Jerry Jones doesn't like to repeat his good sound bites, so he found a new way to say Jason Garrett isn't coaching for his job. The Cowboys have identical endings to all three full seasons under Garrett, losing to NFC East rivals to finish 8-8 and miss the playoffs. ''In my mind he is more of an asset after this last 8-8 season than he was before the first 8-8 season we had three years ago.'' In Jones' mind, that means Garrett is gaining experience since replacing Wade Phillips in the middle of the 2010 season. Dallas hasn't done that since 1990, when the Cowboys entered his second year as owner coming off a two-year mark of 4-28.
