Eight and Eight Forever: How Jason Garrett Wasted a Decade (2011–2019)

from Good Friends, Better Rivals

8-8. 8-8. 8-8. If you're a Cowboys fan, those numbers should haunt your dreams.Part 3 of our series on why Dallas hasn't won a Super Bowl in 30 years covers what might be the most maddening stretch of football in franchise history. Jason Garrett — the man, the myth, the clap — somehow kept his job for nearly a decade while delivering the most perfectly mediocre football imaginable.Fares and Caleb break down how a team with Dez Bryant, Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, and a historically dominant offensive line somehow never made it out of January. The 2014 season. The DeSean Jackson non-call. The endless "this is our year" energy followed by the same result.Garrett didn't lose the Cowboys the Super Bowl. He just made sure they'd never get close enough to have a chance.
