Cowboys Keep Garrett

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett walks the sidelines during the first quarter of their NFL football game against the New York Giants in East Rutherford, New Jersey, November 14, 2010.
According to NFL.com's Mike Lombardi, Jerry Jones has decided to remove the interim tag and make Jason Garrett the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

I can't say I didn't see this one coming, Garrett has done a great job since taking over for Wade Phillips in November and bringing out the real playbook. It also didn't hurt that when asked about hiring a coach by the guys at the NFL Network last Saturday, Jerry Jones said that no coach has ever won a Super Bowl with one team and gone on to win another with another team, all-but ending any speculation of him going after Bill Cowher or Jon Gruden.

As a Cowboy fan, I'm fine with the decision, and can't wait to see what the 2011 Cowboys do when Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, and the new additions from the 2011 Draft (hopefully on the offensive line and in the secondary) arrive.

(Side note: I hate that we interviewed Ray Sherman when we knew Jason Garrett was our guy. The Rooney Rule is a joke.)
