Jason Garrett’s message to Cowboys: Create a new story

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett [SIZE=+0]earned the right to retain that title[/SIZE] by breaking out of the team’s perpetual 8-8 slump with a division title.
But the words he gave his team after their season ended might show best why he’s the best man for the job.
With the Cowboys stinging from their season-ending [SIZE=+0]Dez Bryant[/SIZE] catch/not catch, Garrett sent his team into the offseason with a poignant message.
“[SIZE=+0]I thought our coach’s comments to the team were salient and telling[/SIZE],” owner Jerry Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News. “He told the story of a man 65 that hurt his leg when he was 22 and had to quit. But for 40 years he would tell the story of how he hurt his leg when he was 22. He told the story of a baseball player that thought he was going to be the next Sandy Koufax, but he hurt his arm and for 50 years told that story. He said, ‘I don’t want anybody in this room to spend the rest of their lives talking about, ‘But, if this … ’ Jason said, ‘Let’s get out here and do what we need to do, so we got something good to talk about 50 years from now.’”
Garrett echoed that message later, saying he didn’t want his team wallowing in self-pity.
“There are a lot of people that we all run across,” Garrett said, “who talk about something that happened earlier in their lives — they got hurt, and a lot of their dreams and aspirations went unfulfilled. And they take those with them for the rest of their lives and refer back to that — and it’s an excuse, for not achieving what they wanted to achieve.
“And so, [Sunday’s] game was an opportunity for us to respond the right way to the challenges ahead and not look back and be the team that says, ‘We went up to Lambeau Field and this happened and that happened,’ and we tell that story for 40 years. We have an opportunity in front of us to learn from that experience to achieve the goals we want to achieve.”
The Cowboys have some work to do if they want to retain their NFC East crown, but the fact they’re hanging onto Garrett might be the best sign, for a franchise that has lacked in stability since Jones took over
