It will be interesting to see what Jerry does if the Cowboys win on Sunday and win the NFC East . And even better if Minnesota wins they will get a bye and the number 2 seed. I never thought that would have happened. More to follow. Merrill Ed,

Now that Wade Phillips have won a few games in a row – he might be safe. It will be interesting to see what Jerry does if the Cowboys win on Sunday and win the NFC East . And even better if Minnesota wins they will get a bye and the number 2 seed. I never thought that would have happened.

He is Jerry Jones’ puppet - Jerry needs a puppet He can’t win the big games - He beat New Orleans and Phily He can’t win in December - 2 for 2 is better I don’t think he is great with the media - Was Bill Parcell's any better? I say he is keeping his composure for the most part, which is good enough. Do you agree with my assessment? - No, but I can respect it; Look at Washington, they had 5 plus talented coaches in ten years and what did that do for them? We need some stability and patience. What do you think of my choice? Bill Cowher is a great coach. It took him 10 years (I think) to win a Super Bowl. Wade has made it to the playoffs 2 out of 3 years. Shouldn't he get another year or two if you believe in the Bill Cowher idea? Wade is not perfect, but Jerry NEEDS a puppet and a yes man. Marty S or Bill Cowher are great coaches, but they are not puppets. Do you think Jerry is going to change? I highly doubt it. Who do you think should coach the Cowboys in 2010? I would love to see Bill Cowher in 2010, but that would mean Jerry would have to give up the reigns and that is not going to happen. So I say Wade Phillips for the 2010 coach. He is a very good defensive mind also. I will go with the devil I know versus the next puppet I don't know. I don't believe Jerry will hire Bill Cowher. I do respect your opinion though. He is too nice of a guy

-When is being nice a bad thing?

He is Jerry Jones’ puppet

- Jerry needs a puppet

He can’t win the big games

- He beat New Orleans and Phily

He can’t win in December

- 2 for 2 is better

I don’t think he is great with the media

He doesn't have to be good with the media to satisfy me. I guess Bill Parcells was entertaining with the media, but a jerk. Belichieck isn't so good with the media (see above). I don't mind him being a nice guy. Tony Dungy is a nice guy. Bill Parcells wasn't Jerry's puppet and he didn't win any big games with the Cowboys nor did he have a winning record in December. I am tired of guys like Parcells and Jimmy Johnson maintaining their God status for what they did before free agency. Jimmy Johnson was a failure with the Dolphins, with Marino as a QB. Didn't he lose his last playoff game by 60 points and then quit? Wasn't that his dream job that he stole away from Don Shula after tricking Jones into getting rid of him? My disappointment with the Cowboys this year and much of last year is with the Golden Boy, Jason Garrett. Does an offensive genius throw two passes to Hurd on the goal line against Champ Bailey? Does a genius run a declining Marion Barber right at Hainsworth twice in a row? Garrett is hard headed and he has cost us a couple of games this year. Our defense has been great the last part of this year with only a couple of glitches against the Giants. They (whoever they are) say the defense wins championships and the Cowboy defense is doing great right now. I know, the comment will be that Phillips should be a defensive coordinator, and that is probably his strength. It is possible that Phillips wins two NFC East Championships in three years and hopefully wins one or more playoff games. Do you fire him then because he isn't good with the media? Is Phillips the perfect head coach? No. Would he be my first choice? No. But does he deserve to get fired? No. Just my opinion.

Romo is a whiner... Perhaps a new coach can whip him into shape, but I'm not convinced. Honestly, I'm with Ed D. Keep the marginal coach and fumble through the next season. GO CHARGERS!!!

Jones and Da Boys have had very good success in the past when they have brought in a top notch college coach. Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer won titles at the collegiate level and then brought Da Boys their last three Super Bowl trophies.

If there is any indications that the Trojans will be placed on probation, Uncle Petey is flying out of town as fast as you can say John Calipari. Yes, J. Jones has brought in some very good head coaches in the past (J. Johnson, Barry and the Tuna) but he has also replaced them with some very questionable people (Gaily, Campo & Phillips). If he can get Carroll at the right time and the right place, Uncle Petey could be looking for real estate in South Lake. Merrill, his program is under the microscope at the moment.

I actually think he is perfect for the college game and wouldn't give the pro's another chance or at least I don't believe he would be successful. Merrill Ed,

Few things in Football bring me more joy than seeing Dallas lose. So here's hoping Jerry takes the Wayne Fontes, Lovie Smith school of coaching and sticks with whoever makes Dallas, just good enough to almost win, but ultimately lose in a heartbreaking fashion. :) As a Packer fan, I’m cheering for Dallas to continue to have a bad coach.

He's the prize. I've heard that Cowher is too smart and prideful to get close to Jerry's micro management of the team. I think money will talk and Jerry will get him IF he wants him.
