If Bill Cowher is available, Jason Garrett's Cowboys resume loses luster

[madinmaryland]

IRVING – The Cowboys can win out, giving interim coach Jason Garrett a 7-1 record. They can stack good days, a favorite Garrett expression, as high as the eye can see.

None of that assures Garrett of having the "interim" removed from his title. This is not a one-man race.

The dynamics of the Cowboys' pending coaching-search game dramatically changed Thursday. Bill Cowher , a Super Bowl winner, told USA Today that "I'm open to listen to opportunities" and indicated he is willing to return to coaching after a four-year sabbatical.

That scurrying sound you hear is Cowboys owner-general manager Jerry Jones going through his files to make sure he has every bit of contact information on Cowher. All bets are off in this pageant.

Whom would you hire?

A coach who ranks among the top 20 in wins and winning percentage, with at least 100 games, in NFL history, or a coach with eight games of experience in the hot seat?

Hmmm.
