Fire Wade Phillips

here ya go sign itF

I found a blogger who thinks he has not seen a compelling argument that a new coach would have more success. Well not many coaches can do much worst with a dozen Pro Bowlers. It’s time for a change, Dallas deserves a winner. Fire Wade Phillips now.

Jerry Jones’ loyalty to Wade Phillips is a mistake. Even after watching his team implode, Jones stood in a demoralized locker room Sunday and insisted that Phillips would remain the Cowboys’ head coach. That is bad news for Cowboys fans. The Cowboys folded under pressure, ending the season with losses against the Ravens and Eagles to miss the playoffs. Jones needs to ask himself if the Cowboys are really better off if Phillips stays.

There is nothing to indicate that Dallas will be more successful under Phillips next season. He has never won a playoff game, and the Cowboys regressed this season with a talent-laden roster. Imagine Phillips trying to control Dallas’ locker room now.

Maybe Jones is reluctant to fire Phillips because offensive coordinator Jason Garrett does not look ready to become head coach. Garrett never figured out how to get wide receiver Roy Williams more involved, and Garrett was severely outcoached by Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson. If this had been a chess match between Johnson and Garrett, Johnson would have said, “Checkmate” in the second quarter. Jones has to take some of the blame for assembling an overpaid and overrated roster and coaching staff. But Jones is being stubborn, not smart, when it comes to keeping Phillips. If Phillips really keeps his job, he should change his name from Wade to Lucky.

FIRE WADE PHILLPS. If you are a masochist, watch the lowlights from yesterday

Several coaches are on the hot seat. Who is next on the firing line?
Green: I think it’s the Cowboys’ Wade Phillips. Dallas is sitting at 4-3 and still is very much in the playoff hunt, but owner Jerry Jones has little patience when his club is failing. Marvin Lewis and Rod Marinelli might seem like more logical choices, but the ownership groups in Cincinnati and Detroit are accustomed to losing. They’re also frugal and unlikely to fire a coach during the season and pay him to stay away from the team. The Cowboys have tough games coming up against the Bucs and Giants leading up to their bye week. If they lose those, expect Phillips to be replaced by offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.

Horton: Phillips may be the sacrificial lamb in Dallas if the Cowboys continue to lose — even though firing him wouldn’t make a lot of sense. The perception is that this talented team is soft, but Garrett won’t provide any more toughness or discipline as a head coach. Brad Childress (Minnesota), Marinelli and Lewis are in deep trouble, but each should make it through the end of the season. Romeo Crennel (Cleveland) and Herm Edwards (Kansas City) also are on the fringes of the discussion, with Mike Holmgren (Seattle) due for

Kretz: The schedule, as much as anything, probably will determine which coach gets the next pink slip. Think of it as a process of elimination. The Bengals aren’t likely to eat any contracts in the middle of the season, and the Lions already made their play (dumping Millen), so I think Lewis and Marinelli are safe at least through the season. Childress, at the helm of an extremely inconsistent club, has been under a lot of criticism. But the Browns have been one of the season’s biggest disappointments, and Crennel isn’t getting

Williamson: It’s Philips in Dallas. Of the head coaches on the hot seat, he’s the one blessed with the most talented roster and cursed with the owner who is most heavily invested. Plus, the Cowboys already have a successor waiting in the wings in Garrett, who is destined to land the job eventually. Rarely am I in favor of a team making a move like this during the season, but in Dallas’ case, it would be the right call.

1. Wade Phillips, Dallas — I don’t care how many “emphatically no’s” Jerry Jones issues when asked about Phillips’ job security, no one’s butt is roasting on a larger griddle than the Cowboys head coach’s. At 4-3, Dallas has already matched last year’s regular-season loss total, and given it was pretty much Super Bowl or bust for Phillips in 2008, it’s not too difficult to discern where this one might be headed. Especially when you consider that Phillips’ successor — Jason Garrett — has already been chosen and is on hand as offensive coordinator.

The way the Cowboys seemed to lay down for Phillips in St. Louis last Sunday is the most ominous sign of all. Even without injured starting quarterback Tony Romo, Dallas has too much talent to let anyone administer a beating like that. It looks like Phillips’ easy-hand-on-the-wheel style is just not the right fit for this headline-loving Cowboys team.

• Pink slip potential: 80 percent.
