A season that spun from seeming Super Bowl contention to playoff hopes squandered has marked the end of Jason Garrett's run leading the Cowboys.
After days of meetings, speculation and news of no news, the Cowboys are moving on without the second-longest-tenured coach in franchise history.
The Cowboys fired Garrett on Sunday, ending Garrett's time as Dallas head coach following a disappointing 2019 season that saw his team miss the playoffs, NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
FOX Sports' Jay Glazer first reported the news. The team later confirmed the news in a statement.
"We are extremely grateful to Jason Garrett for his more than 20 years of service to the Dallas Cowboys as a player, assistant coach and head coach," said Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones in a statement released Sunday. "His level of commitment, character and dedication to this organization has been outstanding at every stage of his career. In his nine full years as a head coach, he guided our team to three division championships while also having them in position to play for the NFC East title in the last game of the year in four other seasons. His tenure of leadership will be characterized by his ability to produce teams that always played with great effort, emotion and passion, and he represented our organization with great pride, loyalty and respect.
"Jason Garrett's legacy with the Dallas Cowboys will always be that of someone who strived for greatness every day that he walked through the door, and as someone who instilled the virtues of enthusiasm, hard work and appreciation for the profession in all of the men who played with him and for him.
"He is, and always will remain, a cherished member of the Dallas Cowboys family, and his contributions to the organization are greatly appreciated."
While Garrett's ousting isn't terribly surprising, how long it took after the conclusion of the regular season was an unpredictable turn that elongated Dallas' season-long soap opera.
Though rumblings of Garrett's dismissal have carried on since the season ended, the finality of the situation didn't come until a week after the Cowboys' last game of the season and midway through the rival Eagles' NFC Wild Card Game against the Seahawks.
Meanwhile, Dallas had already started interviewing possible successors to Garrett, whose contract was up on Jan. 14, with former Packers coach Mike McCarthy and former Bengals coach Marvin Lewis taking interviews.
The two sides will part after a long marriage that began with Garrett as a backup quarterback for seven of his eight NFL seasons from 1993-1999. From there, Garrett joined the coaching ranks as Dallas' offensive coordinator under Wade Phillips in 2007. He remained in that capacity until 2010, when he replaced Phillips as interim coach after a 1-7 start. Since then, Garrett compiled an 85-67 record as the Cowboys coach, including a victory over the rival Redskins in the 2019 finale that ended the tumultuous campaign on a winning note.
It was far too little to keep Garrett, though, as the Cowboys concluded a season that played out week by week in the headlines, with Dallas brimming with talent but struggling to find consistency or wins against decent competition.
At one point, the Cowboys were 3-0 and clicking on all cylinders, but a pair of three-game losing streaks firmly entrenched Garrett in the hot seat as the season slipped away game by game.
Fittingly, the 53-year-old Garrett's run ends after an 8-8 campaign -- the fourth of his tenure. The Cowboys made the playoffs just three times under Garrett, losing in the NFC Divisional Round all three instances. Their last NFC Championship berth remains 1995 -- when the team last won the Super Bowl with Garrett on the roster as a player.
The Cowboys' offense -- which boasts four Pro Bowlers in running back Ezekiel Elliott, center Travis Frederick, guard Zack Martin and tackle Tyron Smith -- was second in the NFL in total yards, but continually came up short when it mattered most. Against teams who finished above .500 this year, Dallas was just 2-6, as it struggled in particular down the stretch with five losses in seven weeks ahead of the finale wresting away their grip on the NFC East. The Eagles, in turn, finished the season with four consecutive wins to take the division.
Quite simply the team was stockpiled with high-profile talent in addition to the aforementioned Pro Bowlers, such as quarterback Dak Prescott, receivers Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup, unretired tight end Jason Witten, linebacker Jaylon Smith, pass rushers DeMarcus Lawrence and Robert Quinn and on and on.
But the 2019 season's storyline was all too familiar. Potential and star players in the Lone Star State didn't equate to true success, as the glory years of the 1990s -- and decades prior -- grew to be more distant.
As he leaves the Cowboys, Garrett does so as the longest-tenured coach in team chronicle since its first coach, legendary Hall of Famer Tom Landry. Unfortunately for the now former coach and the 'Boys, similar success to that achieved by Landry was never found.
As the decade moves on, it ends as the only one in Cowboys franchise history in which the team made the playoffs three or fewer times, per NFL Research.
The Jason Garrett era has ended and the Cowboys are moving on to another head coach to lead one of sports' most high-profile franchises.

It's probably a blessing in disguise to him.
I guess JJ was working all these days trying to make a deal with someone to replace him.
My advice to the new sucker would be, good luck sucker.

Could you see McDaniels, Brady, and even Gronk heading to Dallas? (Think Parcells and Bledsoe.)
Re: Garrett Really is Out - 01/06/20
Dall ass hires Marvin Lewis! š
Re: Garrett Really is Out - 01/06/20
Marvin has an awesome track record of keeping his players in line outside of the facility....
Combined with Jerry's love of "exciting" players, it would be a great choice.

Re: Garrett Really is Out - 01/06/20
Omg! My friend I was laughing my ass off about the thought! Good lord heās a horrible coach. As bad as he is Iāll never forget the day he completely let the whole word how bad he was. He hired Hue Jackson. Iām sorry man I was trying to harasses
Sitka Deer. Hopefully for cowboy fans the Lewis thing was just to keep the race baiting lunatics at bay. Pac man was hardly kept in line. He could barely keep his players in line on the field. God I hope they hire him! Iāve got Cowboy buddies Iād love to rib the rest of my life.

Re: Garrett Really is Out - 01/06/20
Cowboys will still suck
Re: Garrett Really is Out - 01/06/20
Garrett was about 10% of the Cowboy's problem. 90% sits in the sky box at every game.
Re: Garrett Really is Out - 01/06/20
Surprised he lasted this long. Jerry Jones is a fickle girlfriend.

Was that Gronk with Steve Harvey on New Years day?
Re: Garrett Really is Out - 01/06/20
McCarthy would bring some stability to the chaos - an adult in the room.
But Mike's had his payday (he also married into some wealth), so he doesn't have to take any szchit from Jerrah - I don't see that working without a legit GM.

Cowboys hire Mike McCarthy, a good choice IMO and probably the best coach available.
Boys hire Mike McCarthy

Former Packers coach Mike McCarthy has signed a deal to become the Cowboys' next head coach, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.

Re: Garrett Really is Out - 01/06/20
Should be an interesting couple of years with McCarthy and the Cowboys. 
Perhaps hanco has some insight on how it'll shake out

McCarthy gave up on coaching in GB long before he was let go. Glad, Dallas signed him! lol

As long as JJ still owns the Cowboys it doesn't make a tinkers damn.

Re: Garrett Really is Out - 01/06/20
Well, lets see, Dak throws behind his receivers.
Zeke no longer can find holes to run through on third and two.
The defense likes to line up in the neutral zone, or commit a personal foul on third down so they can stay and play another series.
They play three types of defense on the same play.
There has been no discipline on the team since Landry was fired.
A new coach is gonna fix all that??

Re: Garrett Really is Out - 01/06/20
This is a good hire for the Cowboys - sensibility over sexy.
The last thing they needed was a FNG that hasn't been a head coach in the NFL.
They have a lot of pieces in place and need the stability and accountability demands from a guy that's BTDT.
And I suspect the good ole boys club of former Cowboys-players-as-coaches has ended too.

Yep. Jimmy Johnson gave plenty examples of discipline.
He fired a top draft pick for falling asleep in the fuggin film room !
The idiot Barry Switzer started the āno disciplineā era.
He and Jones both got caught partying with Strippers along with Michael Irving all at once. Pictures surfaced at the time.
Most of that blame is on JJones, though.
He fired Jimmy Johnson, or actually Jimmy Johnson quit over Joneās claims that anyone could coach that team and win a SB with those players.
Re: Garrett Really is Out - 01/07/20
Not Barry Sanders, the HOF Detroit running back out of Oklahoma State . . . Barry Switzer, the former Oklahoma Coach. Him, JJ and Jerry all played together at Arkansas. Switzer proved JJ correct in his assessment that anyone could win a Super Bowl with that O-line and the Tripletts.

Yep. My dyslexia kicking in. Barry Switzer, of course. š¬
