imagine. Teams deciding to move on to new coaches is a routine part of the NFL.

lol... the idea that Garrett made some kind of egregious coaching error by kicking the field goal in the 4th is laughably pathetic. I can see that people just smell blood in the water since Garrett is coaching without a contract and are going to find some way to pin every loss on him no matter what. Garrett over the years definitely has made some head scratchers that legitimately went against logic and reason and was rightfully called out for it... this ain’t one of them. I used to think that Dak slobberers were the most embarrassing part of Cowboy fandom but all of this crying about Garrett is rapidly ascending.

semantics man, not re-signing him is the same rejection by Jones and decision to move on

Do anyone thing maybe the reason Jerry haven't signed Garrett to an extension is because Garrett refuse to sign one.....i kid but that would be funny.

Give me a break. Not going for the TD was a back breaker.
