FROM THE MORNING CALL
ESPN is reporting that Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has fired coach Wade Phillips, one day after Dallas fell to 1-7 in a 45-7 loss to Green Bay on natioal television.
Phillips will be replaced by offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, sources told the network.
Phillips was given a two-year extension last winter after leading the Cowboys to their first playoff win in over 10 years. But he couldn't survive a disastrous beginning in a season that began with expectations of the Cowboys becoming the first NFL team to play a Super Bowl in its home stadium. Dallas will host the Super Bowl in its new $1-billion stadium next February.
Jones, who said repeatedly that Phillips would finish out the season, has never fired a coach in-season since purchasing the team in 1989.
Phillips was 35-23 with two NFC East titles during his tenure in Dallas. He is 83-65 as an NFL head coach.
