Jerry Jones reiterated that Jason Garrett's job as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys remains safe.

"It's fair for you to ask," Jones told reporters at Senior Bowl practice in Mobile, "but he's not on my hot seat."

The Cowboys finished the season with a 9-7 record but missed out on the playoffs.

"I would like for Jason to repeat as Coach of the Year within 24 months. He's capable of doing that if we do good next year, be Coach of the Year twice in 24 months. That would be great."
