...despite another late-season beat-down. (AP Photo/Amy Gutierrez)Coming off the second-worst playoff defeat in Cowboys history against the Vikings, Dallas coach Wade Phillips is going to stay another season.
Phillips has led the Cowboys to two NFC East titles in three years as the coach, winning 33 of 48 games in that span. With Phillips calling the plays, Dallas also had their best defense this season (in terms of points allowed) in more than 10 years.
Many Cowboys' fans are all pissed at the moment and want Phillips, Jason Garrett, Ken Hamlin, Tony Romo, etc, etc gone but obviously those aren't rational decisions.
I say what the hell. Give Phillips one more shot with this team and, if they falter, then you break it all up. But the fat man has done a good job, even if he hasn't lived up to Cowboys' fans' lofty expectations.
There is also a chance that this Cowboys' team - with emerging young players such as Miles Austin, Anthony Spencer and Mike Jenkins - might be even better next season with another year of experience under their collective belts.
