Jerry Jones met with the media as he usually does and this time got around to answering questions directly regarding his feelings about Mike McCarthy’s job stability, Sean Payton and his chances of being the Cowboys head coach, and the overall look at the future of the head coach position of the Dallas Cowboys.

Often times when Jerry Jones speaks you need to read through the phrases, quirky sayings, and ‘jerryisms’ to find the true meaning. This time as he faces the media is no different and while there seems to be a ringing endorsement for head coach Mike McCarthy, you have to take what Jerry says day by day and what is true now may not be true tomorrow.
