Media darlings the Dallas Cowboys have become a disaster. They have Kitna as their quarterback since Tomo Romo is out for the season due to injury. Their defense is a joke and last Sunday night, Green Bay had destroyed the Cowboys 45-7. Owner Jerry Jones had enough and fired head coach Wade Phillips for the team’s failure.

IRVING, Texas — Jerry Jones never wanted to change coaches this season. As the blowout losses mounted, and Wade Phillips’ defense was mostly to blame, the owner-general manager of the Dallas Cowboys had no choice.

Jones fired Phillips on Monday and promoted offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to take over the 1-7 club on an interim basis. Defensive line coach Paul Pasqualoni was promoted to replace Phillips’ other role as defensive coordinator.

Jones decided enough was enough following a 45-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. It was the Cowboys’ fifth straight loss and the third straight that wasn’t even close.

“I recognized that after the game we just weren’t playing winning football and our best chance was to make a change,” Jones said.

The Collapse of the Cowboys shows that until the Superbowl is over, no one should be crowned. The Ray Lewis team (Ravens) are another group that shouldn’t let media love get towards their head. The Sports media has egg on their face for declaring Dallas a favorite. Jerry Jones did the right thing as an owner by firing the washed up and failed Wade Phillips. Failures should be removed and not rewarded!
