Jason Garrett claps back! Reaction to former Dallas Cowboys coach joining NBC’s NFL show
The clap is back.
Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett will join NBC’s Football Night in America pregame show as an analyst, the network officially announced Tuesday.
The reaction to the news from some disgruntled Cowboys fans and anti-Cowboys fans was less than kind on social media, with many expressing criticism of the move.
If they weren’t voicing overt criticism, they were at least making cracks at Garrett’s propensity for clapping on the sideline, which turned into popular online memes during his 10 seasons as the Cowboys head coach.
“Thrilled to step into the studio this fall and get you ready for the best game of the week @SNFonNBC!” Garrett posted on Twitter after the announcement.
Garrett is replacing Drew Brees in the NBC studio.
Garrett was fired as the New York Giants offensive coordinator in November after less than two seasons.
Garrett provided color analysis on USFL games this spring. He was decent in the role, especially considering it was his first time in the booth. It was apparently enough to convince NBC.
