The Dallas Cowboys were unable to make the playoffs in 2019 and decided it was finally time to part ways with Jason Garrett. While speaking about the current direction of the Cowboys, former head coach Jimmy Johnson revealed why he thinks Dallas struggled under Garrett via David Moore of the Dallas Morning News.

In essence, Johnson is exclaiming that Garrett was too conservative and wasn't aggressive enough during his tenure. After watching Garrett coach for 10 years, it's hard to argue that analysis of Garrett.

Over the 10 seasons that Garrett held the position, Dallas had a combined 85-67 record in the regular season. Additionally, the Cowboys only made the playoffs three times and won just two playoff games in that span.

Without a doubt, Garrett had the respect of his players in the locker room. But when America's Team is struggling to win games, it's time to make an internal change within the organization.

To replace Garrett, Dallas hired Mike McCarthy in hopes he could restore success into the team. Prior to the Cowboys, McCarthy spent 13 seasons with the Green Bay Packers. While McCarthy was in Green Bay, the Packers went 125-77-2 in the regular season and were 10-8 in the postseason.

Above all, McCarthy was able to accomplish something that Garrett was unable to do; win a Super Bowl. Following his departure from Dallas, Garrett has landed the offensive coordinator job for the New York Giants.

It was apparent that it was time to move on from Garrett after the team looked defeated in the second half of the 2019 season. With plenty of people listing the reasons why he was unsuccessful during his time in Dallas, Johnson summed it up in a couple of sentences.
