I’ll preface this by saying Garrett should not return, but he has a point if he was not allowed to cal his own plays when coaching for his job. This is just an example of the dysfunction present here in Dallas. If Garrett wasn’t trusted to exercise control over who called plays, then he should have been fired at that time.

I don’t think it’s underhanded for say, “But I didn’t get to do it my way,” if he in fact was not allowed.
That makes no sense. The offense was #1 in the league. It had nothing to do with that and more to do with the bumbling coaching mistakes that cost this team time and time again. If Jerry was smart he would tell him to GTFO with that shit! So the one time the offense was taken out of his hands they were better but the other phases of the team he controlled sucked ass... So take a walk Red Fucker!

This is just preposterous.

Not even Bill Belichick would be treated like this if his contract expired and there was an understanding that he would be leaving once the season had concluded.

It is absurd that they are doing this for a football coach but it's even more ridiculous when you consider that Jason Garrett just oversaw the worst decade in Cowboys history.

It really is sad to see what a joke that family has turned what is supposed to be one of the NFL's proudest franchises into.

I agree, if the owner had to mandate he couldn't call plays any longer then he should have just fired him a long time ago. But that's not an argument to keep Garrett longer.

Yes, I forget, what year did he get playcalling taken from him so Jerry could sell keeping Jason? 2014?

I guess if Garrett comes back with all the folks on this board stand by their resolutions there will be almost no posters commenting. That will be weird.
Oh I'll still come say hi to everyone. Hell I'll just be waiting my time for Garrett to be gone. May even watch the drafts since Garrett has nothing to do with them and the players will likely outlast the coach.

Don't play with me like this Rev, I'm over here getting ready to give up the team for good

It's like being talked back from the ledge.

Cowboys to move on without Jason Garrett, source says

ESPN
Jason Garrett's time with the Dallas Cowboys is coming to an end.

A source told ESPN's Ed Werder that 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.

According to multiple sources, the Joneses and Garrett did not have their scheduled meeting at The Star on Thursday after meeting on Monday and Tuesday without any resolution on the coach's status. Garrett's contract is set to expire on Jan. 14 and his status with the team has been an issue since last February when the Cowboys opted not to offer him an extension.

The Cowboys missed the playoffs in 2019 and finished 8-8 for the fourth time in Garrett's nine season as coach. He will finish as the second-longest tenured and second-most winningest coach in team history to Tom Landry with a record of 85-67, but he won just two playoff games and was unable to get past the divisional round.

Once the parting becomes official, the Cowboys will begin their first full-blown coaching search since Bill Parcells' retirement following the 2006 season. Before hiring Wade Phillips ahead of the 2007 season, the Cowboys cast a wide net in their interview process that included Garrett, Norv Turner, Mike Singletary, Jim Caldwell, Ron Rivera, Todd Bowles, Todd Haley and Tony Sparano

Werder ain't Jane Slater. I trust his source.
