Jason Garrett is back on the NFL coaching carousel.
The Chargers, who fired coach Anthony Lynn on Monday, asked for an interview with the Giants offensive coordinator for their vacancy, according to the NFL Network.
Garrett, 54, spent ten seasons as head coach of the Cowboys before being brought back after last season. He won 85-67, but only made three playoffs before joining Joe Judge’s staff this season. Garrett does have experience mentoring young backs like Dak Prescott and Daniel Jones. The Chargers have one of the NFL’s best young signal callers in Justin Herbert.
Garrett leaving to take a head coach position could make one of the toughest decisions out of season for them. It is speculated that Garrett’s team may move on after leading an offense that finished last in the NFL in the overall standings and scored just ahead of the Jets. He also did not help Jones take a leap forward in his second season.
The Jets have asked to interview Giants defense coordinator Patrick Graham.
