Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones said coach Jason Garrett is not coaching for his job in 2013 despite coming off consecutive 8-8 seasons.

"Well, no, no he's not ... to the last question: Is Jason coaching for his job? No," Jones told the NFL Network in an interview from the NFL's spring meetings in Boston that aired Wednesday.

"What we're doing is taking the assets that we have, and Jason being right at the top and certainly our premier asset, and we're using them to the best of our ability," he said.

Garrett is entering the third year of a four-year deal with the Cowboys.
