Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones called Sunday’ 47-9 loss to the Detroit Lions “very concerning.” That doesn’t mean he’s ready to discuss major changes, though.
Jones was asked in a postgame news conference specifically if coaching or personnel changes were something he’s considering. He responded, “I’m not considering that.” When asked earlier about personnel and coaching changes, Jones said, “I’m not ready to talk about changes right now.”
Jones has traditionally not fired coaches during the season with the only instance being Wade Phillips’ dismissal in 2010. That came after a 1-7 start and a 45-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
