Once archaeologists put tweezers to the ruins of Jerry Jones' empire, they'll no doubt be astonished to learn that over the first three decades of his tumultuous reign, he only once fired a head coach mid-season. And only then because he already had a pre-ordained successor on the premises.
What this means is that, for better or worse, Jason Garrett isn't going anywhere.
Not just yet, anyway. Sorry for ruining your day.
Take all the encouragement you want from Jerry's comments after Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Texans, when he said the Cowboys were being outplayed and the head coach needed to take a risk instead of punting in overtime.
