I for one am happy he is staying, both for the Cowboys and for Garrett. Neither Baltimore or Atlanta is a team that is anywhere near winning in the next 2-3 years and that is what it would take to stay as head coach. I also think Garrett has a sense of unfinished business here in Dallas, if the Cowboys had gone to the Superbowl he may well have left. I think he wants to show he can win big with this group before moving on. Last, I think Garrett himself understands that he has only been a coach for 3 years. To go from QB coach to head coach in 4 years with no prior experience coaching is a meteoric rise, which may well have led to an equally spectacular failure.
Plus he is making serious $$$ (as much if not more than Phillips) and is the obvious successor to the premiere coaching job in the NFL.
Go Cowboys!!

Okay, now this not just because I'm a Packer fan since two of my rather uninformed sons became Boyz fans back when they went out to visit my brother in the '70's when he worked for Ross Perot in Dallas.
But let's be honest. When the Boyz offense was flying high and off the chart early in the season Jason was annointed as the next NFL offensive genius. And that's all fine and good. But with the way their offense played the last part of the season and especialy the fiasco against the Giants...Jason also must accept the responsibility for the failure.
A small child could see that the Cowboy wideouts were being given at least a 7-10 yard cushion at each snap. They could have had local boy Tony R flip them easy short (and possibly long) gainers at almost any time. Yet they seemed intent on pounding it into the line.
Then that final series was a joke. They had about 20 yards to go for a TD and they have arguably the best possesion receiver in the NFL...and they do not throw the ball to him at least 3 of those final 4 downs. Well, actually they didn't throw to him even twice...or once! Did Jason the genius go brain dead or what?
Surprises me that T.O. (or Jerry Jones) didn't go ballistic after that one. Why pay these guys $10 million a year and then not even attempt to let them make a play. Makes no sense to me. Whadda you think ND?
