In Garrett’s case, he’s not going to be fired as his contract is up and he simply won’t be extended. And considering the strong relationship between Garrett and Jones, his exit should be a lot more cordial with plenty of smiles and showing of gratitude from both sides. Even still, the team must move forward and it shouldn’t take much time to make the announcement.

But when should we expect the Cowboys to name his replacement?

The answer to that question depends on the direction the team decides to go. If they go after a college coach or a coordinator/assistant of a current NFL team that didn’t make the postseason, then the announcement should come soon. Six of the eight new head coaches were announced prior to the divisional playoff round.

  • 1/7 - Matt LaFleur, Green Bay Packers, former offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans.
  • 1/8 - Bruce Arians, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, former head coach of the Arizona Cardinals after taking the 2018 season off.
  • 1/8 - Kliff Kingsbury, Arizona Cardinals, former head coach of Texas Tech.
  • 1/9 - Vic Fangio, Denver Broncos, former defensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears.
  • 1/11 - Adam Gase, New York Jets, former head coach of the Miami Dolphins.
  • 1/12 - Freddie Kitchens, Cleveland Browns, promoted from offensive coordinator.
As for the final two head coaches, they were poached from last year’s Super Bowl teams so their announcements weren’t made until February.

If the Cowboys go after a hot college coach like Lincoln Riley, then expect them to move fast as teams try to covet the next big thing from the collegiate ranks. If they go after a former head coach like Ron Rivera, that also could happen relatively quick. But if they are targeting a current coordinator/assistant like Josh McDaniels, that’s going to have to wait until the Patriots season ends which could be all the way into February.

What could throw a wrench in all this is if the Cowboys make it into the playoffs as they’ll miss out on the first crop of new coach hires. Unless Jerry Jones has already been talking behind the scenes and has some sort of gentleman’s agreement, a prolonged season involving a playoff appearance only hurts their chances to land one of the higher-demand coaches on the market.
