Shortly after being fired by the New York Giants, Jason Garrett drew interest from Duke University. However, he was ultimately passed over for their head coaching job and failed to land back in the NFL.
So, what will Garrett be doing in 2022? Serving as an analyst for the USFL.

Garrett was fired by the Giants after just a season and a half. He never appeared like a fit in East Rutherford and his offense couldn’t even manage to leave the starting gate.
“Today is certainly disappointing, but I want to say how truly grateful I am to the Mara and the Tisch families for giving me the opportunity to coach for their New York Giants,” Garrett said at the time of his firing. “They represent all that is good about the NFL,” Garrett said in a statement. “I also want to thank the Giants’ coaches and staff for their hard work and their unwavering kindness to my wife Brill and me. This building is filled with great people who made our time here special. Most of all, I want to express my gratitude to the players that I’ve had the privilege to coach here. While the bottom-line results weren’t what we wanted, I’ll be forever inspired by their approach, their professionalism and the fight they demonstrated regardless of the circumstance.
“One of the things that motivated me to accept this position was the opportunity to help rebuild the Giants into a contending team. We knew there would be many challenges. My expectations for our offense were much greater than what our results have been, and I accept full responsibility for that.
“Know that I wish everyone with the Giants nothing but the best going forward.”
As an analyst for the USFL, Garrett will team with New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan and former Seattle Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson for NBC. They will handle the pregame, halftime and postgame coverage for the league, while FOX will produce the game coverage.
The USFL will open their season on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. ET with a game between the New Jersey Generals at Birmingham Stallions.
