Dak Prescott on Coach Jason Garrett to Stanford: 'Big Endorser,' Says Cowboys QB

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott reacts to the news of Jason Garrett being in consideration for the coaching vacancy at Stanford.

Dallas Cowboys fans could see a familiar face back on the sidelines ... Just not on Sundays.

Ex-Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is a top candidate for the head coaching job vacancy at Stanford - and Dak Prescott is a "big endorser'' of his former coach.

"Big endorser of that." Prescott said Thursday about Garrett being considered for the job. "I hope he gets it."

Added the QB: "I'm willing to talk to whoever I can to endorse him and talk about how great of a coach he is. I just think he'd be huge for a program like that's so prestigious."

Garrett, the Princeton graduate, who spent two stints in Dallas, once as a player, and as a coach, is currently serving as an analyst for NBC Sports.

It shouldn't be a surprise that Prescott is willing to put a word in for his former head coach. After all, Garrett put a tremendous amount of confidence in Prescott years ago starting in the QB's rookie season. 

Prescott, a fourth-round pick, assumed the Cowboys' starting quarterback role due to an injury to Tony Romo in 2017. A job that was supposed to be temporary turned full-time as Garrett and company decided to stick with their young signal-caller even after Romo returned to full health.

Garrett was relieved of his Cowboys job three years ago. But the connections obviously still linger.
