The Jerry Jones/Jason Garrett seemingly unbreakable duo has finally been split. On a separate note, pigs are flying and Hell just froze over.
After the many pleas for Garrett to be fired were finally answered, we’ve been treated to all sorts of bonus content detailing the long, drawn out firing process.
Now we have the most awkward story yet – apparently Jones and Garrett discussed Jones going to talk with Garrett’s subsequent replacement before Garrett had even been fired. While the conversation seems to have been civil, we can only imagine how awkward it was.
In an presser to officially introduce McCarthy, Jones explained the situation (via Yahoo):
“One of the biggest things that impressed me was I told Jason Garrett I was going to be visiting Mike, before I had the visit,” Jones said at McCarthy’s introductory news conference. “He said, ‘You’re not going to meet anybody any more special than Mike. I love his story, I love him, he’s great.’ Give you an idea of a class act, that’s it right there, in both cases.”
Ever heard of the term “clean break”? Yeah, this doesn’t seem like it was that.
