Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was once again met with questions about potentially moving on from head coach Jason Garrett this season following the Cowboys’ disappointing 28-14 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Monday night.
Per Todd Archer of ESPN, Jones responded to whether there was any scenario that would lead him to making a coaching change in-season with a resounding “no.”
“I think we realize we have eight games to go, we've got a long way to go in this season,” Jones said. “We want to play better than we played tonight, so I certainly think each individual and coach and front-office person is going to have to do better, including me.”
The loss to the Titans dropped the Cowboys to 3-5 at the midway point of the season and are two games behind the NFC East-leading Washington Redskins. The Cowboys play the 4-4 Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
If the Cowboys once again miss out on the postseason, it would be the sixth time in eight full seasons under Garrett.
The Cowboys opted to change their offensive line coach from Paul Alexander to Marc Colombo during their bye. But when asked if there could be a change with offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, Jones said, “I'm not anticipating any more coaching changes.”
The Cowboys also made a huge splash by trading a first-round pick for wide receiver Amari Cooper. But despite Cooper scoring a touchdown in his debut, the Cowboys offense once again struggled against the Titans.
If the Cowboys offense continues to sputter like it has even with Cooper in the lineup, then maybe there's a chance Jones finally loses patience with Garrett and decides to move on from the head coach despite his recent claims.
