Well, it finally happened. Jerry Jones finally cut the strings of his latest puppet head coach. So, Wade Phillips has lost his puppet master is once again able to think for himself. Yes, Wade has proven himself as a capable defensive coordinator however he has always lacked success as a head coach. You can see this with the time he spent in Buffalo and most recently Dallas. Buffalo did not come with all the extra baggage that coach in Dallas comes with. However, I do think that this solidifies that in the quest of the modern head coach to gain power and control of an organization they stretch themselves too thin.

But coaching in Dallas is a different animal all together and coaching the Cowboys puts one under an microscope. Not only is the media critical but also the Cowboys large fan base. Of course, you always have the element of the owner and general manager being father and son. One cannot deny that Jerry Jones is established in real estate and the marketing of the Cowboys. This cannot be said about the current collection of people in the front office of the team. It has been apparent foe some time that the Jones’ appear to have a lack of football knowledge. Poor draft picks and numerous free agent signings top my list of red flags. Of course, just look at how the team is run. The inmates run the asylum.

The actions of the players and poor player personnel choices would have never happened if the late great Tom Landry were still with us today. I am not a Dallas Cowboys fan nor will I ever be but they are in my backyard and I get to see all the stupidity for myself with a front row seat.

So, the boss is still the same just a new puppet calling the plays. Good luck Jason Garrett, you will need it. After this season is over may I make a suggestion? Take your talents to another team. They will only be wasted in Dallas.
