Garrett led the Cowboys to an 8-8 record this season. Dallas lost a key week 16 game to the Philadelphia Eagles, in which a win would have clinched the NFC East for Dallas.

Under Garrett, the Cowboys went 85-67 but made the playoffs just three times in his nine seasons. In those three trips. the Cowboys won two total playoff games. Garrett went 8-8 four times.
