Jones appeared on Intentional Grounding on Wednesday night on 1310 The Ticket, and told the shows host, David Moore, that the Cowboys head coaching job will remain Garrett's regardless of how the rest of the team's season plays out.
“I just think he’s done an outstanding job with this team. here has been adversity in this season. He’s handled it well. He’s never complained, never blinked. I know our guys play hard for him. I don’t believe anybody has refuted that. No one wants to win more games than Jason. I know he’s disappointed that we haven’t won more games, but at the same time, we do have a winning record right now. We’re in the hunt.”
The Cowboys (7-6) are in the hunt, but barely, as they currently sit in the No. 8 spot in the NFC playoff picture. They trail the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks by one game, and sit behind the Washington Redskins (7-6) because of a head-to-head tiebreaker. Dallas will close the season out with three tough matchups with the Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints and the Washington Redskins.
