Not so fast says Barry Switzer, offering his insight into a Cowboys job he once held and an owner he knows well in Jerry Jones. Switzer said his sources in Dallas doubted Jones would turn to the college ranks to replace Bill Parcells. "Based on conversations I had with people who are nsiders, they told me that Jerry didn't want to go that route," Switzer said Monday. "Because of where they are, the time of the year with the draft and the learning curve of the salary cap. "I would be totally surprised if he went the college route. Totally, totally. And I've been told he wasn't going to go that route. I talked to somebody that knows, thinks they know." Stoops was mum on any interest in the Cowboys job. (NewsOK.com)
