New on Sports Illustrated: NFL Coaching Rumors: Jason Garrett, Cowboys to Meet Again on Thursday

Jason Garrett and the Cowboys front office including Jerry Jones will meet for a third time to discuss his future

Jason Garrett and the Dallas Cowboys ownership will meet on Thursday to discuss his future with the team, according to ESPN and the Dallas Morning News. Garrett's contract is set to expire on Jan. 14.

This will mark the third meeting between Garrett and the Cowboys' top brass, which includes owner and general manager Jerry Jones and executive vice president Stephen Jones. The two sides last met on Tuesday with no resolution regarding Garrett's future. No timetable for a decision has been set by Jerry Jones.

The Cowboys finished the season 8–8. Garrett is 85–67 in his nearly 10 years as the Cowboys' head coach.

Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio

speculated what if the Cowboys could be trying to find a way to keep Garrett around the team but not in the head coaching capacity.

If Garrett is fired, this will mark the team's first coaching search since Bill Parcells retired in 2007 and the team ended up hiring Wade Phillips.
