Report: Jerry Jones and George Seifert meeting
today
IRVING, Texas (AP) - Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is meeting
with former San Francisco 49ers coach George Seifert today to
discuss the team's vacant head coaching position, according to
a published report.
Quoting a source it didn't name, The Dallas Morning News reported
today that Jones and Seifert would be joined by Larry Lacewell,
the team's pro and college scouting director.
Jones declined to comment on the report, but said he won't
hire anyone to replace Barry Switzer until after the Super Bowl,
because he plans to interview Green Bay offensive coordinator
Sherman Lewis.
NFL rules prohibit teams from discussing job possibilities
with members of Super Bowl coaching staffs until after the game
is played. Green Bay and Denver meet Sunday.
Jones said his plan to interview Lewis is unrelated to criticism
recently from black assistant coaches that they aren't being
considered for head coaching jobs.
"It has been my intent all along to visit with him,"
Jones said. "I would point out what happened in Green Bay
this season as a logical reason for why I would want to talk
to him."
