  on jan. 5, 2020, the team made it official with an article on the dallas cowboys website reporting that the team opted to part ways with garrett:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  team owner/general manager jerry jones confirmed the news in an official statement.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  “we are extremely grateful to jason garrett for his more than 20 years of service to the dallas cowboys as a player, assistant coach and head coach,” jones said. “his level of commitment, character and dedication to this organization has been outstanding at every stage of his career.”
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  the news gives some clarity to a story that has gotten quite confusing since the cowboys were eliminated from the postseason last weekend. following that win against washington, jones declined to comment on garrett’s future, stating he had no timetable for a decision.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  according to a press release issued by the nfl on jan. 6, 2020, the cowboys are expected to hire former green bay packers coach mike mccarthy.
