The Dallas coach appears headed for the breadlines after nine and a half seasons following a doomed campaign that began with
Super Bowl aspirations. Sound familiar?
Before the start of Week 17’s slate, Fox pundit Jay Glazer said that Cowboys coach Jason Garrett would need to at least take his team to the Super Bowl to have a shot at retaining his job. Dallas put up a valiant effort Sunday, particularly with a fiery offensive display in a 47-16 win over the hapless
Washington Redskins. But as time ticked away in the fourth quarter and cameras more frequently cut to a sullen Garrett in front of the Cowboys bench, the inevitable was apparent. They knew the Eagles were concurrently handling the
New York Giants and would be crowned NFC East champions. The 8-8 Cowboys, who lost four of their last six games including a killer to Philadelphia last week, were headed to clear out their lockers for the season and almost certainly bid adieu to Garrett for good after nine and a half seasons.
