Cowboys Coaches On Firing Hot Seat As Jerry Jones 'Extraordinarily Disappointed'?

The Dallas Cowboys were handed a brutal football lesson by the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a 24-16 loss at AT&T Stadium on Thursday, causing fans to demand change.

Does Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hear them?

Consider ...

Led by rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels, the Buccaneers dominated every phase of the game, as they totaled 419 yards of offense, which included 241 on the ground.

Daniels had only six incompletions, going 19-of-25 for 189 yards and a touchdown, with a 110.3 rating.

Plus, the Buccaneers owned time of possession, winning it 39 minutes to 20 as at one stage, Tampa had a drive that lasted over 10 minutes.

So ... speaking post-game, owner Jones wasn't in a good mood.

"Extraordinarily, extraordinarily disappointed," Jerry said.

The owner then took a couple of seconds, looking at the ground before he continued.

"Really do need to get it done when it's there to take," he added. "They were basically very physical, I thought both their fronts, really surprised at how well they ran the ball.

"Their staff, their quarterback, all their players, have got a great victory here tonight. It was a tough loss for us."

A "tough loss'' is an understatement.

And praise for the Bucs staff means something less than that for coach Brian Schottenheimer and rookie defensive coordinator Christian Parker.

All of the issues that has plagued the Cowboys all year came to ahead in the worst way.

Costly penalties, three turnovers, the defense gave up a 3rd-and-21, it was just an awful performance all-around, and if we are being truthful, the scoreboard flattered Dallas.

The tackling was bad; there were receivers running wide open (Tez Johnson on a 64-yard pass where DaRon Bland slipped) and there were splash plays on the ground (Bucky Irving had a 72-yard run on the very first play of the third quarter).

Yes, it was just pathetic.

Yet Jones used words like "competent'' when describing Parker, one of the many culprits for the 2-3 start.

So while that's hardly a resounding compliment, it's a hint that Parker, 34 and seemingly in over his head, isn't getting fired.

That concept was echoed on Friday by Schottenheimer, who said he knew his hiring of Parker would mean "growing pains.''

Sure, but ... where's the "growing''?

We are now five weeks into the season, and the Cowboys' defense looks worse than it did last year, which we thought would be impossible.

This mini-bye should see some deep soul-searching from Dallas in every aspect. Some thing we might even see a shake-up to the coaching ranks as well, but Schottenheimer has now addressed that.

As our Mike Fisher points out ...

"Schotteheimer says on the one hand, “You’d be foolish to rush those decisions'' regarding staff/role changes, but then adds, "We (this coaching staff) are the solution.'

"So, nothing from Schotty except talking in circles.''
