Jerry Jones’ frustration with Jason Garrett hasn’t simmered down in the two days following the Cowboys’ 13-9 loss to the Patriots.
Responding to a question Tuesday about the criticism he delivered after the game, Jones said on 105.3 “The Fan” that he feels “the same way that I felt then,” according to Pro Football Talk.
A displeased Jones said Sunday he “shouldn’t be this frustrated” given the makeup of the team, adding, “I don’t think there’s a game where a coaching staff couldn’t do better.”
Garrett’s fate is seemingly up in the air — amid recent speculation of coaching musical chairs in the NFC East — and Jones made it clear he has the final say as both owner and Cowboys GM.
“When you’re general manager, which I am, those coaches are out there at my ultimate decision,” Jones explained. “It’s very much within my realm of purview, if you will, to not only be standing there as an owner but be standing there as the general manager who put the staff there to begin with.”
With Garrett readying the Cowboys for Thursday’s Thanksgiving showdown against the 8-3 Bills, the coach said Monday there is always room for improvement.
“We’ve just got to focus on coaching as well as we can and playing as well as we can,” Garrett explained. “There certainly were some things in the game we have to get better at and we’re going to work on that as a staff and as a football team. But again, our eyes are forward on Buffalo.”
As for Jones, the sour taste of defeat remains.
“Disappointed is not the word,” Jones said. “There’s no question that we were given an opportunity, there were things we could have taken advantage of.”
The Cowboys enter Thursday at 6-5 and are the current leaders of the mediocre NFC East.
