There has been much talk around the league about Jason Garrett and how he might get fired for his bad play calling and his early losses. But I am here to tell you that Jason is here to stay.6 weeks ago the Cowboys were at 3-5, the Giants were doing great and on top of the division, the Cowboys did not even think they could make the playoffs and talks about Garrett being fired were at its maximum. Romo was having multiple interception games and the Cowboys were down in the dumps. But then the Cowboys saw their schedule. The Cowboys knew they had what it takes to beat all of those teams left on their schedule and got their hopes back.
Garrett led the Cowboys to 2 straight wins before a disappointing loss to the Redskins on Thanksgiving. The talks then started up again about firing Garrett.
But Garrett rallied the team to a win against their biggest rivals the Eagles, and then tragedy struck. Jerry Brown, a practice squad member was killed in a car crash, the car was driven by Cowboy Josh Brent. The Cowboys learned about this on the plane ride to the game against the Bengals. Garrett said the best way to honor him was to play their hearts out. And Garrett really rallied the Cowboys to an emotional win.
The Cowboys then played the Steelers, who were struggling but are still a powerful football team. Once again Garrett rallied them to an overtime win.
And after all that, the talks of the firing of Garrett have slowed down a bit. Garrett has brought his 3-5 team all the way to 8-6, back in the race for the playoffs, in a tie for the NFC East lead, and lead the Cowboys through tragedy.
Which is why Garrett is here to stay.
