Coaching turnover? Cowboys players trust staff, feel team is close to contending

Count wide receiver Terrance Williams among the players who feel the Dallas Cowboys aren’t far off from contending again for a championship.
Williams echoed the sentiments of Jason Witten, Sean Lee and Ezekiel Elliott after Sunday’s 6-0 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles that ended a disappointing 2017 season.
And Williams sees no reason for the organization to make drastic changes such as firing offensive coordinator Scott Linehan or coach Jason Garrett.
“We just didn’t get it done. It had nothing to do with Scott. It had nothing to do with coach Garrett,” Williams said on Monday as players cleaned out their lockers. “I’ve been in this system for five years and it did me well. We have guys who can stand here and say, ‘We didn’t get the job done.’ Plain and simple as that. We just didn’t get it done.
“Scott called great plays. Coach Garrett called great plays. They put us in situations to make plays. We didn’t get the job done. So now we have to sit at home and watch and get better for next year.”
Williams and quarterback Dak Prescott have been among the most vocal in support of Linehan in recent days, although his job status remains in question. The players, of course, don’t make that decision.
Garrett is safe, as owner Jerry Jones has vouched to stay with him going into 2018. But Linehan has received plenty of criticism for an offensive unit that took a step back this season.
