Dallas Cowboys proprietor Jerry Jones mentioned followers’ frustrations with the staff’s 1-2 begin is “particularly reasonable” after an area Dallas information station carried out a current ballot the place 78 % of voters mentioned the blame falls on Jones.
“It’s well-known that the majority selections (are) in the end made there, I both should acquiesce or approve it,” Jones advised 105.3 “The Fan” on Tuesday about WFAA’s ballot. “That’s particularly reasonable. How might you suppose in any other case?
“Whether or not or not it’s who’s on the market teaching, whether or not or not it’s who’s on the market enjoying, whether or not or not it’s the stadium you’re strolling into, no matter it’s right here, that’s the way in which it’s.”

GO DEEPER
Cowboys’ early season woes are predictable. Jerry Jones’ passive offseason is accountable.
Jones mentioned he “utterly” accepts the criticism however pointed to the common season success the Cowboys have had over the previous few seasons as trigger for optimism.
“If you happen to have a look at who has received the video games during the last 4 or 5 years, Kansas Metropolis has, in fact, however we’re proper in that pack (within the common season),” he mentioned. “Now, we’re in a mushy spot. We received to get out of it.”
What to make of Jones’ feedback?
It doesn’t shock me that Jones would agree with the followers. He understands that if he needs to be the proprietor and basic supervisor, the vast majority of blame goes to fall on him when issues are going poorly. Nonetheless, he has additionally mentioned a number of instances since Sunday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens that he likes the staff’s personnel. His remark places the blame on the teaching employees as a result of Jones is saying that they’ve been given the right components to make the dinner.
In fact, the proprietor and GM are chargeable for hiring that teaching employees. And it’s additionally simpler to take the blame when you already know the implications aren’t all that unhealthy. It’s not like Jones goes to get fired. He’s not going to rent a GM and he’s not going to promote the staff. — Jon Machota, Cowboys beat author
