Cowboys Fans Grow Impatient As Decision On Coach Jason Garrett's Future Remains Unknown
(CBSDFW.COM) - Dallas Cowboys fans have a question for team owner Jerry Jones: "What is going on?"
Four full days after the season ended with the 8-8 Cowboys missing the playoffs, many fans are surprised and some are frustrated Jones hasn't announced plans to move on and hire a new head coach after more than 9 seasons with Garrett at the helm.
Fans are making their opinions known on social media.
MrQuakenbush said on Twitter, he's starting to question whether or not he can remain a Cowboys fan.
You know...the longer the @cowboys go without terminating Jason Garrett, the more I question whether or not I want to be a cowboys fan anymore. For 29 years I've loved them. I can't root for a team in which I want them to win more than they want to win themselves. #NFL

NFL Draft Blitz tweeted Garrett may get an extension, something that wouldn't happen with any other organization.
"Only in Jerry's world, Jason Garrett will get an extension and stay as the coach of the Cowboys in 2020. It is too perplexing," the account said.
