It was expected that Jason Garrett would be formally relieved of his post as Dallas Cowboys head coach shortly after the disappointing finish to the team's 2019 season, but New Year's Eve and then New Year's Day passed without much word coming from the team's facility. However, the Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones have reportedly decided to enter the 2020 season without Garrett as the team's coach, a source told ESPN's Ed Werder.

"After showing an 'abundance of care and respect,' for Garrett, Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones have decided the coach will not be part of the organization moving forward," ESPN reports. Werder tweeted Thursday evening that the "next phase to involve candidate interviews will begin quickly" after Garrett's firing is made official.

I assume about 10 of those seasons were as head coach, which is a disgrace - Garrett had no qualification to get the job or to keep it beyond the fact that owner Jerry Jones reportedly "adored" him. Ten years was enough time to waste Tony Romo's career, Jason Witten's career, Dez Bryant's career, and a good chunk of the current Cowboys' careers. The Cowboys were and are loaded - Jones' adoration of Garrett ripped off his fans and squandered player years that could have been used on serious playoff runs.

YES you’re right. That would make sense.

I know, I know. I misread the post.

Tom Coughlin is available. Just sayin’.

I’d be shocked if Tom Coughlin ever gets another head coaching job in the NFL.
