last straw. The Dallas Cowboys fell to the Green
Bay Packers 45-7 in front of a nationwide
audience. The entire nation watched as Jerry
Jones' team fell to a record of one win and seven
losses in 2010....and the game was not as close
as the score might indicate. The Packers had
over twice as much total offense and ran off almost
twice as many offensive plays than did Dallas. The
mere 39 rushing yards by Dallas might have been
the most disappointing of all. This from a backfield
of running backs Marion Barber, Felix Jones, and
Tashard Choice. Don't think the Cowboys dismal
season can be blamed on the loss of quarterback Tony
Romo... Dallas had lost five games when he was injured
and lost for the season. Romo might not be the super savior
of this franchise that most thought when he came along
in 2004 as an undrafted free agent. Romo just happen
to be the best of the lot at the time (Drew Bledsoe, Vinny
Testaverde, Quincy Carter, and Chad Hutchinson). Owner
and General Manager Jerry Jones is on the hotseat to
correct the destiny of America's Team and admitted to being
embarrassed over last nights game. After the latest
setback he told reporters that wholesale changes would be
coming for players and coaches. The Cowboys lack of
veteran coach may not make it to Veterans' Day of this
week before losing his job.
As you can see by the time stamp,..I wrote this story this morning,.. but this afternoon Cowboys owner Jerry Jones
followed through on his threat. He fired Head Coach Wade
Phillips and replaced him on an interim basis with offensive
coordinator Jason Garrett. This following a game where the
Cowboys showed 39 yards rushing the ball.. It must get better
than that. Hopefully the 'interim title' will last only for the
2010 season and Dallas will have a real coach hired for the
2011 season. Current Monday Night Football analyst and former Tampa Bay Coach Jon Gruden would be a good choice, or maybe former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill
