Jerry Jones has come under fire after another disastrous season for the Dallas Cowboys. With less than one percent chance of making the playoffs, they are virtually eliminated from a postseason appearance in two consecutive years.
During an appearance on “105 The Fan” on Thursday, Jones got real about his team’s underwhelming campaign. He shared his unfiltered take on who is responsible for the fallout.
“There’s no question,” Jones said as per The Athletic’s Jon Machota. “There’s no manning-up or anything. I know exactly who is ultimately responsible. I’ve always had that because I’ve always had the responsibility.
“I take it real serious, and more importantly, there is accountability in a very, very big way. I’ve got to live with when we’re out of money and when we want to sign a player and we don’t have any money left under the (salary) cap. I have to live with that.”

Jerry Jones made several changes to the coaching staff and roster this season. However, this proved futile as they underperformed according to expectations. On Sunday, after a disappointing 34-26 loss to the Vikings, he did not mince his words while expressing his dismay.
“We certainly didn’ think we’d be here in this kind of shape with three games to go, and to have to be behind the eight ball the way we are,” Jones said. “It’s very disappointing. I’m really obviously very disappointed for our fans. I’m disappointed for these players.”
Skip Bayless heavily crticizes Jerry Jones after Week 15 loss to the Vikings
Skip Bayless was visibly frustated with the way the Cowboys fumbled the game against a struggling Vikings team. Quarterback Dak Prescott failed to find the end zone, ending the night completing 23 of 38 passes for 294 yards.
On social media, Bayless shared a clip where he heavily criticized Jerry Jones and coach Brian Schottenheimer.
“This is, this is inexcusable from Bozo Jerry and company, you know, Schotty, s***y,” Bayless said. “I don’t know. He’s just a guy to me. He’s a nice guy. Fun to watch occasionally. And the team really likes him to a fault because nobody’s afraid of Schotty.
“Nobody’s afraid. There’s no Jimmy Johnson operating there. There’s no Tom Landry operating there. He’s just a guy in his fifties who never got a shot to be a head coach, even though his father was a very good head coach. … we don’t have a real head coach.”
The Cowboys are currently 6-7-1, sitting in second place in the NFC East behind the Eagles. They next face the Chargers on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
