Jason Garrett’s job security seems as tenuous as ever after the Dallas Cowboys squandered a 3-0 start by losing three straight amid high expectations.

But it appears Garrett, who’s in the final year of his contract, may not have to worry about being fired during the season.

“We’re not into those,” Cowboys COO Stephen Jones told NFL Network of midseason coaching changes. “We’ve done one, but not a fan of them.”

The one midseason firing the Cowboys did make was the one which resulted in Garrett becoming interim head coach in 2010, when Wade Phillips was fired after a 1-7 start.

Jones tried to clarify that his comments weren’t specific to Garrett’s current situation.

“But that doesn’t even pertain to this,” Jones said. “We think Jason’s doing a great job with our team. We’ve hit a few bumps here, but we’re very confident Jason can do a great job with the team this year.”

Jones added regarding Garrett, “He’s our coach, no ifs, ands or buts, we’re all-in with Jason.”

Former Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens ripped Garrett on Twitter after the Cowboys’ last loss, and Urban Meyer stunningly said he’d consider coaching the Cowboys despite the job not being open.
