The last time Terrell Owens was on a football field he was playing flag football in San Jose, but he still has plenty to say about his former NFL teams.
The best Hall of Fame-eligible wideout to not actually be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame went off on Friday, tweeting about everything from Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett to the best coach he’s ever played for, who is not Jason Garrett.
Owens was talking with more human Twitter users when the topic of the Cowboys came up, which gave him the opportunity to vent about his exit from the Cowboys. Owens said Garrett was instrumental in not only getting Owens out of Dallas, but also Wade Phillips, who was the coach of the Cowboys before Garrett rose from offensive coordinator to head coach.
Who??! Jason Garrett!! 😂😂😂 U gotta be kidding me. 😂🤣 He was part of getting rid of me & Wade Phillips to get the head coaching job thinking that was the answer. And here we r 8 years later…🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ https://t.co/xtDcTkU0Qr

According to For the Win, Owens said Garrett “doesn’t know how to make adjustments” in some now-deleted tweets.
Owens also talked about his exit from Philadelphia, saying the quarterback there, Donovan McNabb, didn’t want him there anymore.
I only left because the QB didn’t want me there because the QB felt he could win without me. So I had to move on. Trust me, I loved what I was doing in Philly with that team but I can’t make the QB like me. 🤷🏾♂️ https://t.co/m2Dm9n2PF8

If there is one thing you can say about Owens at this point, it’s that he’s still willing to speak his mind. Even if it could hurt his perception among Hall of Fame voters.
