Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett has held his job full-time for eight years now, making him one of the longest-tenured head coaches in the league. And he could be set to stay even longer if a recent tweet by Cowboys insider Jeff Sullivan is to be believed.
Sounds like another extension could be signed soon he’s not going anywhere.

Garrett signed a five-year, $30 million extension in January 2015, which means he is under contract as Cowboys head coach through the end of next season.
Garrett is not a very popular figure among Cowboys fans, many of whom would likely be disappointed if Dallas does decide to keep Garrett around longer.
The Cowboys have not enjoyed much success under Garrett’s tenure. They have a 70-56 (.556) record in his eight-plus years in charge and have made the playoffs just twice during that time.
They are off to another unconvincing 3-3 start this year, in large part due to their offense’s struggles. Although, they are coming off an impressive 40-7 beatdown of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
But despite his uninspiring track record, his job security remains relatively safe as owner Jerry Jones seems to have a soft spot for him. Although Jones openly questioned Garrett’s recent decision not to go for it on 4th down, he himself doesn’t seem to question the fact that Garrett is the right man to lead the team.
Only time will tell if this report turns out to be true. But if Garrett can get the Cowboys to build off their big win over the Jags, he should do his chances of securing that extension a lot of good.
