Jerry Jones ain't going down without a fight. The Cowboys were embarrassed by the Giants in the NFC Divisional playoff game on Sunday, and now Jones is trying to keep from losing his offensive coordinator,
Jason Garrett. It doesn't look to be going well.
Garrett, 41, was the first coach Jones hired after
Bill Parcells resigned last off-season; now the first-year offensive coordinator is considered a rising star in the coaching ranks. Purportedly, the Ravens have offered Garrett the job, but
it's not a done deal yet:
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has communicated to Garrett that he would match the Ravens' financial offer -- without knowing the amount -- if Garrett rejects it, according to ESPN.com.
The
Baltimore Sun's Jamison Hensley writes that Garrett left Baltimore still employed by the Cowboys, but was presumably on his way to Atlanta for another interview. If it comes down to Baltimore and Dallas, the
Ravens could have the upper hand because they are expected to outbid the Cowboys.
