Jason Garrett has no interest in responding to comments from executive vice president Stephen Jones that make it clear the Cowboys want him to return as head coach.
Garrett, whose contract expires at the end of this season, has consistently avoided any discussion about his future. He’s not about to alter that stance three days before the Cowboys face Philadelphia in a game that will likely determine the NFC East champion.
But it’s clear that Garrett, who turned down head coaching opportunities with Baltimore and Atlanta when he was the Cowboys offensive coordinator, wants to remain. And Jones has made it clear that’s what the organization wants, calling Garrett “the right man for the job’’ and saying that it’s in the best interest of the Cowboys that Garrett coach this team into the future.
Garrett took over on an interim basis midway through the 2010 season. On Jan. 5 in 2011, he was named the eighth head coach in franchise history and signed a four year contract.
The Cowboys were 8-8 in each of Garrett’s first three seasons before breaking the .500 barrier with last week’s win over Chicago. Stephen Jones said he and his father, owner Jerry Jones, are in agreement regarding the coach’s value to the franchise.
