Jason Garrett is out as coach of the Dallas Cowboys after missing the playoffs with an underachieving team in a make-or-break season.

Garrett’s future had been under question since the end of the regular season, and the Cowboys made his departure official on Sunday evening. His contract was due to expire later this month, but the team had already interviewed a number of other coaches before he was fired.

Garrett had been with the Cowboys for nine seasons, the second-longest tenure for a head coach with the franchise. Tom Landry’s reign lasted for 29 years. Garrett took over when Wade Phillips was fired halfway through the 2010 season.

The Cowboys finished 8-8 in the final year of Garrett’s contract. It’s the fourth time Dallas finished 8-8 and missed the postseason under the 53-year-old coach. The Cowboys fueled high preseason expectations with a 3-0 start before dropping eight of 12 and losing control of their playoff fate as the Philadelphia Eagles clinched the NFC East.

Garrett ended with a 85-67 as Cowboys head coach, making the playoffs three times. However, they made it past the divisional round of the postseason.

Curious as to whether he gets another head coaching job this offseason. He’s completely mediocre and not re-signing him was a no brainer, but he is a respectable guy who would represent a team well. 

He's an average coach. 

I wouldn't like the hire if it were my team.

This 100% falls on Dak Prescott. He failed to take advantage of a loaded cowgirls roster with a ton of talent. Everybody blame the HC  - but where is the '40 million dollar" QB who will lift a loaded roster?  

 

Dak stinks and I hope Jerry pays him 135M guaranteed as this will ensure their decent into oblivion.  Too bad the Gint's are in the same division as this will give the Jets haters a reason to bash Sam and try to make the case that 'danny fumbles dimes' is a bteer QB than Sam.

It's not Garrnts fault - It's Dak all the way. The guy is a JAG on a great team. Next season will confirm that Dak is a bum.
