Per the report, owner/general manager Jerry
Jones and vice president Stephen Jones did not have their
meeting with Garrett as scheduled at the team's facility
Thursday, after they also met on Monday and Tuesday. The team
has made no announcement regarding the meetings or Garrett's
future.
Garrett, whose contract officially expires Jan. 14, was not
expected to return to the team after failing to reach the
playoffs despite a 3-0 start and a 6-3 record through nine
games.
Multiple outlets have speculated that the Joneses would prefer
to let Garrett's contract run out rather than fire the coach,
who has been on the Cowboys' coaching staff since 2007 and spent
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.
