The Cowboys scored a season-high 47 points in their 2019 finale versus the Redskins Sunday, but that of course by no means offsets the very real need that team owner Jerry Jones feels to make a switch.
The Cowboys scored a season-high 47 points in their 2019 finale versus the Redskins Sunday, but that of course by no means offsets the very real need that team owner Jerry Jones feels to make a switch.
While the 77-year-old is not finishing the season by denouncing Jason Garrett as head coach, postgame Sunday he said simply, “I’ve made changes. And I can see myself making a lot of changes — in a lot of areas. The times call for that. I am about change.”
The win over Washington pushed the final 2019 record to 8-8, but .500 wasn’t good enough this season. It is Garrett’s 10th as head coach, and Dallas holds a mediocre 2-3 playoff record in that decade.
Sunday was the final game on the 53-year-old’s current contract. Many outlets (including Yahoo! and CBS Sports) report that the expectation is that Jones will allow that contract to simply expire this week without an extension.
The time after the final game of the season, though, included Jones praising Garrett a fair amount for the positive that Garrett brought to Jones’ organization.
Jones, though, made it quite clear he wasn’t tipping his hand on the coach’s future in Dallas, saying “There’s no door shut here, tonight,” and adding that he, “Wouldn’t do that here.”

Although the Seattle Seahawks are not for sale, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has expressed interest in someday owning the team.
The Seattle Seahawks are not for sale, and there’s no indication they will be for sale anytime soon, but — if they were — Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos could be interested in purchasing the team, according to the Washington Post (which Bezos owns).
The Seahawks have an estimated value of about $2.8 billion, which is chump change to Bezos and his $109 billion net worth, according to Bloomberg.
It not only would be easy for Bezos to afford buying the Seahawks, but he has the support of many other NFL owners who would love to see him get involved.
“I’m sure that eventually it would be in everyone’s best interests if someone that’s as community-oriented as him gets involved in the Seattle situation,” New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said in the Post piece.
“The Seattle situation,” as Kraft put it, is currently owned by the estate of Paul Allen and run by Allen’s sister, Jody. Allen died last year of complications stemming from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Jody Allen has made no indication that she plans to sell the team, and while she has not been in the public eye much since taking over, she has the support of both Pete Carroll (who signed a contract extension through 2021) and general manager John Schneider.
What this means for Seattle’s future is unclear, but it certainly seems plausible that Bezos, who attended the Super Bowl last year and posed for pictures with Shaquill and Shaquem Griffin, would be a strong candidate to own the team if the Allen estate decided to sell.
