Wade Phillips Job Security

Just a quick thought since ESPN reported today that Jerry Jones has affirmed that Wade Phillips job is not in jeopardy even if the Cowboys fall to 0-3. If the Cowboys were to fall to 0-3, devastating as it may be, the season is still not lost. Their division is weaker than in past years and there is no reason why they could not go on a dramatic winning streak. With that being said, firing a coach at any part of the season is something that teams that have written off the year or teams that are in a serious rebuilding phase do; not teams that have any sort of playoff aspirations. Think about it. If the Cowboys fire Wade Phillips and even the incompetent Jason Garrett now it will cause further implosion within the franchise. These players are in Wade's system. Romo is in Garrett's system and has been for the past few years. At this point in time the solution to the problems is to tinker with what you have and fix the problem. Now, if, down the road, the season becomes lost, by all means fire the whole staff. If the cowboys fail to make the playoffs or give their fans another early exit performance the entire staff should be shipped out. For now, however, let us all just hold our breath and hope that we make it out the other side.
