ason Garrett had the interim tag removed and will be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, a team source said Sunday.The Cowboys interviewed receivers coach Ray Sherman to satisfy the NFL's "Rooney Rule," which requires teams to interview at least one minority candidate."For him to even consider me, I'm excited about it, flattered about it," Sherman told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram before Garrett was hired. "You never know where life is going to take you sometimes. I don't look at what he is going to do with someone else. I'm flattered he is considering me for the position. I have coached for a long time. I have been around. I think what I have done as a coach has something to do with it also."Garrett is 4-3 entering Sunday's season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. He took over for Wade Phillips, who was fired after a 1-7 start and most likely will land with the Houston Texans as their defensive coordinator.Garrett, a former NFL quarterback, joined the Cowboys in 2007 as offensive coordinator. He long was considered the coach-in-waiting in Dallas.
 
Would love to see a big named D-coordinator in there...maybe Marvin Lewis after he gets the axe in Cincy?

Didnt Marvin Lewis run a hybrid 3/4-4/3 in Baltimore?

No, it was a pure 4-3. Tony Siragusa and Sam Adams at T and Michael McCrary and Rob Burnett at DE. They didn't start playing 3-4 until they drafted Suggs, which was post-Lewis.
 
There are 2 D-coordinators that I'd love to see in Dallas next year. Dom Capers or Mike Nolan.

Capers is now running GB's D but his contract expires at the end of the season. He's run some great 3-4 schemes in his day. Further, when Garrett was interviewing a couple years ago, Capers was to be his DC.

Nolan has run Miami's D this year and Denver's last year. Both were much, much stronger under his watch than in previous or subsequent years. He also runs a 3-4 scheme. His availability is contingent upon Miami cleaning house.

I know some want a scheme change to a 4-3. But Ware and Spencer are not built to be ends in that scheme. They are too small and will get worn down going against 320 lb OTs for 70 snaps a game. Further, our LBs are totally wrong for the scheme, especially the backups. It would take significant re-trenching to install a 4-3. Given the large number of holes at other spots, notably the OL and safety, I don't see that we can afford to switch to a 4-3 this upcoming season.

 
funny, they made a point to say in the pregame on fox that he is INTERIM head coach and has not been made permanent.

 
Today's game showing why this is such a bad idea.

He can't call a play to take advantage of philly's aggressiveness and is afraid to throw the ball. This looks just like one of the early season Wade era games.

Jason Garrett thought process: "oh no, they're blitzing, I better just call quick outs and dump offs to the RBs so the QB doesn't make a mistake!"

Weak sauce from Garrett today.

Perhaps this is due to the 3rd string QB being in the game. Also his offense is/was averaging around 30 points a game with Kitna so I think he is doing alright. If you want to be mad, be mad at the offensive line as their lack of protection has severly limited Garrets playcalling ability.
