Jerry Jones needs the Cowboys to win now. These two candidates to replace Jason Garrett could be worth the cost.

Now that Jason Garrett has finally been told he’s absolutely, positively not coming back, the first question for Jerry Jones is, what took you so long?

And the second is, did you catch Sunday’s game at the Superdome?

Because I did, and it occurred to me that the wild card game between the Vikings and Saints could have been called the Jerry Bowl instead. Jerry’s top two candidates to coach the Cowboys, both in the same place.

And if you think that’s a stretch, check what he said about one of them just this season.

Before going there, though, let’s set up the scenario: On Minnesota’s sideline at the Superdome, you had Mike Zimmer, who worked under four of Jerry’s head coaches.
