Jerry Jones has said emphatically that head coach Wade Phillips’ job is safe for the remainder of the season, despite the team’s three losses in four games. But there was no hiding the disappointment in either man’s eyes following the loss against the Rams, after which both addressed the team at length and expressed their feelings to the players.
Our sources say that Phillips is conducting business as usual amid speculation over his future in Dallas but that he also is willing to do whatever it takes to improve. He took extreme measures to improve the special teams before the Rams game, asking other assistant coaches to aid special-teams coach Bruce Read, and the units were far more solid in that loss. And we hear that Phillips is personally getting as involved with all his coaches, including putting pressure on offensive coordinator Jason Garrett and reportedly usurping play-calling duties from defensive coordinator Brian Stewart.
