Of course Jerrah will keep him. He’s got the perfect “yes man” in position who will put up with Jerrah’s undermining him before, during, and after each game. Makes perfect sense that Jerrah doesn’t actually want a real coach that might actually demand that Jerrah stay in his box where he belongs and let him (the coach) do the job he was hired to do.

Garrett’s job safe “no matter what the score is”. That sounds like a challenge.

Jerry Jones is everything you poor b@$!ards wish you were! Quit hating on the man cause he desperately wants perfection even if it means pissing off a coach or two, you would do the same thing!!
!!!!!Jerry Jones for President!!!!

I grew up there, and it is so obvious the Cowboys will never do anything as long as he owns that team. The Dallas Cowboys may be the biggest draw on tv, but it is only because 3/4 of the audience wants to see them lose. I write this with no joy.

Nah. Garrett will be back next year. For Jason to get the axe, it would be the unspoken admission that Jones was wrong about Garrett ~ ~ TWICE! And In Jerry’s world, he is never wrong. Garrett has one year ~ next year ~ and if it flops, Jones will throw him under the bus before the season ends. Jerry is desperate and it shows. It is not beyond the pale that Jones might even do what Al Davis did ~ ~ take over as head coach. Senility makes one do strange things ~ and if you really listen to Jones, it sounds like he is losing any grip on reality that he might have once had.

why would you tell a coach that no matter how
badly he handles what basically is a playoff game
his job is still safe. He should be putting a little preassure on Garrett so maybe he doesn’t
screw up. Maybe his pregame speech might
be a little more inspiring. Unfortunately Garrett has managed to screw up without any pressure.
Maybe JJ should have said “we all know that
every year some coaches are fired and just as
many are hired”.

Hey genius….I’m a jerra hater but get your facts straight.
1/1996 super bowl win against steelers
12/1996 playoff win against vikings

Still pretty dismal.

I think Jones will not fire Garrett. I think that is very unfortunate. The Cowboys’ game plans have been marginal, at best. The Cowboys had wins vs the Jets, Kittens, Pats, Pigeons(Cards), and the Gnats – all blown because of bad playcalls and time management issues. Vs the Jets – when you have 1st down on the 1, run the ball, among other mistakes. Vs. the Kittens-once up 27-3, run the ball and if there is a pick 6, maybe run the ball, not continue to throw (another 2 ints – including another pick 6). Vs. the Pats – too conservative vs. a defense that had no CBs (now they use WRs in the defensive backfield). Vs the Cards – inside the Pigeons 40 – 4 x = no scores, no timeout called, iced kicker on a timeout (a 1st), also had 10 days to prepare and the Cards were 4-7. Vs. the Gnats – blown coverage multiple times, 3rd/5 goes for a long pass, rather than a screen or easier pattern (was a good throw by Romo, Austin blew it), blocked field goal (no adjustments on the line), up by 12 with 3 1/2 mins and lose. Overall, the Cowboys have no desire or discipline and that comes from the head coach.

I really wonder why there is so much drama around the cowboys franchise. There are several other franchise owners that don’t meddle as much or are in so much in limelight. Successful ones too!

You can bet Garret is toast if the Cowboys suffer a bad loss on natl TV. just count how many owner’s box shots the NBC producer punches up. Can you say Jeff Fischer?

Jerry Jones should fire that bumbling GM that hires these underacheving coaches and signs underacheiving players.

What is Jerry supposed to say? There is one coach that Jerry has wanted for years but was always under contract until now…Jeff Fisher.

Makes you wonder if Jerrah has enough cash to dump another coach mid contract.

People keep bringing it up because Garrett has produced average results and some quite questionable calls. Most importantly Jones has changed his mind despite loud endorsements.

The question should be whether or not Garrett is willing to come back and coach a team with that secondary.

Like I said earlier in the season, the Cowgirls will finish 8-8. Their glorified QB’s coach will go the way of those who have tried before him (Jim Zorn, Josh McDaniels). They start 8-8 and the downward spiral continues after that. Jerry Jones should take his head out of his a*s and hire someone who can take this talented team somewhere respectable.

Garrett is a good man to have at the helm. He’s made some dumb mistakes for sure. But he’s the kind of coach that has plenty of upside potential. I’d rather have a quiet, serious coach like him than a crude, loudmouth.

We have an owner here in Cleveland that seems like he doesn’t give a rip about his team and NEVER EVER does interviews (be accountable). We would give anything to have an owner who is out in front and actually has high expectations for success. Here in Cleveland tickets are always cheap and easy the 2nd half of every season because they are out of the playoff hunt year in and year out.
