Cowboys head coach choice: Experience versus giving it the old college try

Our long national nightmare is over. Okay, it wasn’t that long, it wasn’t exactly national, and nightmare might be too strong of a word. But, the Cowboys finally did the deed and officially cut the cord with Jason Garrett. That means they are on the hunt for a new head coach.
