Jerry has sat in his box and watched Garrett make mistake after mistake . I really have to believe at this point Jerry dosent expect Garrett to ever get to a SB . Garrett makes Jerry feel comfortable on a day to day basis . Garrett dosent intimidate Jerry or threaten his power . Garrett is easy for Jerry to work with and dose what he is told .
This is obviously very important to Jerry because he could easily research and get the best coach money could buy but that coach would have a dominant personality that Jerry would have to contend and compete with for top attention . As long as Garrett has not totally lost control of the team I think the job is his and if a change is made Garrett will get promoted and a new coach will come in .
Looks to me like Garrett is family and is here to stay . I know that paints a grim picture but I feel he would have been gone by now if it was not true
2011-2013: His first 3 years he had a hall pass as Jerry gives him time to learn on the job and rebuild the roster.
2014: Then boom 12-4 before getting Blandio'd in GB robbing Tony Romo of his greatest season and the Cowboys best December in forever.
2015: Romo gets hurt and JG is incapable of winning a game with a backup QB. I heard Stephen Jones highly critical of JG on the radio toward the end of that year. The team goes 4-12 but JG has a built in excuse, at least in Jerry's mind with no Tony Romo.
2016: The team catches lighning in the bottle with 2 rookies on offense before once again losing to GB in the playoffs.
2017: 9-7 but JG has the Zeke excuse.
I know all of this is common knowledge but I wanted to write it down just to show that it seems like every time JG is on the hot seat he rebounds with a good year by Jerry's standards. I say that only because winning seasons and losing in the divisional round used to be considered a failure for this franchise. Now? in 7 full seasons, JG has had 3 winning seasons, 2 playoff appearances and one wildcard playoff win. This is deemed not only acceptable by Jerry Jones but he constantly praises his HC. It's sad how low the bar has been set for this once proud franchise. Only in Cincy has a coach been given this long with such little success.
