Former Cowboys coach Jason Garrett fired by New York Giants after less than 2 seasons
The New York Giants have fired offensive coordinator Jason Garrett after less than two seasons.
The team made it a official with a social media post Tuesday afternoon after multiple outlets reported the news.
Garrett joined the Giants after 10 seasons as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. He was fired after the 2019 season and was hired by Giants’ head coach Joe Judge. Judge signaled the move with his post-game comments after Monday’s 30-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Freddie Kitchens will call the plays for the Giants, according to the New York Daily News.
The Giants offense ranks 26th in scoring and 25th in total yards.
Garrett was 85-67 over 10 seasons with the Cowboys. He joined Dallas as offensive coordinator in 2007 and took over head coaching duties in the middle of the 2010 season for the fired Wade Phillips.
“I have a lot of respect for Jason as a person and as a coach,” Judge said. “He’s been a tremendous asset to me as a young head coach. He’s helped our development here. He’s built very strong relationships in the building with the players, along with other support staff members. He’s done a good job putting the team first. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for everything he’s done for us. With that being said, ultimately, I’ll make every decision based on what’s best for the team long-term. I feel we have to be more productive as an offense. Generally speaking, the offense’s job is to score points. I don’t believe we’re scoring enough points.”
