Humiliating Defeat Prompts Speculation of Wade Phillips Being Fired

After the Dallas Cowboys lost in a big way with the Packers, by 45-7, speculation is running wild about the fate of the team’s head coach, Wade Phillips. The lost game from Sunday night at Green Bay has lowered team record to 1-7.

The Dallas Cowboys announced a press conference with Phillips, but media reports indicated that the head coach was not at the team’s training grounds of Valley Ranch, where he would normally be on a Monday.

Furthermore, according to ESPN, his SUV was not there either, although it would normally be parked outside the office of the scouting department.

Jerry Jones told the media after Sunday’s defeat that the team’s management has a considerate approach towards all actions performed at this time, as their impact for next year might be considerable. He also declined to make any comments about future plans or intended measures following the defeat.

Wade Phillips has a two-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys, which was signed after last season. According to the contract, the team would have to pay the coach through 2011 even in the event of his dismissal.
