Why Hasn't Jeff Saturday Resigned?

So for the time being, all we can do is patiently wait to see what Saturday says, and (more significantly) see what Jim Irsay says.

Obviously no owner is going to be that patient today. But 7 years seems like an awful lot of time to learn on the job.

Good example.

Also, Jimmy Johnson ...... the Cowboys were 1-15 in his first season as their head coach in 1989.
