Dallas, Texas-

After Sunday’s win against the Lions , Jerry Jones was upset with his team and Head Coach Jason Garrett. At the team’s facilities on Monday, players could hear Jones yelling at Jason Garrett. Jason Garrett has been on the hot seat for the last couple of years. Some people inside the Dallas front office say, “this could be the straw that pushes him over the edge.”

Sources says Jones was upset because the team won a playoff game. A close friend of the family says “since January 1996, Jerry has always gone on vacation. He has his own island in the South Pacific named ‘Keepin Up with the Jones‘ located about 1000 miles northeast of New Zealand. He has only missed his vacation one time before this season.”

When Jones bought the Cowboys in 1989, he built them into a perennial Super Bowl team in just a few years. After winning 3 Super Bowls in 4 years, he turned the franchise around again by implementing a strategy of mediocrity that had continued until 2009.

In 2009, the Cowboys won their first playoff game in 14 years. Jerry had to cancel his vacation. The head coach that won the playoff game, Wade Phillips, was fired mid-season the next year. It is clear Mr. Jones loves his vacation and his football team. After the firing of Wade Phillips in 2010, Mr. Jones said: “There is football season which ends in December, then there is vacation season which starts in January. They don’t go together! We have built a dynasty in Dallas. Before the season started, we were 146-142 since our last Super Bowl victory. That is our goal. We pride ourselves on being that average.”

Jerry Jones won’t fire Jason Garrett during the playoff stretch. He will wait until the end of the season or the middle of next season. Jason Garrett had done a great job in the past to strive for mediocracy. He might have just got himself canned with the performance of his team in 2014. Jason Garrett, declined an interview with FirstWordInSports. He did tell us, “I’ve already lost my job here in Dallas. I don’t know when, but I know it’s soon. I might as well shoot for a Super Bowl ring and championship for the fans, players and coaches.”
