Head coach Jason Garrett will meet again with owner/general manager Jerry Jones and the rest of the Dallas Cowboys’ brass on Thursday, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.
It will be the third such meeting since Sunday’s season finale, after previous meetings on Monday and Tuesday, all reportedly involving Garrett, Jones and Jones’ son, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones.
Garrett’s contract expires Jan. 14. The team has made no announcement regarding the meetings or Garrett’s future, but he is not expected to be retained.
Multiple outlets have speculated that Jerry Jones would prefer to let Garrett’s contract run out rather than fire the coach, who has been on the Cowboys’ coaching staff since 2007 after spending seven years on their roster as a backup quarterback in the 1990s.
Garrett was named interim head coach eight games into the season in 2010, succeeding Wade Phillips, and took over on a permanent basis in 2011. He has an 85-67 career record as coach but is 2-3 in the playoffs.
The Cowboys finished 8-8 and out of the playoffs in 2019, and Jones said Monday he anticipates making changes in the organization, but he added there was “no shareable timeline.”
