The Wade Phillips era in Dallas is over.

The Cowboys fired Phillips as head coach Monday, FOXSports.com has confirmed. Phillips told people at Cowboys headquarters he was fired. He's owed at least $3 million for 2011."We are grateful to Wade and his contribution to the Cowboys, leading us," team owner Jerry Jones said at a Monday news conference. "We also clearly understand we are not where we want to be at this time, and that's an understatement. We share the responsibility — all of us."

Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett takes over as interim head coach. "He does have the opportunity to get the job long-term," Jones said. "I do believe Jason has the temperament and disposition to affect a culture change.

The season began with promise and high expectations, spurred by the fact Dallas is the site of Super Bowl XLV and  the Cowboys were hoping to become the first team to play in the Big Show in its home stadium. But instead of focusing in on "firsts," the Cowboys are suffering through a lot of worsts.

I chose to respond to this article because I agree with the cowboys decision to fire head coach Wade Philips. Even though he has done so well in the past , he only has a 1 and 7 record for this year. They had the chance to be in the superbowl in their own home stadium but they messed it up. I think they could have done this earlier and kept their chance at getting to the playoffs. I think that having an offensive coordinator as a head coach will benefit them because their offense is not very good and they will get more work if the head coach is an oc. I think the dallas coybows are going through the season like the 49ers. they are making stupid mistakes and not playing their best in the fourth quarter and throughout the whole game. Wade was a good coach before this season, 33-15 before this season, but he needs to prove he is a good coach to get his job back. please feel free to comment.
