Cowboys lose fifth straight game in Sunday night spanking on national television. ESPN is reporting that Wade Phillips (above) has been fired as the Dallas head coach. (AP Photo/Mike Roemer)The Dallas Cowboys (1-7) have made the change at head coach after their worst start to open a season since 1989. Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett will take over for Phillips.
"I've got a lot of work to do. I've got a lot of decisions to make and it's not just one, two, three or four," Owner and general manager Jerry Jones said after last night's beat down. "There's several decisions. I think everybody in this country would agree, there's a lot wrong with this team that I've got to address and certainly I'm the one to address it."
The Cowboys' horrible play made this decision happen as early as it did, and I doubt the change will have much affect on a team that seems poised to have a top-5 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, but it had to be done. These players have quit on Phillips and it's impossible, football-wise, to justify keeping him.
