Giants Name Jason Garrett Offensive Coordinator

Giants vs. Cowboys is about to get a whole lot more interesting next fall.

Big Blue has finalized a deal with former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett to become the club's offensive coordinator.

Garrett is no stranger to the Giants; he was a back-up quarterback for New York from 2000 to 2003, and is well regarded within the organization.

Garrett, of course was fired just two weeks ago by the Cowboys after a lengthy, and at times, bizarre 10-year stay as Cowboys head coach. Bringing Garrett into New York could be a huge boon for new Giants head coach Joe Judge.

Judge has never been a head coach at any level and will definitely pick the brain of Garrett who is very familiar with the personnel in the entire division, including Dallas. 

Garrett's primary job will be to tutor quarterback Daniel Jones and get this Giants offense humming on a more consistent basis. While Jones showed flashes last season, he was troubled by turnovers, specifically fumbles. Garrett's experience as both a quarterback and quarterbacks coach could be extremely helpful to the Giants.

When will Garrett get a chance to avenge his old team? We'll have to wait until mid-April when the 2020 schedule is released, but rest assured the match-up will garner plenty of attention as one would expect. Heck, the Giants have opened up the schedule with the Cowboys in five of the last six seasons.
