Jerry Jones Admits to Trying to Lure NFL Coaches
Cowboys owner claims he has attempted to recruit coaches from other teams.
The Brief
- Jerry Jones said he has tried to lure successful NFL coaches away from their current teams.
- The statement could be seen as tampering with NFL rules.
- Jones previously claimed there is no link between coaching pay and winning.
On Friday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones addressed claims that he deliberately underspends on coaches. He stated he has been attempting to attract top-tier coaches from their current teams.
Jones made the comment during an interview on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. The statement could be interpreted as a violation of NFL rules, as it implies he has tried to recruit NFL coaches without their consent.
The remarks came after Jones had previously denied any connection between coaching salaries and team success. His latest comments appear to contradict that stance.
While the NFL has not confirmed whether it will investigate the claims, the league is likely aware of the situation. Many believe Jones was attempting to downplay a previous admission about his spending habits.
