Irvin and Jones joke about next Cowboys coach
IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Owner Jerry Jones and wide receiver Michael
Irvin took time Wednesday from serious preparation for Sunday's
game against the Washington Redskins to joke about the Dallas
Cowboys coaching situation.
Jones was being interviewed in the locker room about rumors
concerning coach Barry Switzer's future when Irvin slipped in
front of the cameras and said: "I want you to introduce me
as the new head coach."
"Do you have any idea what a pay cut you're fixing to
take?" Jones asked.
"I think I'll stay a wide receiver," Irvin replied.
Both laughed.
Jones later put cold water on reports former San Francisco
coach George Seifert might replace Switzer after the season is
over.
"I haven't even talked to Seifert, and there's nothing
to it," Jones said.
