Things are getting tense within the Dallas Cowboys organization. There are reports of tension between quarterback Tony Romo and head coach Jason Garrett following the collapse last week against the Green Bay Packers. Garrett essentially blamed Romo saying he called an audible out of a run play when he threw the interception.
Then there are reports of a “frosty relationship” between Romo and running back DeMarco Murray. Now ESPN’s Ed Werder, who reported the Romo-Garrett tension, is saying that the Cowboys coaching staff is working under pressure.
According to Werder, the Cowboys will fire Garrett along with the coaching staff if the Cowboys don’t win the NFC East and make the playoffs. Jones seemed to be reaching a breaking point when asked about Garrett’s job security after the loss to the Packers.
Source says current expectation is Jerry Jones will fire HC Jason Garrett and coaching staff unless the Cowboys win NFC East, make playoffs.

I've been told that Jerry Jones doesn't want to fire Jason Garrett, prefers to be right about him as HC but needs to make playoffs
