    OFFICIAL: PHILLIPS NEW COWBOYS COACH

    ESPN Sources: Cowboys to name Phillips new head coach

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2758164


    Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, Bill Parcells ... Cowboys fans have been waiting for the next big name to lead a storied franchise. They might be surprised by the answer. League and Cowboys sources have told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that Chargers defensive coordinator Wade Phillips will be named Dallas' head coach. Phillips traveled from San Diego to Dallas on Wednesday night after being told that he was their choice to replace the now-retired Parcells. Wade Phillips, who currently is the defensive coordinator for the San Diego Chargers, is 48-39 as an NFL head coach, but 0-3 in the playoffs. While contract details must still be worked out and a contract signed, a formal team announcement for Phillips could come as early as Thursday....

    That gets Jones his 3-4 dude, but sheesh.

    Wade Phillips ain't exactly the most exciting guy.

    JJ always looks for that media splash. This time, looks to me like Jones opted for control.

      Hard to imagine Wade Phillips and T.O. together.

        Also reading that Ron Rivera is Jones first choice for Def. Coordinator. 1) Isn't he under contract with the Bears? 2) Jones professes his love for the 3-4 Def. - Don't the Bears use a 4 - 3? 3) Why would a HC want the owner picking his staff? My co-worker said it and I agree - JJ is trying hard to turn the Cowboys into the Raiders.

          And it couldn't happen to a nicer, more deserving team, and their fans.

            Norv Turner showed a lot of balls when he said Jason Garret wasn't prepared to be an offensive co-ordinator. It's hard to see how that could lead to a productive working environment.

            The Cowboys primary focus needs to be to develop Tony Romo as a QB.

            Bill Parcells had become a little frustrated with Romo's freelancing late in the season.

              There's just no excuse for trotting out the same old retread coaches just because they have experience. Either higher a top coordinator or to the college ranks.

              Dallas fans must be pissed.

                On 1310 the ticket from Dallas they have a fake "Jerry Jones" who they interview occasionally.

                This morning he says, "I think Wade Phillips gives the Dallas Cowboys the best chance to tread water for another five years, and for his radio interview shows to kill y'all's radio ratings."

                      Title should be Dallas' next fall guy. He is just taken up space til Jones boy Garrett is ready.

                        I'd have to say this is the best news since Brett said he's coming back.

                          ...We really shouldn't be surprised by the Cowboys hiring of Wade Phillips. He runs a 3-4 defense and the move also will allow Jason Garrett full control of the offense, something he wouldn't have if Norv Turner was hired.

                          Look for the Cowboys to hire Ron Rivera as the DC in 2 weeks. Jerry Jones will make him the highest paid DC if need be....

                            Rivera is a cover 2 coach. Why would they bring him in when they have their 3-4 coach in place?

                              YOU DECIDE

                              I cannot say, but for fyi. JA, an insider, says it is on the table. You decide how much can be read into it.

                              ESPN is having a field day about it...is this a joke, yawns, best they can do?

                              Also, see what he says about Moss possibility...Packers are interested, and a side comment about Jenkins etc.
