As you’ll read in this week’s dead-tree version of The Sportatorium, hitting newstands tomorrow, I think Wade Phillips should be fired. Immediately.
No, actually, I think Jerry Jones should’ve walked down to the sideline in the third quarter of the Philadelphia debacle after Tony Romo unceremoniously stripped Phillips of his credibility/authority and yanked the coach right off The Gong Show.
Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett? That’s a different story.
No doubt the Cowboys’ offense – record-setting and star-spawning in 2007 – regressed in 2008.

But why?
Was Garrett over-paid and overrated during last year’s 13-3 run? Or were this year’s failures more a product of injuries (Felix Jones, Kyle Kosier, Tony Romo, Terry Glenn, Miles Austin, Jason Witten, Sam Hurd, Marion Barber) than the failure of his system?
I still think Garrett will make a good NFL head coach. So do the Lions and Rams, apparently, even if the Broncos pass him over.
What’s your take?
Is Garrett still a rising star with innovative ideas? Or, as Romo and Terrell Owens hinted late in the season, is he a one-hit wonder that defenses have already solved?
