At this point I hope they do. Then draft the best QB they can.

I am floored.

Wait, no I'm not. In fact, I voted for Phillips in the "Who's the first coach to get fired" thread

 

[Balt]

I thought Chilly would go first a couple of weeks ago.

Phillips isn't enough of a hardass to coach a team and organization full of egos like the Cowboys anymore I think.

 

[SunnyD]

Adam Schefter is reporting that Phillips has NOT been fired (yet).

 

[thegimp03]

Not surprising, I think I voted for Wade to be the first to go as well.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I think Jerry finally listened to reason. He had annointed Garrett the successor-in-waiting years ago, and with the dismal performance of the team, decided he needed to evaluate if that was the correct course of action. So Garrett is getting an 8 game audition.

They have been talking about his firing on local sports talk radio 105.3 for about 20 minutes now..

Romo is the least of that team's problems, IMO.

my buddy (life-long cowboys disciple), was hoping for Wade to be fired immediately after the game! :awe:

then, trade Romo for 1st round pick, tank the season for another top first round pick.

how epic would that be?

Oh, and give the reigns to Gruden.

He should have been fired at halftime.

If Garrett wins a couple, Jerry will keep him around, I bet.

I don't know that I'd risk trading Romo. I like making fun of the guy as much as anyone, but he is a good, solid QB. With proper coaching, maybe even great.

 

[zebano]

Now if only I could get so lucky as to have Chilly get fired.... (damn you Brett for saving his job ... again).

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Duh...Duh...Duh...Another one bites the dust! Duh...Duh...Duh...Another one bites the dust!

(I don't want to include Landry, Parcells, or Jimmy with these buffoons)

Adam Schefter is reporting that Phillips has NOT been fired (yet).

He's partially correct, its not official until 4:00pm, but all Dallas local affiliates(ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox) are reporting the decision has been made and press conference will be made at 4:00pm to announce it.

or this guy

My Bills may be 0-8 but it warms my heart that Dallas is 1-7.

He's good skillwise but mentally I don't think Romo is a winner. He seems to get shaken too easily upstairs, maybe it's maturity I don't know.

=) Where the hell did they get the moniker "America's Team" anyway? That one drives my wife crazy and I think it's rather stupid considering how the league is spread across the U.S.A..

 

[IndyColtsFan]

"Jon, please coach the Cowboys. I'll do anything! Even marry you!"

 

[Patranus]

I might of help if Jerry Jones got his hands out of player/personnel and let the professionals do their job.

Oh, lets draft a WR even though we desperately need an o-line. Genius!!!

Oh, now our starting QB is out because we have no o-line ;(
