IRVING, Texas (AP) – Jerry Jones is stuck.
The Dallas Cowboys are 1-6, going nowhere fast and there’s hardly anything the team’s owner-general manager can do about it.
Everyone is talking about him firing coach Wade Phillips. Jones clearly doesn’t see how that would help, or else he would’ve done it by now, especially with Phillips all but offering up his headset with what sounded like a concession speech following a loss at home to mediocre Jacksonville last Sunday.
Keeping Phillips would be unpopular – heck, it already is – but few people are as well-versed in it as Jones, the guy who fired Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson, hired Barry Switzer and other perceived “puppets,” and cut Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith.
