Report: Cowboys won't make any immediate changes to coaching staff

Despite owner Jerry Jones' admitted frustration with the coaching staff following the Dallas Cowboys' 13-9 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, no immediate coaching changes will be made, ESPN's Ed Werder reports.

"With the makeup of this team, I shouldn't be this frustrated," Jones said after the loss. "I don't think there's a game where a coaching staff couldn't do better. I don't like that we've got so many as I'm standing here tonight."

Head coach Jason Garrett was widely criticized for several decisions, including choosing to kick a field goal with the ball at the Patriots' 11-yard line while down by a touchdown with six minutes left in the game.

Jones took particular umbrage with special teams coordinator Keith O'Quinn after a miscommunication between Cowboys returners on a kickoff with 11 minutes left in the game. Two returners failed to field and advance the ball and it was downed at the 11-yard line.

"I think that every aspect of special teams, when you really look at it, have been problematic for us. There's no question about that," Jones said, according to team writer David Helman.

"To me, special teams is 100% coaching. It's 100% coaching. It's strategy, it's having players ready. That's why, today, (Patriots head coach Bill) Belichick - give him credit. They did a great job on special teams, and that was really, probably the determining difference. But special teams is nothing but coaching."
