In a stunning development, the Dallas Cowboys have officially confirmed the return of former head coach Jason Garrett to their coaching staff. According to ESPN, Garrett will take on the role of bench coach, a position that is set to bring him back to the sidelines in a new capacity after his tenure as head coach ended in 2019.
Garrett, who served as the Cowboys’ head coach from 2010 to 2019, was known for his steady leadership and offensive expertise. His return to the team marks a significant shift in the organization’s dynamic, as the Cowboys continue their pursuit of a Super Bowl under current head coach Mike McCarthy, who was appointed the ninth head coach in franchise history on January 8, 2020.
McCarthy, an established innovator with a Super Bowl championship under his belt from his time with the Green Bay Packers, took over the Cowboys’ coaching reins in hopes of guiding the team to its first championship since 1995. The addition of Garrett to the coaching staff, while a surprising move, appears to be an effort to bring further experience and depth to McCarthy’s staff as they look to build on recent successes and navigate the competitive NFC landscape.
Sources close to the team say Garrett’s primary responsibilities will include assisting McCarthy on game day, providing counsel on offensive strategy, and helping develop the younger players on the roster.
This unexpected coaching shift is already sending shockwaves through Cowboys Nation, as fans and analysts alike are eager to see how the two former head coaches will collaborate in the pursuit of another NFL title for Dallas.
