The Dallas Cowboys took what felt like months to finally fire head coach Jason Garrett.
It took hours after it was official for reports to drop that Mike McCarthy — who won a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers but who became more known for his struggles with in-game management — was the new man at the helm of the team that disappointingly missed the postseason this year.
Of course, that led NFL fans to make so many jokes about the Cowboys hiring him, along with the fact that we learned from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, that McCarthy stayed at Jerry Jones’ house on Saturday.
Here’s a collection of some of the tweets we saw after the news broke on Monday morning:
