More than an hour after the Cowboys' 41-35 loss to the New York Giants on Monday night, Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones was again asked about his confidence level in coach Wade Phillips' ability to turn his 1-5 team around. Jones said he understood the question but thought it was unfair because no matter what he said it would be deemed negative for his coach. "I don't think about doing anything differently having only played six ball games, period. I don't," Jones said. "I just don't want to answer the question, and any way I answer the question can be termed negative and it shouldn't be." Phillips is 35-22 in four NFL seasons with the Cowboys and most likely is headed to his first losing season in Dallas. Phillips has compiled only one losing season as a head coach -- in 1994 in Denver, when he went 7-9 and was fired after that season. He runs a one-win team that many pegged as a Super Bowl participant but now has lost its starting quarterback Tony Romo for an extended period of time with a fractured left collarbone. "We've got a big challenge here and I don't need to be mixing and matching at this stage, I just don't," Jones said of making a coaching change. "We got a long way to go." Source: ESPN Dallas
Well, it would be stupid to fire him now that we lost our starting QB and the season is pretty much over.
Nah dude, Wade is to WIDE(joke). Tossing a twinkie instead is the easier way. There really is no sense to fire a coach with no idea of a next season.
"Yeah, and I'll go tell Jerry that this is MY team, and........crap. He's right behind me, isn't he?"
