‘We’re not going…’ – Cowboys owner Jerry Jones answers if Brian Schottenheimer will be fired

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed that head coach Brian Schottenheimer will not be fired mid-season following a 33-30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Despite blowing a 14-0 lead to fall to 3-5 on the season, Jones stated that a coaching change is not in his thinking and called the performance an indictment of the entire team.

Jones cited his 2010 mid-season firing of Wade Phillips as the only such move of his ownership, noting he does not see the current situation similarly. In the defeat, Cardinals backup Gardner Minshew led four straight touchdown drives, while Arizona outgained Dallas 467-261 before Chad Ryland secured the victory with an overtime field goal.
