With Super Bowl expectations coming off of a playoff win, Dallas was supposed to at least repeat as NFC East champions. Instead, the Cowboys failed to win close games, had three wins against teams with winning records, and Garrett posted his fourth 8-8 season. The Cowboys parted ways with Garrett on Jan. 5.

Fun fact: O’Brien now has the same playoff record as Garrett at 2-3.
