The Dallas Cowboys will keep Jason Garrett for the 2014 season.

Garrett has a 24-24 record over the past three seasons.

"I think what's important here is that I haven't given it any consideration," Jones said. "I like what he's doing as coach, so I haven't given it any consideration."

Lovie Smith is considered the favorite to become the next head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Smith was out of coaching this past season after being let go after the 2012 season by the Chicago Bears.

The Buccaneers fired Greg Schiano on Monday.

The Cleveland Browns have asked for permission to interview Dan Quinn for their head coaching vacancy.

Quinn is defensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks.

The Detroit Lions have fired Jim Schwartz as head coach.

Schwartz had a 29-51 record over five seasons with the Lions.

The Lions reached the playoffs in 2011 with a 10-6 record.

Detroit finished the 2013 season with a 6-3 record, but went 1-6 over the final seven games of the season.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have fired Greg Schiano and Mark Dominik.

Schiano lasted just two seasons as head coach of the Buccaneers.

Dominik had been general manager of the Buccaneers since 2009.

"The results over the past two years have not lived up to our standards and we believe the time has come to find a new direction," wrote Bryan Glazer in a statement. "Mark has been a valued member of our organization for two decades and we respect the passion he showed for the Buccaneers during his time here. We thank Greg for his hard work and effort the past two seasons, but we feel these moves are necessary in order to achieve our goals."

The Minnesota Vikings have fired Leslie Frazier as head coach after a 5-10-1 season.

Frazier led the Vikings to a 10-6 record and a surprising berth in the playoffs in 2012.

The Vikings struggled this season with a poor defense and poor play at quarterback.

"We have tremendous respect and appreciation for Leslie and what he has done for the Minnesota Vikings," owner Zygi Wilf said in a statement distributed by the team. "He stepped in and established a strong positive culture here, and he has been the consummate professional as our head coach and in this community. Making this change is difficult but what we determined is best for the organization."

Jack Del Rio and Adam Gase, coordinators for the Denver Broncos, are on the Vikings' wish list.

The Washington Redskins have fired Mike Shanahan after posting a 24-40 record over four seasons.

"Redskins fans deserve a better result," owner Dan Snyder said in a statement released by the team. "We thank Mike for his efforts on behalf of the Redskins. We will focus on what it takes to build a winning team, and my pledge to this organization and to this community is to continue to commit the resources and talent necessary to put this team back in the playoffs."

"When we first came here, we knew we were in some tough situations relative to the salary cap," Shanahan said. "When we first came in as a staff, we knew we had to make tough decisions."

Rex Ryan will return as head coach of the New York Jets after having a better than expected season.

Ryan has one season remaining on his contract worth about $3 million annually.

"I love being the head coach of the New York Jets, plain and simple," Ryan said. "I never wanted to go out this way, another losing season or something like that."

The Jets finished 8-8 despite having a roster devoid of Pro Bowl players.

Joe Thomas was strongly opposed to the Cleveland Browns firing Rob Chudzinski.

Thomas was named to his seventh Pro Bowl this season.

“You look at the great franchises. They don’t fire your coach after the first season. You can’t do it,” Thomas said.

The Browns went 4-12 this season.

“It sets everything back,” Thomas said. “You just hit the reset button. Anytime you hit the reset button, it severely damages the organization, and it lengthens the amount of time that it takes to get back to the playoffs and turn the team into a consistent winner. … I think that this organization needs continuity and that’s the only chance that we’re going to have to turn this team into a consistent winner.”

The Cleveland Browns have fired Rob Chudzinski.

Chudzinski was hired on Jan. 11 of last year, but became convinced that he wasn't their answer moving forward.

The Browns finished 4-12 on the season.
