Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made it appear as though head coach Jason Garrett's future is not on any kind of shaky ground following the 2018 NFL season. However, his actions since then have suggested otherwise.
With Garrett in the final year of his contract, Jones could have solidified his confidence by offering an extension. According to ESPN's Todd Archer, he is not expected to do so this offseason.
Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones is not expected to extend the contract of coach Jason Garrett, short or long term, sources said Thursday.
Jones' comments earlier this week suggested that he was happy with how the 2018 campaign played out. He even indicated that Garrett's job was not in any kind of jeopardy moving forward. Of course, his decision to let things play out for another year made it clear that he is not ready to commit just yet.
There is good reason for Jones to be skeptical. The Cowboys have made the playoffs just three times in Garrett's nine seasons as head coach. They never managed to advance past the divisional round once they got there. His seat had started to heat up following a slow start to the 2018 campaign. Fortunately, they were able to enjoy a bit of a resurgence before ultimately losing to the Los Angeles Rams in the playoffs.
Although the Cowboys ultimately came up short, their expectations are now higher than ever. As a result, this will be a deciding year for Garrett to prove he is capable of leading them to a championship game.
