Wade Phillips Should Be Fired As Cowboys Head Coach

Took the words right out of my mouth. Whether or not Wade is a good coach is one thing, but this late season collapse falls on the shoulders of Jerry Jones. This particular mess is his mess and his responsibility.

Dallas has a lot of talented players i just don't understand why they can't get it done. I know they are in a tough division and it may be hard to dominate. Wade Phillips is a pretty good coach and i do not fully blame him for the Dallas cowboys mess. Jerry Jones needs to think about the direction he wants his Dallas cowboys to head into. Taking T.O. and Pacman is not a good way to build teamwork in an organization. But hey im no Jerry Jones

It is Jerry Jones fault in part because he has assembled a roster full of high-ticket athletes. Many of these players have given forth a lackluster effort, honestly to spit in the face of many players who put forth a great effort. Maybe you can blame this on Wade Phillips but when it comes down to it, a head coach in the NFL isn't going to give any player a heart. Wade Phillips is the most laid-back coach in the NFL, and it is no coincidence that his team is the most penalized. He says he is going to change his ways this off-season, but I wouldn't buy it. This is the downside to Wade Phillips as a head coach. He is a defensive guru but when it comes down to it his players lack discipline. He has spent many years as a defensive coordinator in this league and it seems that's where he should have stayed all along. Wade was never seen as a long-term answer in Dallas but more a short-term fix. He gelled quite well with this team in 2007 and it showed. But I think he has lost a little control over his team. He will be given a chance in 2009 to change his ways and to bring this team back, and with the amount of talent Dallas has, it is a good bet that they will bounce back. Jerry Jones will reassemble his roster to attempt to change the team's attitude and effort level. In the end, I see Wade Phillips tenure in Dallas over at the end of the 2009 season. Jerry Jones would like to turn to his long-term option, the young Jason Garrett.

I completely disagree with you on many aspects that you presume to be necessary to make the Dallas Cowboys a winning force in today's NFL game. How can you fire the owner of the team he has rights to? It is absurd to think that the Dallas Cowboys would be a dynasty that would last forever, this is why the NFL is a great medium. When it comes down to it - the players of today are much more conditioned than most of the players from the past. The fuss over Terrell Owens being a distraction to the Dallas Cowboys locker room is nothing but made up fantasy, Terrell Owens is a player that is willing to sacrifice everything to be the best at his position.
