Dallas Cowboys Rumors: Jason Garrett Will Return as Head Coach in 2016 NFL Season

There have been rumors throughout the 2015 season that the Dallas Cowboys could move on from head coach Jason Garrett following the season. According to reports, that will not end up being the case and Garrett will return as head coach in the 2016 NFL season.

Albert Breer of NFL.com was told by Cowboys' executive vice president/COO Stephen Jones that Garrett is safe for next season and will return as the head coach.

"He's safe," Jones said. "Change isn't always the right answer. We're not big believers in it. Jason, a year ago, everyone thought he hung the moon. That's the terrible thing about this business: You take one year and change everything. This doesn't faze us, it won't faze us. We're totally in with Jason. We're totally in with our staff."

Bringing Garrett back is definitely the right call for the Cowboys. There was nothing he could have done this season with all the injuries that the Cowboys were forced to suffer through. Tony Romo missed almost all of the season with a pair of broken collarbone injuries, while Dez Bryant was never healthy after breaking his foot in Week 1.

Throughout the six seasons that Garrett has coached the Cowboys, he has compiled a 45-42 record. NFL.com analyst Gil Brandt took to his Twitter account to put Garrett's career with the Cowboys in perspective.

Dallas still has a lot of talent on their roster and looking to next season will have a chance to compete in the NFC East. It will only take a solid offseason move or two in order to get them back into contention. Jerry Jones is willing to spend to get them back on track and it'll be interesting to see what moves are made by the Cowboys.

One thing is for sure, and that is the fact that bringing Garrett back is the right call for the Cowboys.

There is no need to force change when just last season they were in the NFC divisonal round of the playoffs. Health was all that derailed them this season and there is no reason to panic just yet.
