Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones and Executive Vice President Stephen Jones will allow Jason Garrett to finish the season as the team's head coach -- no matter what, a high-ranking source familiar with their thinking told ESPN on Thursday.
That is the plan even though Jones has been publicly critical of Garrett and the coaching staff since the team's 13-9 loss to the New England Patriots in Foxboro on Sunday. That is unusual for Jones, who has been Garrett's most ardent supporter throughout his career.
The Cowboys failed to score a touchdown on offense, created no turnovers on defense and allowed a blocked punt that set up the game's only touchdown.
