News: ESPN: Cowboys coaches fear firings

[Reality]

There is concern internally that coach Jason Garrett and his entire coaching staff will be fired unless the Dallas Cowboys win the NFC East and reach the playoffs, a team source said.

Dallas likely needs to beat the Washington Commanders on Sunday and then prevail against the Philadelphia Eagles in a winner-take-all season finale in Week 17 -- which is how each of the past two seasons have ended for Garrett's teams against the New York Giants in 2011 and Commanders in 2012.

They should be in fear. There is no reason this division should have come down to the last 2 games.

I don't know why this stuff is coming out on game day. Stupidity on our FO; who are more and likely the source for this information. If you're going to fire Garrett let him call the plays at least.

This thing is starting to crumble

@Edwerderespn: I've been told that Jerry Jones doesn't want to fire Jason Garrett, prefers to be right about him as HC but needs to make playoffs

 

[IAmLegend]

I don't want Garrett back, but I also want to make the playoffs.. hmm this is quite the conundrum.

 

[jgboys1]

I have full confidence in Jerry finding the right coach and personal. The future looks bright.

I'll take the playoffs over any coaching being fired, any day and all day. I prefer Jones were right about Garrett, too. I don't want to start over so late in Romo's career.

I'm feeling it that way too, now per Ian Rapoport, there's something going on between Romo and Murray.

@SportsSturm: "I'm told by sources that the Cowboys are not happy to have lost 7 times this season. Stay tuned".

I want Garrett gone, but I want playoffs too. My only hope is that we win out and, in the event Garrett stays, Jerry still brings in a guy like Kubiak to run the offense.

As I've said before, this team has issues ALL OVER THE PLACE. We may get by the one team that is falling apart worse than us (Commanders), but I don't see us getting passed a team clearly on the upswing in the Eagles.

I hope I'm wrong, but I never am.

So how many people are hoping we lose and Philly wins?

That team on the upswing did just get throttled by a Viking team playing without its best player. Just saying I don't think they're quite as hot as some make them out to be. But I do agree that our team has several issues, throughout the organization.

If Commanders jump on us early, its going to get ugly real quick.

It's not true.
