We ALL saw this coming. Jerry Jones fires Wade Phillips after losing to the Green Bay 45-7 and fucking up the churches money on Sunday Night.
"I recognized that after the game we just weren't playing winning football and our best chance was to make a change," Jones said. "We are grateful to Wade and his contribution to the Cowboys, leading us. We also clearly understand we are not where we want to be at this time, and that's an understatement. We share the responsibility - all of us."
Jones has promoted offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to take Wade's place on an interim basis. Now who knows how this is gonna work out, some are welcoming the change and ready to see if Garrett will be able to pull these Cowboys out of the rut that they've dug themselves in. Others, like myself, feel that Garrett is part to blame for how shit has been going but we shall see.
Phillips is ending his career as a Cowboy with a 35-23 record, has won 2 NFC East titles, and getting the Cowboys their first playoff win since 1996.
Wade released the following statement:
“I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the fans of the Cowboys and to the entire Jones family for all of the support that we received here in Dallas. I would also like to thank our coaches and players for their loyalty and dedication.
“I told the team today that I have been proud to be a part of their family, and that will never change. I have enjoyed the privilege and responsibility of representing this franchise as its head coach.
“I am disappointed in the results of this season to this point, but I am also very proud of what our team and our players accomplished in the previous three years. In good times and difficult times, our players stuck together and never lost hold of their belief in each other and the strong team bond that they have shared. Family and coaching football have always defined my life and I will always be grateful for my experiences here with the Dallas Cowboys.”
Well Mr. Wade Phillips, it's been fun but apparently Jim Jones sees you as the weakest link.... Goodbye!
