Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett is the NFC East coach of the year, as voted on by the four reporters covering the division for ESPN.com.
Todd Archer, Dallas Cowboys reporter: Even though Dallas has the conference’s best record, there could be some debate between Garrett and Giants coach Ben McAdoo. But Garrett was able to get the Cowboys out of their 4-12 abyss from 2015 and lead them to a 13-3 record. There is a lot the head coach of the Cowboys has to deal with, considering owner/GM Jerry Jones’ approach, but Garrett dealt with the loss of QB Tony Romo and several other starters -- such as offensive tackle Tyron Smith, cornerback Orlando Scandrick and receiver Dez Bryant -- and did not flinch.
