Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on Friday I tried to reverse the perception/reality that he is deliberately underspending on coaches. His explanation regarding the willingness to spend included an important admission.
“I tried to lure high-performing coaches away from the teams they were on,” Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.
Unless he is referring to college (or high school) coaches, this is a falsification. Period. End of debate.
This could be false – an effort to reinforce the idea that, yes, he is willing to spend. Yet efforts to put out the fire of frugality he ignited Tuesday by ridiculously asserting there is no correlation between coaching pay and winning included a nonchalant concession that he had attempted to alienate NFL coaches from their current teams, in blatant violation of the rules.
Will the NFL look into this issue? Probably not. Because surely the league office realizes, as do the rest of us, that Jerry was simply saying whatever he had to say to lessen the impact of the accidental truth he said Tuesday regarding a deliberate reluctance to do whatever he needed to do to make his team as good as it can be.
