Disclaimer: Garrett haters beware; pro-Garrett piece.
FRISCO, Texas -- Almost since the first day Jason Garrett took over as the Dallas Cowboys' interim head coach on Nov. 8, 2010, he has had to deal with some kind of distraction.
During his first week as coach, taking over for Wade Phillips, he had to get a team that lost five straight and seven of their first eight games ready to play the Giants. They beat New York 33-30 at MetLife Stadium in Garrett's first game.
On Thursday, seven years and one day after Garrett took over, the Cowboys learned they will not have Ezekiel Elliottfor at least the next four games -- including Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons -- and in all likelihood the next six games, after the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals removed the temporary administrative stay that had allowed the running back to play.
The Elliott crisis is the latest for Garrett.
