Garrett, who turns 41 in March, spent all day at Valley Ranch, meeting with both team owner Jerry Jones and his son, Stephen, along with former head coach Bill Parcells, who has remained in his office this week despite announcing his retirement from coaching Monday morning.
The Dolphins granted permission for the Cowboys to meet with Garrett about becoming the next offensive coordinator in Dallas. But Miami did ask that Garrett make a decision by Thursday whether to sign a contract extension to return as the Dolphins' quarterbacks coach for a third season.
However, Garrett's return to Dallas might include something much bigger. In fact, Garrett could agree on a contract with the Cowboys to become at least offensive coordinator as early as Thursday, before the Dolphins' deadline expires. But that wouldn't necessarily take his name out of the running for the Cowboys' vacant head coaching job.
