Wade Phillips Will Finish Year as Cowboys Coach, Jerry Jones Says

Filed under: Cowboys, NFC East

If you have any date before the end of the year in your office's "When Will Wade Phillips Get Fired Pool," now's a good time to stop making plans with the money you thought you'd win.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told KRLD-FM in Dallas Friday that Phillips will finish the year as the team's coach, settling a bit of uncertainty that cropped up earlier in the week when he seemed to leave the door open to a coaching change. The Cowboys, who dropped to 1-6 with last week's loss to the Jaguars, play the Packers in Green Bay on Sunday night.

The news isn't particularly surprising. While Jones did a lot of talking about making changes and difficult decisions that needed to be made, he never really came close to putting his coach in the crosshairs. The reason why people felt free to speculate was mostly because he also stopped short of giving the vote of confidence that had become a weekly ritual after Dallas losses.
