Let me say right up front- because I love the Cowboys, I want Jason Garrett to succeed. If he succeeds, the Cowboys are winning. That’s what I want. But it’s not likely to happen according to NFL history.
NFL History teaches us that if an NFL coach is going to win a SB, he most likely will do it within the first 5 years of their tenure as head coach of that franchise.
Of the 31 head coaches to win at least one Super Bowl, 27 of them won their first championship within the first five seasons with that team. Only Chuck Noll (six years in Pittsburgh), John Madden (eight years in Oakland), Tom Landry (12 years in Dallas) and Bill Cowher (14 years in Pittsburgh) needed more than five years to capture that elusive first ring.
We know Jason Garrett is not in the league of those greats. We know with the early era HOF coaches like Tom Landry, they had a longer leash than most coaches have today.
Look at the SB winning coaches of the last 10 years and notice they ALL won a SB within 5 years of coaching that franchise:
2009- Mike Tomlin- won a SB in 2nd year as HC in Pitt
2010- Sean Payton won SB in his 4th year as HC in NO
2011- Mike McCarthy- won SB in his 5th year as HC in GB
2012- Tom Coughlin won SB in 2008 in his 4th year in NY and this one in his 7th year
2013- John Harbaugh won this SB in his 5th year as HC in Balt
2014- Pete Carrol- won SB in his 4th year in Sea
2015- Bill Belechick- won his first SB in NE in 2002 in his 2nd year in NE and won 4 more since
2016- Gary Kubiak won SB in his 1st year as HC in Den
2017- Bill Belechick (see above)
2018- Doug Peterson- won SB in his 2nd year in Filly.
So...history says (unless you’re Tom Landry or Chuck Noll) if you’re going to win a SB as a head coach in the NFL, you better do it within 5 years of your tenure with that franchise.
Let’s see, Garrett’s in year 8, and Jerry’s talking about extending him....Hello Jerry?
