‘Jones doesn’t care about winning’: fans irate after Rams L, Garrett extension rumors
Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett will be at the head of the table in the Dallas Cowboys War Room on draft day. Max Faulkner mfaulkner@star-telegram.com
It’s over.
On Saturday night, the Cowboys were eliminated from the NFL playoffs by the Rams, 30-22.
Dallas went in to the game an underdog and Los Angeles made a few more plays when it mattered most.
The Cowboys trailed 20-7 at the half. And despite a relatively strong second-half push, the team came up just a bit short.
During the early part of the season, fans often directed their collective anger at owner Jerry Jones and head coach and Jason Garrett when the team lost.
But the Cowboys produced a strong second half of the season that included an NFC East division title and a wild-card win over the Seattle Seahawks.
Garrett made a few questionable decisions (namely the decision to go for it on fourth down in the fourth quarter) on Saturday night. He also received criticism for playing Sean Lee over Leighton Vander Esch in key moments of the game.
And earlier in the day, reports indicated that Jones is likely going to offer his head coach a contract extension during the offseason.
Garrett has served in that role (in a full-time capacity) for the past eight seasons.
Of course, the social media reactions from fans across the NFL were pretty strong.
Jerry Jones doesn’t care about winning though. Y’all went out and bought new jerseys and other merchandise, and that’s all he wanted. Checkmate.

Congrats, Jason Garrett won a playoff game last week. Now you’re stuck with him for the next 10 years

Every Cowboys fan should have seen this Choking Act coming.....it’s what they do under Jerry Jones and Jason Puppet

They haven’t showed Jerry Jones or his family once in this game...

When will the Cowboys be tired of mediocrity and fire Garrett? Every year they do *just* well enough for Jerry Jones to justify keeping his pet employed.
— Ryan W. Bradley (@rwrkb) January 13, 2019
Not sure how the #JerryJones can continue to watch as poor results are delivered. Garrett is a good man, but a marginal coach. #CowboysNation needs a leader and a winner.
— Kevin Walkup (@walkup1) January 13, 2019
I knew I couldn’t trust Jerry Jones
— Horchata Papí (@matt_Aye_Oh) January 13, 2019
Jerry Jones please tell me your watching this game and changing your mind to not Give Happy Clappy Jason Garrett another contract please don’t bring him back
— Kyle Bounsall (@topcornerkyle) January 13, 2019
How is it that after almost ten years of failure to advance past the divisional round Jason Garrett continues to be the Cowboys coach?
— One Cowboys Way (@onecowboysway) January 13, 2019
Another year. Another #Cowboys choke job in the playoffs. Jerry Jones is never going to see another ring except a wrestling ring before he dies.
— NOT George McCaskey (@fauxmccaskey) January 13, 2019
I hope Cowboy fans enjoyed that Wild Card playoff victory last week. It's going to cost us 5 more years of mediocrity and Jason Garrett!
— Brian Bumpus (@origmaverick) January 13, 2019
Jason garrett needs to grow a pair
— Louis Roney (@loukenbachtx) January 13, 2019
LMAO someone said Jason Garrett coaches like an 8 year old girl plays madden
— luke allen (@lukeallenfs) January 13, 2019
Guys, don’t worry. Jason Garrett can clap away this 13 point deficit.
— Sashi Hinkie (@fantasygumshoe) January 13, 2019
I wonder what it takes for Jason Garrett to get mad
— Mike (@mikey_esquivel) January 13, 2019
Idk if we win this game or not. Jerry Jones needs to step down as GM. Dak is garbage. Scott Linehan is garbage. Jason Garrett is garbage. Tired of this team
— Jordan Belfort (@jonesin4jordan) January 13, 2019
I know Jason Garrett isn't the worst coach of all time but man he tries his best to be
— Travis Sanders (@tsanders2323) January 13, 2019
The puppet master .. Jerry Jones.. thanks for the season.. enjoy the boat
— mark ricciardi (@mricciardi4) January 13, 2019
The only thing that makes me smile as a Redskins fan rn is Jason Garrett contract extensions
— jay (@jaybayboss1) January 13, 2019
I want to see Chris Christie and Jerry Jones consoling each other in the suite before the end of the game.
— Dustin Gouker (@dustingouker) January 13, 2019
The #Rams are executing. Its gotta be driving Jason Garrett crazy. Its like his favorite thing in the world. #Cowboys
— Humble (@ihumble) January 13, 2019
Did Cowboys party yesterday or what? That bum Jerry Jones really started celebrating for nothing yesterday.
— Daniel Mohajer (@boasmohajer) January 13, 2019
I'm tired of watching mediocre Jason Garrett on the sidelines, fire him after this game. I'm not content to simply make playoffs and win a weak division. I wanted to make a Super Bowl run!! pic.twitter.com/r30wbSfh60

We need a coach like Bill Parcells again. Somebody with some guts. A guy who will get in your face when you’re messing up. I feel like Jason Garrett just claps and smiles his way through every disappointment
— Cowboy (@__skayde) January 13, 2019
He should have been fired years ago. He knows the sweet spot on Jerry Jones's ass to kiss.
— Derrold Purifoy (@derrold) January 13, 2019
they gotta fire jason garrett and promote Kris Richard to head coach
— bhrís(@ceejayy2k) January 13, 2019
If losing 17 games in a row would get rid of Jason Garrett then I hope the @dallascowboys lose today and every game next season. He is weak as they come.
— Michael Woods (@sportwoods) January 13, 2019
Jason Garrett not screaming at the refs over that ref-called sack is the most infuriating thing he’s done
— Mitchell Rummel (@mitchrumm) January 13, 2019
Me a couple minutes ago:
"Jason Garrett is my least favorite ginger. If he was a Weasley he would definitely be Percy."
My trash talk game might need a little work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
— Ali (@alison_Redden) January 13, 2019
Cowboys just can’t catch a break tonight. The curse of Jerry Jones looks to extend itself for another year.
— Devon Birdsong (@devonbirdsong) January 13, 2019
Two words: Jerry Jones. Or three, if you want to include a word between Jerry and Jones.
— Alice Vermillion (@aliceinolympia) January 13, 2019
As long as Jerry Jones owns the cowgirls I wish them nothing but misfortune
— Ethan (@marshallhendrx) January 13, 2019
Hey Jerry Jones, the last time the Cowboys made it past the Divisional round:
- Bill Clinton was president
- Toy Story was in theaters
- The majority of people reading this tweet were likely less than 5 years old. #NFLDivisional
