The Story in 60 Seconds

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has confirmed his stance against paying high salaries for NFL head coaches, declaring on 105.3 The Fan that there is zero correlation between coach pay and winning. Following a collapse against the Arizona Cardinals that dropped the team to 3-5, Jones affirmed he is backing head coach Brian Schottenheimer despite external criticism over the coach's $4.5 million annual salary.

NFL insider Jane Slater expressed surprise that Jones publicly acknowledged his reluctance to pay premium coaching wages on record.
