The story of nepotism and the Garrett family pyramid scheme starts with their father Jim Garrett.
Jim Garrett was the head coach at Columbia. His team was 0-10 and he was fired after a lot of allegations of abuse. He had been previously fired for assaulting a player at a previous school. All three sons played for him and after he was fired they transferred to Princeton. He was a scout for the Cowboys from 1987 to 2004. Keep this in mind as the story unfolds.
Jason claim to fame ironically was snapping a 44 game losing streak to his old team, Columbia.
Judd was a jag of a player much like his brothers Jason and John.
At some point, he is hired on as a minor coach on the Dolphins. The Dolphins then sign Jason Garrett as an inactive backup QB towards the end of 2004. Then quickly hire him as a QB coach (a job Judd previously had).
Jason after two years as a QB coach is suddenly hired on to become Jerry Jones' offensive coordinator before a head coach is even hired. Yes, that's right remember Garrett's full resume as a coach before becoming an offensive coordinator was 2 years as a QB coach for the Dolphins, where he developed a string of hall of fame QBs (except he didn't).
Jason turns around and sinks Wade Phillips' offense so he can get the job as head coach and refuses to hire any experienced coordinators for a number of years before he is forced to do so with Kiffin and Callahan. He drives both of them out (Kiffin deserved it), but is saddled with Marinelli. He is able to bring former Dolphins offensive coordinator Linehan into the mix.
Along the line, the Garrett family nepotism continued. He returned the favor and hired Judd Garrett who is now our head of pro scouting (which we're awful at). Judd has no experience as a scout.
He also hired and promoted brother John Garrett from tight ends coach to passing game coordinator before being forced to fire him. John later took a position as a WR coach in Tampa, where he lasted all of one year.
He then became the offensive coordinator for the Oregon State football where he lasted all of one year.
Two years later he became the offensive coordinator for the Richmond Spiders, where he lasted all of one year.
He then became the head coach at Lafayette college where his record was 3-8.
All the Garretts at some point have played for the Cowboys, although only two for Jerry Jones.
They all went to Princeton, and they are all conmen.
They've created a relationship with Jones and that relationship supersedes the outcomes on the field. None of them have ever been remotely qualified for anything.
