The Dallas Cowboys’ camp is boiling over with tension. Owner Jerry Jones is at his breaking point after the team’s 3-3 record, three home losses, and humiliating 47-9 loss to the Detroit Lions. Jones attacked two radio hosts during a heated discussion, leading followers to wonder whether more significant changes are imminent.
Critics have started drawing comparisons between the current state of affairs and the 2010 season, when Jones fired head coach Wade Phillips after the club faltered to a 1-7 start, even though the Cowboys are still in the running for the playoffs.
Jones said that head coach Mike McCarthy’s position is not in immediate danger despite growing criticism from supporters and commentators. Jones made the clear statement, “I haven’t considered that, and I’m not considering that hypothetical,””Just so we’re clear, I’m not considering it.” Jones snapped when pushed further.
“Do you believe I’m a fool? Alright, I won’t speculate with you regarding a coaching change or timing. No, I’m not.
During Jones’ weekly visit on 105.3 The Fan, his annoyance reached a boiling point. Jones got into a furious argument with hosts Shan Shariff and RJ Choppy after being irritated by inquiries on the Cowboys’ free-agency mistakes, in which they lost important players without bringing in replacements.
“Your responsibility isn’t to listen to me explain why I did something and apologize for it. “You don’t have that job,” Jones retorted to Shariff. The Cowboys owner then said, “I’ll get somebody else to ask these questions,” in a startling outburst. I’m serious.”
“You really think you’re going to sit here with a microphone and list everything I did wrong without mentioning the rights?” Jones shot back when the presenters persisted with their questioning about the team’s problems. You must have been smoking something this morning. He expressed shock at the offense’s lackluster performance and acknowledged that the team had been physically outplayed.
“I never imagined that we couldn’t get the ball to those players. However, we were pushed aside. It was annoying that they enjoyed themselves so much at our expense.
Jones denied making any significant changes during the team’s bye week, despite the chaos. When the Cowboys play the San Francisco 49ers, the reigning NFC champs, in Week 8, he said he is confident they will recover.
