Jason Garrett gets USFL job, but not one you might think

Jason Garrett heads to the USFL brodcast booth, as an analyst for the upstart spring football league, following a disappointing two seasons as New York Giants offensive coordinator 

Jason Garrett is heading to the USFL, but you won’t see the embattled former New York Giants offensive coordinator on the sidelines when the season kicks off.

No, Garrett won’t be coaching in the upstart spring football league, rather he will be in the broadcast booth, the league and NBC announced this week.

According to Yahoo! Sports, Garrett will be one of the analysts on NBC’s crew announcing the upcoming USFL games.

Garrett suffered through a disappointing tenure with the Giants.

With Garrett calling plays on former head coach Joe Judge’s staff, the New York Giants finished ranked No. 24 and No. 26 in scoring offense, and No. 20 and No. 32, respectively, in total offense.

Garrett was fired by the New York Giants on Nov. 23, and ultimately replaced as the offensive play-caller by Freddie Kitchens for the remainder of last season.

The USFL’s return season kicks off on Saturday, April 16, and features a return to the team names, logos, and color schemes from the spring league that last played during the 1980s.
