Following his father's resignation afterColumbia's 0–10 1985 season,Garrett and his brothers (JuddandJohn) transferred to Princeton, although none played varsity in 1986 for different reasons (Jason was an ineligible transfer).[2]

Garrett sat out the 1986 season because of the transfer rules while focusing on running the scout team, which included his brothers. The next year, as a junior, Garrett was named the startingquarterback.Although he piloted Princeton to a win against his former team, Columbia (a loss that gave Columbia the Division I record for straight losses, at 35), Garrett was also involved in a losing effort against them as a senior, snapping Columbia's by then 44-game losing streak.[3]He received the Asa S.

At the time, he was ranked in the categories: lowest pass interception percentage (1.8% – school record), total yards of offense (4,555 – second in school history), total yards of offense in a season (2,485 – third in school history), most passing yards (4,274 – second in school history), most passing yards in a season (2,217 – fourth in school history), most completions (366 – second in school history), most completions in a season (204 – third in school history), most touchdown passes (20 – tied for fourth).

In the eighth game of the season after Aikman injured his left hamstring against theNew York Giantsin the third quarter, Garrett came in and led two touchdown drives while completing five of six passes for 34 yards. He was named the starter for the next game against thePhoenix Cardinals,completing two of six passes for 25 yards and helped the team score on a field goal before being replaced on the third series in favor ofBernie Kosar,who had been signed four days earlier.[12]Kosar became the backup quarterback for the rest of the season after the game.

Dallas Cowboys

[edit]

Offensive coordinator

[edit]

In January 2007, Garrett was hired by theDallas Cowboysto be their offensive coordinator. He guided the Cowboys to the second-best offense in the NFL as the team finished with a 13–3 record,[20]which made Garrett an attractive head coaching prospect. In January 2008, he interviewed for the head coaching job of theBaltimore RavensandAtlanta Falcons,receiving offers from both, but ultimately opted to remain with the Cowboys.[21]Garrett's salary for the 2008 season was nearly $3 million, the highest salary for an assistant coach in the NFL at the time.[22]On December 29, 2008, theDetroit Lionsreceived permission to speak to Garrett regarding the team's head coaching vacancy according to ESPN sources.[23]In January 2009, theDenver Broncosinterviewed him as a possible replacement forMike Shanahan.[24]Garrett was also a finalist for theSt. Louis Rams' head coaching position to replace interim head coachJim Haslett,but the job ultimately went toSteve Spagnuolo.[25]

Head coach

[edit]

On November 8, 2010, Garrett was named as interim head coach of the Cowboys after head coachWade Phillipswas fired after the Cowboys began the2010 seasonwith a 1–7 record.[26]On November 14, Garrett won his first game as a head coach, beating the favoredNew York Giantsby a score of 33–20 atNew Meadowlands Stadium.The next week, he led the Cowboys to a 35–19 victory over theDetroit Lions,their first home win all season.

After Garrett finished the 2010 season with a 5–3 record down the stretch, he was officially named the eighth head coach in Cowboys history on January 6, 2011.[27]Garrett was the first head coach born after the team was founded in 1960, and the first former Cowboys player to hold the post. From 2011 to 2013, he had three straight 8–8 seasons, losing in the regular-season finale each season toNFC Eastdivision rivalsNew York Giants,Washington Redskins,andPhiladelphia Eaglesto miss the division championship and the playoffs each time.[28][29][30]

In2014,Garrett achieved head-coaching success for the first time. The Cowboys, featuring several key draft picks maturing on the offensive line and the emergence ofDeMarco Murrayas a dominant running back, finished atop the NFC East with a 12–4 record and were tied for the best record in the conference with theGreen Bay Packersand theSeattle Seahawks.[31]The Cowboys were undefeated on the road, including impressive wins over the Seahawks and the NFC East frontrunners (at the time), thePhiladelphia Eagles.[32]However, Garrett's team lost the three-way tiebreaker to Green Bay and Seattle and therefore hosted theDetroit Lionsin theWild Card Round,which featured a controversial "flag pick up" after a penalty during a late Detroit drive, thereby allowing Dallas an improved chance to make a comeback and defeat the Lions by a score of 24–20.[33]In theDivisional Roundagainst theGreen Bay Packers,hyped as a rematch of the famousIce Bowl NFL championship game from 1967,the Cowboys held a lead in the second half, but after losing the lead due to a lateAaron Rodgerstouchdown pass, had a potentially game-winning catch byDez Bryantthat was overturned in official replay, sealing a 26–21 road loss to Green Bay.[34]

On January 13, 2015, Cowboys ownerJerry Jonesand Garrett agreed on a contract that kept Garrett in Dallas for five more years and paid him $30 million.[35]The Cowboys entered the2015 seasonwith great expectations, but startingquarterbackTony Romoplayed in only four games after suffering two fractures in his left collarbone, and the team finished with a 4–12 record.[36]

Garrett in 2016

With the emergence of rookie quarterbackDak Prescottand rookie running backEzekiel Elliott,the Cowboys bounced back in2016.They finished atop the NFC East with a 13–3 record, aided by an 11-game winning streak, and earned the #1-seed in the NFC along with a first-round bye in the playoffs.[37]However, the Cowboys were upset intheir first playoff gamebyAaron Rodgersand theGreen Bay Packerswith a last-second field goal byMason Crosby,losing 34–31.[38]Garrett was named theNFL Coach of the Yearat the end of the season.[39]

Garrett in 2017

In2017,the Cowboys finished with a 9–7 record and missed the playoffs.[40]This was partially because star running backEzekiel Elliottwas suspended for six games (Weeks 10–15) as a result of violating theNFL personal conduct policy.[41]

In2018,the Cowboys bounced back from a disappointing 3–5 record at the bye week to win seven of their last eight games and clinch the NFC East for the third time since Garrett became head coach.[42][43]The Cowboys narrowly defeated theSeattle Seahawksby a score of 24–22 in theWild Card Round,[44]but lost on the road in theDivisional Roundto theLos Angeles Ramsby a score of 30–22.[45]

In2019,the Cowboys finished with an 8–8 record and missed the playoffs.[46]Towards the end of the season, they had led the NFC East until losing to their division rival, thePhiladelphia Eaglesin Week 16.

On January 5, 2020, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones announced that the Cowboys would not renew Garrett's contract, which expired at the end of the 2019 season.[47]Garrett finished his Cowboys tenure with an 85–67 (.559) regular-season record and a 2–3 (.400) playoff record for a combined record of 87–70.

Garrett had the second longest tenure of being the Cowboys head coach afterTom Landry.

New York Giants

[edit]

On January 17, 2020, Garrett was hired by theNew York Giantsas their offensive coordinator under new head coachJoe Judge.[48]Garrett tested positive forCOVID-19in December 2020 and missed the team's Week 15 matchup against theCleveland Browns.[49]

On November 23, 2021, Garrett was fired by the Giants.[50]Upon his firing, Garrett was rumored to be the frontrunner for theDuke University footballhead coaching job to replace long time head coachDavid Cutcliffe.[51]However, just a few days later, Duke hiredMike Elkoas their head coach.[52]
