Jason Garrett was a well-known name in the world of football coaching. Prior to commencing his coaching career, he was a quarterback in the NFL, most notably with the Dallas Cowboys. He went on to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Jets, and Miami Dolphins after winning three Super Bowls as a backup to Cowboys star Troy Aikman.
Following his retirement from professional football, Jason Garrett took on the role of quarterbacks coach for the Dolphins during Nick Saban's tenure as HC in 2005. He later joined the Dallas Cowboys as their OC before eventually becoming the head coach from 2010 until 2019.
Jason Garrett left coaching to become a color analyst for NBC Sports for the debut season of the United States Football League (USFL) in 2022. Garrett will join Paul Burmeister, Jac Collinsworth, Cam Joran, Michael Robinson, Corey Robinson, Sara Perlman, and Zora Stephenson on the NBC Broadcast crew for USFL, according to the official announcement.
