Former Cowboys QB interviews for head coach, offensive coordinator
IRVING, Texas - Miami Dolphins quarterbacks coach Jason Garrett, a former Dallas quarterback, interviewed Wednesday with the Cowboys for their vacant offensive coordinator and head coaching positions.
ESPN reported Wednesday that Garrett impressed Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and team vice president Stephen Jones and has emerged as the top candidate for both the offensive coordinator and head coaching positions. Garrett also met separately with Bill Parcells, who retired Monday as head coach.
The Cowboys also sought permission to interview San Diego defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, San Diego general manager A.J. Smith said.
Garrett was the first outside candidate to visit Valley Ranch since Parcells retired after four seasons with the Cowboys, ending a 19-year coaching tenure that included two Super Bowl championships with the New York Giants.
Cowboys spokesman Brett Daniels confirmed that Garrett, who earned three Super Bowl rings in Dallas as a backup to Hall of Famer Troy Aikman, was in town for an interview.
The Dolphins granted permission for the Cowboys to talk to Garrett, who left the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., to visit with Jerry Jones and other team officials.
Garrett spent the last two seasons coaching Miami’s quarterbacks. He played for the Cowboys from 1993-99, appearing in 23 games (nine starts). He also played for the New York Giants, Tampa Bay and Miami. Garrett retired in 2004.
