Jerry Jones Has Decisions to Make About His Coaching Staff - Sports Illustrated
Jan 17, 2022 1 min, 45 secs
After Sunday’s disappointing playoff loss to the 49ers, here’s an interesting question that Jerry Jones is likely asking himself internally and fielding from those in his inner circle: What are we going to do about the offensive and defensive coordinators who have interviews lined up with almost every team with a head coaching vacancy?

And what are we going to do about the current head coach, who, before the installation of said defensive coordinator and the drafting of a generational defensive prospect, was a bit of a disappointment?

Fearful of losing Garrett, Jones installed him as the interim head coach at the expense of Wade Phillips.

Now, Jones is looking at Kellen Moore, a 33-year-old coordinator who is the closest thing on the market to a coach whom owners might place into the Sean McVay category (while we’re not calling Moore Sean McVay, we are recognizing that owners typically slop coaches into groups, and Moore is a young, rising offensive coordinator).

One, or both, may not be there next year, unless Jones makes one of them the head coach now.

While the 49ers playoff game was not a beautiful performance by any coordinator, one game is not necessarily going to shape the perception of them in the eyes of a hiring manager?

But what about in the eyes of Jones, who has become so desperate—and so legitimately close from a personnel standpoint—for another Super Bowl championship in his lifetime that he’s taken to head hunting for anyone who has come within sniffing distance of a Lombardi trophy.

He exited the Tony Romo era, a stretch of football with a borderline Hall of Fame quarterback and arguably the best offensive line of the last decade, without a trip to the conference championship game.

After the game, Jones called the loss both “disappointing” and “surprising.” While it’s anyone’s guess what happens next, chances are he’s got a few meetings lined up for the week ahead. .
