# 31. Dallas Cowboys
Head coach: Jason Garrett
Offensive coordinator: Scott Linehan
Defensive coordinator: Rod Marinelli
Special teams coordinator: Rich Bisaccia
How many years does a team have to go 8-8 before the head coach gets fired?
That's the situation Jason Garrett finds himself in with the Dallas Cowboys, who have been the epitome of mediocrity since he took over in 2010. His first three full seasons as head coach in Dallas have ended in perfect mediocrity, as his teams have gone 8-8 in each year since 20011.
Scott Linehan has been a fine offensive coordinator throughout his career, but his propensity to pass may get Tony Romo killed.
Rod Marinelli is taking over the defense for the aging Monte Kiffin. He had some success in that position with the Chicago Bears after serving as the head coach during the Detroit Lions' abysmal 0-16 campaign in 2008. His defense shouldn't look too different than Kiffin's, either—though whether that's a good thing or not is another story.
It all comes back to Garrett, who appears to be made out of teflon.
