"@espn_macmahon: Jerry admits talk about Cowboys' direction under Jason Garrett rings hollow.
So Sean Payton's phone should ring soon.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Here's guessing Sean Payton had one heck of a happy Thanksgiving.
The suspended, soon-to-be free-agent coach's leverage keeps getting stronger.
The likelihood of his good buddy Jerry Jones making a high-dollar pitch to hire Payton away from the New Orleans Saints increases every time the Dallas Cowboys perform like a poorly prepared pee wee team in Jerry's $1.2 billion football palace.
Matthew Emmons/US PresswireJason Garrett is giving Jerry Jones less and less reason to keep faith in him with the Cowboys' continued poor play, particularly at the start of games.
The rest of the Cowboys' season is really about Jason Garrett justifying his boss' wavering belief that he's the right guy to coach this team.
Can you come up with any good reasons right now?
Jerry couldn't after the Cowboys followed the normal format of digging a huge hole at home and fighting hard in a failed comeback bid.
It continues to be all process and no progress under Garrett. It reached the point after a 38-31 to the Washington Commanders on Thanksgiving Day that even Jerry had to admit any talk about believing this mediocre team is headed in the right direction rings hollow.
