Jerry Jones Downplays Mike Holmgren Rumors, Says Jason Garrett Is 'Our Guy'

If Jerry Jones wanted to fire Cowboys coach Jason Garrett, former Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren would have “serious interest” in taking over that role. That news was reported Sunday by CBSSports.com’s Jason La Canfora. What does the Cowboys owner and general manager think of the idea? Here is the response he gave on the team’s flagship radio station, 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM], before the start of Sunday’s game in Philadelphia. “Of course, Mike Holmgren is a heck of a coach,” Jones said. “But the facts are that Jason Garrett gives us an outstanding chance to be what we want to be. So, there you have it. I wouldn’t comment one way or the other there with Mike.” Jones went on to say that he talked earlier in the day to Cowboys radio voice Brad Sham about the Holmgren report. “I was interested in why he said he would like to be the coach,” Jones said. “And that was good. We are good friends, have a lot of respect for each other, served on the competition committee together for eight years. He’s very familiar with how we operate the Cowboys, and does have a high appreciation for our talent that we have on the team right now. All of that is a compliment. Thank you, Mike.” Source: Dallas Morning News Attached Thumbnails
