Dallas Cowboys Coach Wade Phillips Fired

Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips (http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2010/11/08/dallas-cowboys-coach-wade-phillips-fired/#) has been fired.
Jason Garrett has been named the new interim head coach. Garrett had previously been the Cowboys (http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2010/11/08/dallas-cowboys-coach-wade-phillips-fired/#) assistant head coach and offensive coordinator.
The Cowboys are off to their worst start since 1989, with a 1-7 record. That record includes five straight losses.
This is the first time, in Dallas Cowboys history, that a head coach has been fired mid-season.
The Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to hold a press conference at 4:00 p.m.
CBS 11 Sports is covering the story and will have more details as they become available.

So who's taking over? I kind of agree with what Trent Dilfer said yesterday, and that's if the next head coach isn't already on the staff, you shouldn't make a firing midseason. Although in the Cowboys case, it almost seems like Jerry had to do something. The players don't even care anymore.

Is Bill Cowher the head coach next season?

Don't worry though. The Cowboys have the Lions in a couple weeks. Jerry Jones could be the QB and the Cowboys should win (not that winning is necessarily what they want to do at this point). But at least they'll have another win on the season.

It's in the article...Garrett is the interim...after this year? Who knows...let's see what Jason can do first.

Sweet, now the Bills are guaranteed Andrew Luck

[blizz]

he's been a terrible OC after his first year....why does anyone think it'll be any different with garret as the HC? they're gonna be the same.

[DeadlyDynasty]

It's the right move to make, he's only the "interim" HC...the season is lost and with the uncertainty of next year's CBA, you don't wanna commit to somebody else.

[jag]

Jason Garrett probably isn't the guy...even if he does show promise as a head coach, i'd rather have Cower as the HC next season.


And I love how LeBron is tweeting about the cowboys...calling them his team. That homo is a Yankees fan and a Cowboys fan.

[Duff McCartney]

The Jason Garrett Era is beginning, and will last 8 games. Garrett won't do jack shit and Campo as a DC is almost as bad as Wade as the DC.

We'll see what happens. On the plus side the Cowboys will get a pretty good draft pick. Unless they gave it away to the Lions.

[samikeyp]

Cowher will go to Carolina. There were rumors flying that JJ has spoken to Gruden but nothing substantial.

[JoeTait75]

They should have fired him after the loss to the Giants in the 2007 playoffs tbh.

I wouldn't mind John Fox if all else fails. If the Cowboys decide to wait another year Jeff Fisher is a definite possibility.

This is what I heard too...Cowher's daughter's are in North Carolina, I think. I'd rather have Gruden anyway...love his style..he's a football guy...period.

He's my other hope...Fisher or Gruden and I'd be on Cloud 9.

Fisher is happy in Nashville. He might have some issues with Bud Adams, but he's not stupid enough to think Jerry would be any better.

We can always hope..sometimes certain personalities clash, and others work...it's worth a thought, at least.

[The Gemini Method]

Finally...I'm not a Cowboys fan by any means, but seeing how long Jones kept Phillips as the ship kept spiralling downwards is a travesty to the faithful who do like the 'Boys. Though they should've probably let him go a couple years ago and especially after losing in last year's playoffs.

My money is Childress is next...

The latest joke on the internets is that Wade is happy he was fired before all the Mall Santa job vacancies got filled :lol

[Texas Chili Dog]

I think Gruden/Chucky is the most likely next coach. Just listening to him speak, it seems pretty clear that he wants to coach somewhere and he almost sounds like he has already been auditioning for the position from the broadcast booth.

Rumors were abound that JJ was talking to him earlier this season...I can only hope...he'd be my pick.

I'd rather have Cowher, but I'd settle for Chucky. He just seems the most likely at this point. Of course, by January that could change.

You make a good point. Those stupid Spurs fans should root for their local San Antonio NFL football team.

[Duff McCartney]

Why is everyone so enamored with Jon Gruden? He's only had two very good seasons...one more than Wade Phillips had. He also won a Super Bowl with Tony Dungy's team, and when he had to build one..they were mediocre.

He had one very good year in Oakland and one great year in Tampa Bay. Check his record and other than that he's been very mediocre. Hell if you take away Wade's interim jobs, and this year...you basically have Jon Gruden's record as a coach minus the Super Bowl.

Watch Gruden coach and talk football and watch Wade coach and talk football...won't take much to understand the difference. One demands respect and is a disciplinarian and one is a powder puff...the Cowboys need one of the two...guess which one that is..

Cowboys should make Garrett the full-time HMFIC. Put him in a position where he's secure through this year AND can decide the fates of the guys playing under him. That's the best way to ensure the players show some effort and the team win some games and at least build toward next season.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Good, but damn I was hoping Garrett would get the boot as well. We are fucked even more if he sticks around.

No offense at all...but spam is basically sending out bulk information to get people to go to your website or purchase something...putting out links to your website on a website that so many people view on a daily basis is spam. Not saying it's wrong, as long as Kori and LJ aren't bothered by it, neither am I..but I tend to agree that technically, that is spam.

Don't worry..unless they go 6-2 or better for the rest of the year, I see us fans getting what we want...a big name disciplinarian coach. JJ wouldn't have fired Wade a day after he said Wade was staying if he wasn't ready to swallow his pride at least a little bit.

Too bad he didn't do it several weeks ago when they were clearly playing uninspired ball and a change might have made a difference. I'm still happy with the change.

[Death In June]

Wade was a good coach and all this lack of discipline talk was mostly a scapegoat from fans in denial. It's much easier to talk intangibles than come up with any real concrete arguments against the guy. In any case, I think it's laughable that red balls has been given the job. He is a horrendous playcaller and OC and he'll make an even worse HC.

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah, they've clearly been playing hard because they fear and respect him, and the guys not giving any effort have been on a very short leash.

This lack of disclipline talk was obvious to fans with eyesight.

[Jawlinedo Cockman]

*Ahem* about time already, Wade Phillips' regime was about as soft as my jawline

[Duff McCartney]

Exactly what I'm saying..

But that doesn't mean anything if there aren't wins to show for it. I'm sure Gruden will get in their face and demand respect, just like he probably did in Oakland and Tampa Bay.

The fact still remains that for all the respect that he commands and that you say Wade is a powder puff, take away that Super Bowl Gruden wins with a team built by Tony Dungy, and they have comparable mediocre records.

[Obstructed_View]

When did Gruden become a football genius again? I guess it's when he did a Barry Switzer with the Bucs that Dungee built?

So you think Wade commanded that locker room? You feel like his players were well disciplined?

I guess you also thought he was doing a superb job as the defensive coordinator, right?

[Death In June]

I think he had the team playing well until Romo went down. The defense and the offense were ranked in the top ten. The majority of mistakes were made from over-pursuit, or from an over awareness of their reputation as penalty prone. Guys seemed to be trying too hard, rather than not trying hard enough or because of any lack of focus/lack of discipline. To me, that mantra seemed to wrap things up into a neat little package for the media and fans to regurgitate, rather than focusing on the many, many problems this team had. Sometimes it was a personnel problem, definitely. On special teams for example. When you let go of many key special team pieces in the off season and rely on one of your worst draft classes in years to fill in the gap, you're going to suffer for it. Up until Romo went down, you didn't have an argument or at least it was a flimsy one. After that happened, the team gave up. So I can see some validity in what you're saying. But, I don't think a disciplinarian would have made much of a difference, not when you have personnel on your team that quits. I don't subscribe to the idea that a disciplinarian is that effective at the profesional level of play. You remember all those times Tony Dungey yelled at his players? What about Lovey Smith, or the majority of coaches that have gone to the super bowl the last few years? Do they carry that reputation? Moreover, JG is Jerry's answer? That's the best he could do? JG will not have success as the HC. He will be abysmal.

[Blake]

They should have fired him after the loss to the Giants in the 2007 playoffs tbh.

he should not have been hired in the first place

Jason Garrett is not the longterm answer, moron. He's only here to fill the gap until next season where Jerry brings in a big name or if a miracle happens and Garrett completely turns the team around. The Phillips firing had to be done. He brought absolutely nothing. His leadership sucks, and the defense has really gone downhill. The defense runs exclusively man-to-man and nothing else. What kind of joke is that? You could have the best corners in the league, but if the QB knows what's coming everytime it doesn't matter. If Phillips doesn't have a good defense, he's worthless.

[samikeyp]

even better.

Actually, JG's probably the head coach. League rules require that Garrett be given the "interim" label because they have to interview a minority for the job. There are also quite a lot of reports up here that players don't like JG, many of the same guys who liked Wade. My guess is that it's because they know they won't get to sit on their helmets at practice or be able to show up whenever they want anymore.

[Spursfan092120]

As long as fans understand that firing Wade isn't going to completely turn this team around, we're kosher. We've got a lot of work to do..this is just the beginning. And I really don't see Garrett keeping this job unless he goes 6-2 or better over these last 8 games, which still probably won't get us in the playoffs. Either way, Garrett won't be here next year, and we won't be in the playoffs...one man's opinion.

[Death In June]

When the rest of us were learning how to function in society, was your second grade math teacher teaching you how to fist a second grade math teacher?

I'm sorry, but are you denying that you said exactly what he said you said? Were you misquoted? :lol

[StylisticS]

What is this shit that he should have done this several weeks ago? He should have done this several YEARS ago. He should have been fired after the 44-6 bullshit. In fact, he should have never been hired.

I have high hopes for JG though. I think he can be a better head coach than offensive coordinator. Some people are like that. Wade is a better coordinator than a head coach. Norv is a better coordinator than head coach. Sherman is a better position coach than head coach. Hopefully Jerry let's him make the decisions and he chooses his own staff.
