Jason Garrett was nearly fired after past disappointing seasons, but Jerry Jones kept him as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. 

Tony Romo sees Jones' decision to stick with Garrett as critical to their 2014 success.

"Jason is the best head coach in the league that no one talks about," Romo said Sunday, per the Dallas Morning News. "I mean, he's really gifted at his ability to communicate to his players. He's got a great mind for the game of football.

"One of the best things Jerry (Jones) has done was just stand by him and let his system, his mantra, his philosophy play itself out. I think that you're seeing the dividends. You're reaping the rewards of having him stay in place.

"Jason is going to figure it out. He's as good of a coach as I've ever been around. He's special.''
