Jason Garrett done as a coach?

I could see Garrett coaching college ball. Maybe back at his alma mater of Princeton Univ. He's basically an Ivy League level coach anyway.

A few others seem to agree. The Athletic reports that after Mike Elko left Duke to coach Texas A&M Sunday, NBC football Analyst and former Cowboys coach Jason Garrett is one of 7 prospects prominently being mentioned now for the open Duke HC job.
 
If anyone is perfectly suited to smiling & saying generic football things on camera, it's Garrett. If you have no history with him, a viewer might be fooled.
 
He used up all his life lines and is done coaching. He’s got 10s of millions of dollars in the bank that he doesn’t come anywhere close to deserving.

Yea, they also mentioned Doug Marrone back to Cuse...

Those articles are written whenever and then they just hit publish. There's not any credibility to that.

EXACTLY. Supposed to be considered for a job is basically click bait.
 
Red will continue to draw interest at the college level. But I'm inclined to think his preference is to find his way back into an NFL HC gig because the recruiting thing might not be his cup of tea, and because my speculation is that he still believes in himself and that he can be successful there. And his best path to that probably is to see if he can develop some regard as a TV analyst, and in turn, gain some traction for a smaller market job.

Could he just be content to stick with TV now that he's there? Entirely possible. If he and his wife had kids, I'd say very likely... since he seems to be such a family guy, it would really wear on him to try to do both the head coach and the daddy jobs. But since they don't (correct me if I'm wrong), and let's face it, he has his pride and can't be excited about the way he was tossed aside in DAL and then from NYG... I think that's the goal.

Could be.
Ego makes people do stupid things.
His record as a NFL head coach spanned ten years. The FACT that he has not been offered much at all from any team since NYG should tell him something but he is probably not listening.

LOL. Good luck with that.
 
Jerry putting him on the fast track ruined him. He probably could’ve been a good coach if he made the rounds, gained real experience and learned the ropes from quality coaches instead of being sold as a boy genius!

It's curious to me that people on the outside have so much hubris that they come to an internet forum and make wild claims to know what they cannot possibly know.

I'm not suggesting by that statement that I know something I cannot possibly know, either, btw. And I'm quite persuaded that Red hasn't made any team's short list for a HC hire. I'm not saying that. But is it possible he's been considered for another OC opportunity? Sure it is. Possible. Who knows. Not me. Not anyone else. But it's plausible.

Even for those who consider his coaching history to be trash (... I don't, but you're welcome to your opinion of course, free country...) you'll have to acknowledge the maxim that it's sometimes who you know, and JG certainly has a lot of relationships around the league given his career. A lot.

The path worked for Gruden in relatively recent memory. And Cowher certainly has been coveted by some teams over the years, though it would appear he never pursued anything seriously. It's less plausible for Garrett, of course, because he doesn't bring the same Super Bowl ring cache'. But again... plausible? He's relatively young, and if we assume his regard grows as a TV analyst (which isn't a given), in that case, yes, I think that's plausible.

Yeah but coaches don’t hire themselves and they sure as hell don’t get 10 years lol.

He didn't but one of the reasons I can't stand him is all of his leaks and media pawns doing his bidding. He was a true snake. Dez was too naive to see it until it was too late. TO knew what garrett was from the jump

He should have been done as a coach long, long ago. Took this front office way too long to see the light. But I digress....

Sad we kept him around for over a decade. Giants cut bait with him extremely quick when they saw how bad he was. Jerry desperately wanted to groom one of his own to create his own version of Landry. Garrett was a player under Jerry and then hired as OC. Wade was a sitting duck the second he took the HC job, seeing as Garrett was hired before him. He was already being groomed to take his job, just a matter of when. I despise Garrett. He puts on this act of being such a great, smart guy but underneath it all, he's conniving. He deliberately sabotaged Wade's last season to get him fired. Every franchise knows Garrett doesn't belong coaching.

Thank you. Real snake in the grass hiding behind the good guy persona.

See that stuff I don’t know or haven’t heard about so I can’t speak on that. If that stuff is true then that’s a reason to dislike him but I always felt that stuff wasn’t true.

Yep. I never bought it for a second. Many did, though. The rest of the league doesn't look at him like a son as Jerry did. Hence, why no one even considered him for a HC coach once his contract was done here. He took a demotion with the Giants and as poorly ran as they have been lately, even saw how bad he was. They have no emotional ties to him like Jerry did.
