Jason Garrett on his future, Cowboys' season, Dak Prescott & George Pickens, more

SAN FRANCISCO – Former Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is getting ready to wrap up his fourth season as an analyst for NBC Sports at Super Bowl LX.

In January, Garrett interviewed with the Tennessee Titans for their head coaching vacancy, which was filled by Robert Saleh. That begs the question, does Garrett want to return to the sidelines?

"I'm just really living in the present and enjoying what I'm doing," Garrett said when asked if he was finished coaching. "I get a chance to do some college games, I get a chance to back up [Mike] Tirico on some NFL games and then do our stuff on Football Night in America on Sunday nights. Just really enjoy all aspects of it. I love playing, I love coaching, I love everything I've done in football."

As for the team that Garrett coached for nine seasons, he still keeps up because of his profession and the relationships he still holds in the Cowboys organization. When reflecting on the 2025 season, Dallas' #2 overall offense stood out.

I can't blame any of these guys for giving up the rigid demands of coaching to become analists with less pressure.

 

[OGSixshooter]

I love Jason but this is PC babble: "Just really enjoy all aspects of it. I love playing, I love coaching, I love everything I've done in football."

 

[Tabascocat]

Translation: no one wants me near their football team

 

[ConstantReboot]

As long as he remains an analyst and stays away from the Cowboys’ sidelines, I’m fine with that. Frankly, I think he fits better as an analyst than as a coach. He’s terrible as a coach.

He has about as good a chance of landing another HC gig as Schotty does when his days in Dallas are done.

That's a big "ZERO" for anyone not following.

Don't really want him on their TV screens, either

 

[LonnieElam]

I love Jason.

Lolwut?

It’s tough to overcome coaching in Dallas in Puppet era. Only if you’ve had some previous success.

Will be tough for anyone to surpass the success Garrett had here. He’s one of the best puppets we’ve had.

We certainly haven’t had anymore playoff success since he left. And only Landry has more team Cowboy wins.

I love Jason but this is PC babble: "Just really enjoy all aspects of it. I love playing, I love coaching, I love everything I've done in football."

It translates to the following: "I realize now that nobody besides Jerry Jones is dumb enough to hire me let alone keep me for a decade despite clearly not being up to the job, nor even qualified for it to begin with."

Impressive. Very nice... Now let's see the playoff win totals.

 

[Diehardblues]

Actually he has 2 which is more than any Cowboys HC since the 90’s.

 

[big dog cowboy]

He’s terrible as a coach.

That's not fair. He was only given 10 years.

 

[ConstantReboot]

That's not fair. He was only given 10 years.

I’m just relieved you’re a random staffer on this forum and not someone Jerry actually trusts. That would’ve been a lot more concerning.

 

[Diehardblues]

What’s even sadder than Garrett’s 10 year tenure is 4 other HC’s cumulatively ( Gailey, Campo, Phillips & McCarthy) over 15 years had no more playoff success.

I'm disappointed that he didn't mention that it's a process. He's slipping.

Oops, nevermind. Read the whole story and he did mention process.

Since I stopped blaming the coaches for our failures, I look at Garrett in a new light. I still think his offense wasn't creative enough in creating mismatches, but if the front office had done a good job of roster building, especially on the defensive side, the offense was good enough at times for us to succeed, probably at least making an NFCCG.
