Unless the Dallas Cowboys win the Super Bowl the question of Wade Phillips staying on as coach is going to come up. There are two train of thoughts here and let us look at them. The first one is you do not want to make a change because Phillips has been a good coach and got the Cowboys into the playoffs. Getting rid of him would not make sense right now since the Cowboys are winning.
The other train of thought is it's time for Wade Phillips to go. He has had his chances to win a Super Bowl and was not able to do if he does not do it this year. Phillips has struggled at times and a fresh face maybe what the Dallas Cowboys need right now to get them where they want to be.
My perceptions on the situation is that Phillips needs to go for a few reasons. One in my opinion he really is not much of a coach it seems. He follows what Jerry Jones wants and is just a puppet for him. Of course most of the coaches Jerry Jones hire is that way. The only ones that really weren't won Super Bowls. Secondly, it does not seem like Phillips is the coach that will get after the players like he needs to. For a team to be successful year in and year out you need a head coach who is a leader and will get on guys when needed. I just don't see that from Phillips.
In the end will Phillips stay or go? My guess is he will stay as Jerry Jones can control him and he likes that. Firing Phillips would not give Jones that and so look for Phillips to stay on at least another year good or bad.
