Dallas Cowboys’ owner and general manager Jerry Jones isn’t in a hurry to give the team’s head coach Jason Garrett a new deal. According to ESPN, Garrett, whose deal runs out after 2019, is unlikely to get a contract extension at this point.
While Garrett’s future can change depending on the team’s success next season, the belief is that the Cowboys will be looking for a new head coach in 2020 barring a Super Bowl appearance. Jones also gave this impression in a recent interview when he was asked whether the 52-year-old will get an extension.
“None of that is anything that I would talk about in this forum in any way, and so we won’t get there,” – Cowboys’ owner told 105.3 The Fan on Wednesday. “I think I’ve made clear how I feel about Jason in terms of where he is right now as far as our ability to help us win football games. I think if you look at what we’ve done over the last few years, you’ll see a pretty good winning record there. [But] it’s not enough, not enough.”
After a short stint with the Miami Dolphins, Jason Garrett joined Dallas Cowboys in 2007 as an offensive coordinator and worked his way to get the head coaching position in 2011. During his eight full seasons with the organization, Garrett led Dallas to three postseason appearances, but failed to advance past NFC Divisional Game all three times.
