Former Dallas Cowboys head coach and current NBC Sports analyst Jason Garrett is scheduled to interview Friday for the Tennessee Titans’ vacant head coaching position, according to multiple reports. Garrett joins a growing list of candidates in the search to replace Brian Callahan, who was dismissed midseason following a 1-5 start to the 2025 campaign.
Garrett, 59, last served on an NFL sideline in 2021 as the New York Giants’ offensive coordinator. His head coaching tenure with the Cowboys lasted eight seasons, from 2011 to 2019. He compiled an 85-67 record and won three NFC East titles. He earned NFL Coach of the Year honors in 2016.
Since leaving coaching, Garrett has maintained a prominent presence in football broadcasting. He joined NBC Sports in 2022 to provide analysis for both NFL and Notre Dame games. While his name has occasionally surfaced in college coaching circles, he has not returned to sideline leadership.
As the Cowboys’ head coach for nine seasons, Garrett won three division titles and was named Associated Press Coach of the Year in 2016. He compiled an 85-67 (.559) regular-season record. The second-most wins by a head coach in team history.
He began his coaching career as the Quarterbacks Coach for the Miami Dolphins under Nick Saban. He also served as the Offensive Coordinator for both the Cowboys and New York Giants.
Before becoming a coach, Garrett had a 14-year NFL playing career with the Cowboys, Giants, Buccaneers, Dolphins, and Saints, mostly as a backup quarterback. He was part of three Super Bowl-winning Cowboys teams in 1992, 1993, and 1995. He also was a member of the NFC Champion Giants in 2000.
Tennessee is casting a wide net. Other reported interviewees include former Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski and Kansas City Chiefs coordinators Matt Nagy and Steve Spagnuolo. Also included are Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, and former Atlanta Falcons coach Raheem Morris.
