Jerry Jones addresses Garrett's future: 'You've got to come in 1st'

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has simple instructions for head coach Jason Garrett during the final stretch of the regular season: win.

Following a Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots, Jones' patience appears to be wearing thin with his 6-5 club. Feeling the pressure of the playoff push with the Philadelphia Eagles trailing the Cowboys by just a game in the NFC East, Jones laid it all on the table for his embattled head coach on Wednesday morning.

"Let me tell you, no one in this country has earned the right to say, 'I'm a Jason Garrett man' more than me. I am his man. And we want the very same thing. And that's for our players to play at their very best and we want his staff to coach at their very best," Jones began in an appearance on "Good Morning Football."

"The bottom line is we get graded. I'm in business. I don't have to win the Super Bowl in business every year. I can come in sixth and have a hell of a year. But in this business, you've got to come in first. You've got to come in first. So fundamentally, you've asked for something that's a very narrow window to begin with. I want Jason to get it done."

Garrett is in the final year of his contract. Jones has said he won't make an in-season coaching change, but he's yet to suggest the coach will be in Dallas beyond 2019.

Rumors have also swirled about Garrett landing with the Giants if he's not retained.
