Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is leaving the door wide, wide open for a new head coach in 2020.
In an interview on Tuesday with 105.3 The Fan, a radio station in Dallas, Jones denied recent reports that his son, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones, has met with former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer as the front office weighs replacements for Jason Garrett.
“I can confirm that it is absolutely not correct,” Jones said. “We have not met with any coach.”
But just because he hasn’t… doesn’t mean he won’t. Jones was given the opportunity to shut down interest in Meyer, but instead said:
“Normally when someone says ‘Have you met with such and such?’ ‘Are you interested in such and such?’ the implication is you’re not interested,” Jones said. “That shouldn’t be brought forward either.
“The facts are we just have not talked to any coach—potential coach in the NFL.”
