It may be February before Switzer knows his
fate
IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones keeps
talking around the future status of coach Barry Switzer, but he
has dropped hints that a decision is at least six weeks away,
and maybe longer.
"We may go to the end of February before anything is decided
on our staff," Jones said Wednesday. "We may not even
make a statement. It just may become evident on what we plan to
do as we look at free agency, attend combines, and prepare for
the draft."
Switzer said Tuesday he has done a better job of coaching this
year than he did when the Cowboys won the Super Bowl two years
ago.
But, Jones has steadfastly refused to say whether the former
Oklahoma coach or his staff will be back next year.
Dallas, which will miss the playoffs for the first time since
1990, ends the season on Sunday against the New York Giants.
