Jason Garrett has decided to stay in Big D! That news seems to be a welcome relief for many fans. That news also seems to have gone against conventional Sports Writers Wisdom regarding the future of Garrett. Most were expecting a departure from the hallowed halls of Valley Ranch to a loftier head coaching perch elsewhere.
Personally, I never understood the train of thought regarding such an expected move. Since Jason was hired by Jerry Jones (before the hiring of Wade Phillips), I've said that Jason Garrett would be the Cowboys Head Coach sooner or later. Jerry has always liked Jason and his coaching faculties, especially since they were groomed at the feet of another man on Jerry's past Super Bowl payroll, Jason's father, Jim. Wade simply was the right man at the right time for Jerry to allow Jason to grow into the job.
Now that Jason is making almost as much as Wade Phillips and has also been handed the title of Assistant Head Coach, people are now speculating how long it will take for the next move upward to happen. That probably depends on Wade!
