Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is entering the final year of his deal, and given the Cowboys' track record of handling head coaches, you would think Garrett would have some reason to be concerned heading into 2019.

But Garrett insists that he isn't even giving it much thought:

“To be honest with you, I never really think about that,” Garrett said, per Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk. “I never thought about that as a player. I don’t think about that as a coach. I just come to work every day and try to do the best job that I can do in the position that I have. Very fortunate to do what I love to do in this great league, in this great organization with the people that we have, the coaching staff that we have, the players, and the support staff that we have. So, just come and try to embrace that opportunity each and every day and try to contribute as much as I can.”

Garrett has been the Cowboys' head coach since the middle of 2010, when he took over for Wade Phillips. He has already earned one extension from Jerry Jones, as he landed a five-year, $30 million deal following the 2014-15 campaign.

Garrett also holds the distinction of being at the helm for two of Dallas' three playoff wins since 1997, but considering he fact that the Cowboys have also not made it past the Divisional Round in over two decades, you have to wonder how much patience the organization is going to have if Garrett gets knocked out before the NFC Championship Game yet again.

Of course, that is also assuming the Cowboys even make the playoffs, which could become a problem if Ezekiel Elliott does not return from his holdout.
