Garrett a hot commodity
http://www.denverpost.com
The Cowboys soon might have a dilemma on their hands: keeping offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.
Under Garrett, the Dallas offense has been flourishing, with 75 points in two games. They are passing and running the ball well, and quarterback Tony Romo looks like the real deal. NFL owners always are looking for the next hot offensive mind, and Garrett will go to the front of the line of coaching candidates if the Cowboys stay hot.
The problem for Dallas owner Jerry Jones is that he would like to groom Garrett to be his head coach once the Wade Phillips era is over. But if Garrett - a former Dallas backup quarterback who was the Dolphins' quarterbacks coach last season - gets bites in the offseason, Jones will have a difficult time persuading him to stay for a job that is currently occupied.
One thing Jones has in his favor is cash flow. Perhaps a hefty raise could pacify Garrett and keep him from looking at potential head coaching jobs.
