Switzer Says He Has Done a Super Job

Associated Press

Barry Switzer isn’t blaming himself for the Dallas Cowboys’ failed season.

“I did as good a job as when we won the Super Bowl, probably a little bit better considering some of the younger players,” the coach said Tuesday.

Dallas has won three Super Bowls in the 1990s, including one in Switzer’s second season as coach.

This season, a combination of injuries, age and undisciplined play has led to a 6-9 record, putting Switzer’s job in jeopardy. Owner Jerry Jones has refused to say if Switzer and his assistants will be back.

The Washington Redskins, preparing for next year as well as their must-win season finale against Philadelphia, signed kicker Chris Jacke through the 1998 season.

In order to make the playoffs for the first time since 1992, the Redskins have to beat the Eagles and hope either Detroit or Minnesota loses.
