The Dallas Cowboys finally moved on from head coach Jason Garrett on Sunday and waited little time to hire his replacement in former Packers coach Mike McCarthy. But don’t expect Dez Bryant to feel sorry for his now-unemployed former coach.
As the news of Garrett’s firing hit social media — which, of course, was during the Eagles’ playoff game with Seattle — Bryant took to Twitter to offer his reaction to Jerry Jones’ decision. Let’s just say that Bryant was happy to see it.
He tweeted that he didn’t have any sympathy for Garrett, adding that the Cowboys were finally real contenders.
I don’t have no sympathy for coach Garrett losing his job
The cowboys just became real contenders

The tweet was obviously posted before the McCarthy hire, so we’ll have to see if Bryant still feels that way. But Bryant has long been a critic of Garrett’s, especially after his release in April of 2018.
When Bryant got called out for kicking Garrett “when he’s down,” the former Cowboys receiver responded that he was being nice and could have added more.
😂 man it’s so much I can say… I’m being nice https://t.co/f3vuTFuNvU

Bryant last played in the NFL in 2017. He signed with the Saints in 2018 but tore his Achilles in practice, costing him both the 2018 and 2019 seasons.
