The Dallas Cowboys have received several beatdowns at home this season, but the latest one, a 47-9 rout by the Detroit Lions had a different feel to it. That was reflected on Tuesday morning when Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had his weekly interview on 105.3 The Fan , in which he was much more defensive than usual and even seemed to threaten the radio hosts.
The loss against the New Orleans Saints was a shocker, and a sign that the Cowboys’ run defense woes were a problem. Versus the Baltimore Ravens, it was further proof that the Cowboys weren’t ready to beat top contenders in the league. But Sunday’s? It was rock bottom.
The Cowboys couldn’t score a single touchdown and failed to hold a Lions’ possession to no points until there were a little over four minutes left to go in the fourth quarter.
“I won’t be making any other (in-season coaching changes),” Jones told 105.3 The Fan , interrupting a question asking about making a change in 2010 when Jason Garrett was promoted to head coach.
Jones argued things were different this year, noting the Cowboys’ 3-3 record compared to 2010’s 1-7, claiming “little bit of difference there, man.” Jones also said they weren’t making changes right after the game on Sunday.
“(In-season coaching changes) aren’t good and they’re usually ineffective,” Jones added on Tuesday. “They just aren’t good.”
