Results
The NFL is a result-driven business and Garrett has not delivered when it comes to championships. In his 10 years with the Cowboys, Garrett has reached the playoffs three times and has not reach the NFC Championship game. He has won his share of games, but the team has not been able to make an impact in the playoffs.
Run its Course
Being a head coach in the NFL for five seasons is a long time, but 10 years is an eternity and it might be time for the team to have a new voice. Garrett has been a strong contributor to the Cowboys organization for many years, but if they want to get to the next level, than it's time for a change.
Game Management
One of the games that stand out for Cowboys fans is this year's contest against the Patriots as they lost 13-9. In the fourth quarter with the Cowboys down 13-6, Garrett decided to kick the field goal on fourth down instead of going for it, which led to the Patriots nearly running out the clock to win the game. Dallas let the game slip out of their hands but that's something that's been happening more times than not.
Jerry Jones
After the Patriots game, Jerry Jones called out the Garrett and the coaching staff for their effort. Garrett took it in stride, but knows his seat is hot because Jones wants results and he hasn't been getting that lately. It would almost be surprising to see Garrett on the sidelines with the Cowboys next year.
Underachieving
The Cowboys are known for having one of the most talented teams in the NFL. Running back Ezekiel Elliott, quarterback Dak Prescott, the offensive line and edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence have done their share of damage in the regular season. However, when it comes to the postseason, they can't get the job done and that falls on the coaching staff whether it's fair or not.
Players Have his Back
Fans may want Garrett gone, but players don't feel the same way. Wide receiver Amari Cooper is one of the Cowboys players who support Garrett because he knows the players have to execute better in order to be a championship-caliber team. We'll see if they do that the next four games and possibly the postseason.
Support of Jerry Jones
Jones may have been critical of the coaching staff this year, but he's been supportive of Garrett and that goes back to when he was a player. Jones likes Garrett and has said he has no plans to fire him. Things always change in the NFL, so we'll see if Jones changes plans if the Cowboys don't reach the playoffs.
