Despite his reported interest in the Stanford vacancy, Jason Garrett appeared to squash any chance of a move back to the coaching ranks next season, instead making clear that he intends to continue in his media role for the time being.
“Thanks so much to AD Bernard Muir and everyone at Stanford! While I enjoyed exploring a great opportunity at such a special place, I’m so excited to continue my work at NBC on Football Night in America and with Notre Dame Football!” Garrett wrote on Twitter late Thursday night.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported earlier in the week that the former Cowboys head coach was a finalist for the Stanford job, along with Sacramento State coach Troy Taylor.
