Jerry Jones: Firing Garrett not in Cowboys' best interest
Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones isn't overreacting to his team's elimination from playoff contention after Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Despite the team's fall from an NFC East title and a 13-3 record last season to an 8-7 mark through 15 weeks this year, Jones says head coach Jason Garrett's job is safe.
"I certainly know a lot about Jason Garrett. Because of that, I can quickly and candidly say his job is not an issue here, at all. ... It’s not in the best interest of the Cowboys to be considering a coaching change," Jones told Roy White III of 105.3 The Fan.
However, Jones hasn't ruled out other changes to the coaching staff, according to Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News.
Garrett has served as Cowboys head coach since taking over on an initial interim basis in 2010, boasting a regular-season record of 66-53. He previously worked as the club's offensive coordinator and assistant head coach.
