I have little doubt Jerry would keep him if he thought he could sell it to the fan base. I think they realize they are on the verge of losing fans if they prolonged their decade long mistake.
Yep

And why Jerry’s priorities have been exposed again.

Shortest job assignment handed out by Booger. "Get me a list all of Jason's HC accomplishments".

Shortest duty carried out by Booger. Reading the list.

Toughest duty by Booger. Thinking of enough good things to say about Jason's accomplishments.

Of course he was connected to Landry who hired him. Regardless if it was near the end of Toms career. That respect was extended to Jason as he paid homage to Landry with the OL shift at the end of some games.


Garrett began coaching at the United States Coast Guard Academy and Lehigh University and found success as head coach at Susquehanna University(1960–1965), leading them to a 39–11–1 record which included undefeated seasons in 1961 and 1962. He was fired during the seventh game of the 1965 season for assaulting a player.[2] He spent most of the next 40 years in the National Football League as an assistant coach with the New York Giants (1970–1973), the New Orleans Saints (1976–1977), and the Cleveland Browns (1978–1984), as well as head coach of the Houston Texans of the fledgling World Football League (1974). There was a brief stint in the mid-1970s as head coach at Millburn High School in New Jersey. His last coaching job as head coach of Columbia Universityin 1985 was fraught with controversy as the team went 0–10 and accusations of verbal and physical abuse surfaced.[3] After the season, his sons John, Jason and Judd, who were enrolled at Columbia, transferred to Princeton University.[4]

From 1987 to 2004, he served as a scout for the Dallas Cowboys.[5]

Landry didn't hire him. He didn't hire the scouts. That would have been done by either Gil Brandt or Bob Ackles at that time.
