The Cowboys lost one assistant coach on Wednesday, but it appears they will be keeping another coach around for a while.
While the organization has not confirmed that offensive coordinator Jason Garrett will remain with the Cowboys, multiple sources, along with the official website of the Baltimore Ravens - one of the two teams he interviewed with this week - are stating that Garrett has turned down the Ravens' and Falcons' head-coaching offers and will stay in Dallas as offensive coordinator.
The Cowboys have announced Garrett will have a press conference to officially announce his plans at 2 p.m. Thursday at Valley Ranch.

I have a problem with this from the Cowboys point of view, if Garrett wants to stay he can but to pay an assistant that kind of cash is like undermining their head coach.

Well, from what I can tell, Wade's on shaky ground anyway. This pretty much changes nothing, really.

Despite head-coaching interest from the Ravens and Falcons, Jason Garrett will remain in Dallas as offensive coordinator and replace recently-departed Tony Sparano as the Cowboys' assistant head coach.

ESPN was reporting he'd be named assistant head coach and become the highest paid assistant coach in the NFL at $3 million per season.

Wow, I guess Jones really DID want to keep him in the worst way, eh?

Wow. 3 million. I'm still surprised he didn't leave. You never know when a head coaching job will come up again.

Marvin Lewis did much the same thing. Bide your time and wait for a prime opening instead of scraps like Baltimore or Atlanta. In Garrett's case, it'll probably wind up being right there in Dallas in a year, two or three.

It wont be two or three years before he become HC of the Cowboys.
