Jason Garrett has landed on his feet.
The former Dallas Cowboys head coach, who was canned Jan. 5 after a bumpy 2019 season, reportedly has found a new gig.
The New York Giants, now under the direction of former New England Patriots special teams/wide receivers coach Joe Judge, have made Garrett their offensive coordinator, according to ESPN’s Ed Werder.
Former #Cowboys HC Jason Garrett has agreed to become the offensive coordinator for the New York Giants and first-year head coach Joe Judge, per source:

Jason Garrett is a former NYG backup QB, and he provides rookie HC Joe Judge a veteran play-caller, his experience as a head coach, and lot of knowledge of the NFC East and especially the rival #Cowboys after a decade as HC in Dallas.

Although there was plenty of tumult during Garrett’s time in the Lone Star State, he very well might be better served as a coordinator. And as Werder alludes to, having a former head coach as an OC might be a nice luxury for Judge, who has been neither a head coach, offensive nor defensive coordinator.
