PHILLIPS SAID IT HIMSELF

By mark rogers
November 2, 2010

"If I knew what to do, I'd have done it already."

Wow. Really?

Did the head coach of "America's Team", 5-time Super Bowl Champion, most talented team in the NFL really say that in a public setting?

Yes. He did. And it should be the final nail in his coaching coffin. Can you imagine Jimmy Johnson, Bill Parcells, Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden, Tom Coughlin, Bill Belichick, Vince Lombardi, Tom Landry, or Joe Gibbs saying those words in public???

Phillips pathetically uttered those words in the post-game press conference after a 35-17 home beat down against a mediocre Jacksonville team on Sunday.

It's really hard not to feel super sorry for Phillips. Getting mad at Phillips is like getting mad at your senile grandpa for spilling a glass of water at the dinner table. He's helpless. He's hopeless. And, by his own admission, has no idea what he's doing.

So, then, why is he still the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys? Because Jerry Jones can't admit he made a mistake and wants to keep pouring time, energy and resources into a project that is doomed to fail. All those resources are just delaying the inevitable.

And this ball was set in motion when Bill Parcells left. Those good years with all those Pro Bowlers and a playoff win were just facades in front of a diseased and rotting core. Facades put in place by an agressive owner spending buckets of money, which isn't bad, he's just spending buckets of money in the wrong places...easy for me to say, I'm not a billionaire.

This diseased and rotting core should have been noticed when the Cowboys won 13 games then lost their first playoff game.

It should have been recognized when we began leading the league in penalties every year.

It should have been identified when we were absolutely embarrassed in front of the last home crowd at Texas Stadium.

All that to say...Phillips will be out before the season is over. I can almost guarantee that. What I can't guarantee is that Jerry Jones will wake up and smell the roses. And those roses are thousands and thousands of money-spending Cowboys fans who are about to start spending their money elsewhere. Maybe that's the only way the fans can get Jerry to listen.

I guess if any of us knew what to do...we'd have done it already. Sheesh...
