SAN ANTONIO – Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones indicated Monday the club will retain embattled defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin.
“Nothing there,” DallasCowboys.com quotes Jones as saying when asked about the future of Kiffin and offensive coordinator Bill Callahan. “Everybody who’s got a contract, we’re planning on him being there.”
Speaking to reporters at the Senior Bowl in Mobile Ala., Jones also said it was too early to discuss roster moves or the contract status of high-priced players such as defensive end DeMarcus Ware.
Kiffin’s first season in charge of the defense ended with the Cowboys allowing the most yards in franchise history (6,645). In finishing 8-8 for a third straight season, Dallas ranked last in total defense and gave up the first two 600-yard games in franchise history.
Only the 2012 New Orleans Saints (7,042) and the 1981 Baltimore Colts (6,793) allowed more yards than the 2013 Cowboys. In addition, Dallas 388 first downs allowed ranked second-worst all-time behind the 406 yielded by the ’81 Colts.
