Jerry Jones Would Look Like an Idiot If He Fired Wade Phillips after the Season

If Jerry Jones fires Wade Phillips after this season, it wouldn't be the first time for Jones to make himself look like an idiot.

Take the 1998 draft where he refused to take Randy Moss with the eighth overall pick; since then, Moss has destroyed Dallas every time the Cowboys face off against Moss.

Then there is the bright idea that Jerry knows best! And the hiring of complete puppet head coaches...a lot of good that did you, huh Jerry? One was fired just after his second season, another one was fired after going 5-11 three years in a row, and good 'ole boy Barry rode off into the sunset after doing you a favor back in 1995 taking what was all ready built and giving you Super Bowl win number five. 

Now, there is Wade Phillips, who after just one season has no safety net after the season is done, according to some because J. Jones wants Garret to be the head coach.

But how soon we forget that Wade did bring this team to its 13-3 record and its first division title since 1998, despite the fact that Dallas failed to advance past the first round of last year's playoffs.

So, if this is true, once again Jones reflects the negative light on himself and on the Cowboys franchise, going from owner of change to ring leader of a circus that even he can't control.
