Could you imagine this board if DSnyder made these comments:

“This is the one I’m comfortable with — the status we are in right now with our staff,” Jones said during a two-hour interview with the media aboard his blue-star emblazoned Cowboys bus outside Lucas Oil Stadium at the NFL Scouting Combine.

“I like our staff. Jason should know, and I know that he knows, that the plan here and has been for him to be long term, and long term certainly being beyond this year, the coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Jason has a high tolerance for ambiguity. He really does. That is very important in this situation.”

While Jones wants Garrett to continue to run his football team, he wants him to stay clear of the offense.

There was definite ambiguity in that last season, muddying the waters for offensive coordinator/play caller Bill Callahan, whose power was routinely usurped by the head coach.

“Jason was really your coordinator last year,” Jones said. “That’s a fact. That was one of the issues. It was unfair to Bill. All of it was manifested by the fact that it was very difficult for Jason to get out of that role. That’s why we had such a tough time articulating it early. That’s why we made some of the switches we made during the middle of the season.

“All of it was manifested by the fact that it was very difficult for Jason to get out of that role. We laugh, but there is a difference when you’re sitting in the room and as the coach and you say, ‘Hey, wait a minute, y’all put some salt and pepper in there’ than after it has already been cooked and you’re tasting it outside the room and it might need a little salt and pepper. It’s a big difference.”
