The Dallas Cowboys have decided to retain defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin.

The Cowboys fired Rex Ryan after the 2012 season and Kiffin's defense was even worse. The Cowboys gave up 27 points per game in 2013.

"I had a guy tell me one time how to be successful, that no human can be right over 50 percent of the time on any decision, but it's the ones that cut the bad ones off quick and let the good ones run long," Jones said, per The Dallas Morning News. "That's hard to do. That's hard to accept. We all know that adage of the gold miner who walked away and the other one who took one more swing, hit the pick and found the gold streak, and so you don't want to quit."
