Whether it’s relayed as not renewing his contract or an early firing, the Cowboys have taken the steps to move on from head coach Jason Garrett according to Ed Werder of ESPN.com.
Source: #Cowboys Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones have moved slowly and with “abundance of care and respect” for Jason Garrett. That phase expected to conclude soon with Garrett not part of organization. Next phase to involve candidate interviews will begin quickly thereafter.

Garrett’s contract is set to expire on Jan. 14 and after the Cowboys missed the playoffs in this season and finished 8-8 for the fourth time in his nine-year tenure, Jerry Jones and company have decided to move on.
Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley and former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer are just some of the names being thrown around to replace Garrett.
