Bye, Bye Wade

It's just about official, according to ESPN.  Wade Phillips is no longer the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.  Even though most of us have called for his head for weeks, even years, it still is shocking to hear it.

Perhaps the most shocking part is that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had the guts to pull the trigger after saying that Phillips would coach out the rest of the season.

Will a head coaching change at this point save the Cowboys season?  Probably not.  Jason Garrett will have his hands full as the new head coach trying to instill confidence in a Dallas team that is reeling toward a possible 1-15 season.  But, I guess for Jerry Jones the team can't get any worse and it's better to install Garrett now than at the end of the season.

What the team really needs now is a coach like Bill Parcells who won't put up with an undisciplined team.  At least the team knows Garrett.  But can they respect him as a head coach?  I don't expect a discernible change in the team overnight.
