Best of luck with the Giants. Sincerely, the Cowboys.

Despite an awkward ending to Jason Garrett’s 10-year tenure as Dallas’ head coach — following nearly four seasons as the Cowboys offensive coordinator and seven years as their backup quarterback (1993-99) — and an even more strange segue of Garrett then quickly accepting the job as offensive coordinator for the Giants, Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said he was pleased to see the union of his former coach and longtime rival.

“Jason is a football guy. He wants to go coach. He’s a great offensive mind. They got a good one in coach Garrett,” Jones said Tuesday, according to The Athletic. “He was nothing but a class act here. I know he’ll certainly help the Giants get on the road to where they want to go.”

Even if Jones is being sincere in his belief that Garrett will help the Giants, the former is far more optimistic that the Cowboys will have “real success in the playoffs” under new coach Mike McCarthy, who led the Packers to a Super Bowl title while reaching the playoffs nine times in a 10-year span. Garrett went 2-3 in the postseason as Dallas’ head coach.

“I think we have a good team that’s in its prime,” Jones said. “Part of the reason Jerry [Jones] and I were set on finding a coach with not only experience but a coach that had real success in the playoffs … because we do believe this team can certainly have that type of success.”
