For those who thought the Dallas Cowboys had no choice but to fire their coaching staff after giving up 23 straight points to the Chicago Bears and embarrassingly falling behind yet again, think again. Following the 31-24 loss, which couldn’t be a more misleading margin of defeat, Jerry Jones reaffirmed the same thing he’s been saying the last couple of weeks.
He just found a new way to say Jason Garrett is going to coach the rest of the season until the Cowboys are out of the playoff hunt, which they won’t be.
Jason Garrett Cowboys job still safe.

With Thursday’s loss, the Cowboys have lost 7 of their last 10 contests, a feat they haven’t done since the 2015 season when they played eight of 12 games without starting quarterback Tony Romo.
Fox analyst and Hall of Fame Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman echoed our sentiment from last week’s Twitter on tonight’s broadcast, there really isn’t anyone on the staff to turn to as an interim coach.
Troy: No one on Cowboys staff has earned right to interim. Don't know how you come back from this.
Irvin: Just a horrible performance
What say you, Emmitt?
