DALLAS, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was urged in a newspaper editorial Tuesday to surrender his general manager's duties.
Jones is expected to fire Coach Dave Campo after the regular-season finale against Washington next Sunday and there has been speculation he will hire two-time Super Bowl winning coach Bill Parcells, with whom he held a five-hour meeting last week.
A loss to the Redskins would leave the Cowboys with a 5-11 record for the third straight year and the Dallas Morning News took Jones to task Tuesday in an editorial page commentary.
"If Jerry Jones really wants to see the Cowboys in the Super Bowl again," the unsigned editorial concluded, "he needs to look inside for answers before he tries to line up a high-profile coach to save the day.
"The Cowboys are one of only a handful of NFL teams where the owner also serves as the general manager. It isn't working.
"Hire any coach you want to lead the Cowboys, Mr. Jones. But then shock the worldd by telling him to call if he needs anything. Who knows? You might even enjoy the time off."
