Going into the playoffs it was assumed that Wade Phillips had to win a game to remain as the Dallas Cowboys head coach. Wade and the ‘Boys dominated the Philadelphia Eagles as they had in two previous meetings. All good, right? Wrong. Dallas got handled 34-3 in the Divisional round by the Vikings and owner Jerry Jones spent the final minutes of the game hovering over Wade Phillips’ shoulders.
The loss drops Phillips to 1-5 in the playoffs but the Cowboys should bring him back. He’s won the NFC East two of the last three years and he turned the defense around when he became the coordinator. Losing to a better team shouldn’t cause panic, but this is what happens after playoff losses.
If you look closely at Jerry Jones he looks pissed. Why in the world would you keep a worthless coach like Wade Phillips?
