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.
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.
