Skipped down to this portion, a quote by his father...
"I think they have enough personnel to do it," said Garrett's father, Jim, who was a Browns' running backs coach for Sam Rutigliano and a longtime scout for the Cowboys.
"I think players can respond to anybody, but they respond to genuine personality," he said. "He'll do a great job."
Jim Garrett, whose family lived on Berkshire Road in Cleveland Heights in the late 1970s through the early '80s, said by phone late Monday afternoon that he had not spoken with his son yet. He learned of the hiring on television.
Asked whether he thought the promotion was a good career move for Jason, given that mid-season changes often are temporary, Jim Garrett referred to his son's character.
"Well, I would say this, that he is such a loyal team guy that the boss said, 'This is what I want to do,' so he did it," he said.
"I think everything in the world is interim, don't you?" he said, reflecting on head coaching offers his son bypassed to stay with the Cowboys two years ago. "He could have had the Atlanta job. He could have had the Baltimore job. He wanted to be in Dallas. He has a real home there."
