Cowboys fire Garrett
Print Edition
Jason Garrett is out after a decade as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, owner Jerry Jones announced on Sunday, a week after the National Football League’s most valuable team failed to make the playoffs. Jones had kept faith with Garrett during several middling seasons, but the owner’s patience finally ran out as Dallas finished the season 8-8 and missed the playoffs by one game. The announcement of Garrett’s departure, however, did not come until seven days after the end of the regular season. “We are extremely grateful to Jason Garrett for his more than 20 years of service to the Dallas Cowboys as a player, assistant coach and head coach,” Jones said in a statement. Garrett’s fate was probably sealed two weeks ago when the Cowboys lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in their penultimate game, in which a victory would have clinched the weak NFC East. Instead, the Eagles advanced to the postseason, where they lost to the Seattle Seahawks in the wildcard round on Sunday. Garrett, 53, had an 85-67 record with Dallas, three times guiding the team into the playoffs.
