Cowboys to name Phillips new head coach

[cybok0]

Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, Bill Parcells ... Cowboys fans have been waiting for the next big name to lead a storied franchise. They might be surprised by the answer.

League and Cowboys sources have told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that Chargers defensive coordinator Wade Phillips will be named Dallas' head coach. Phillips traveled from San Diego to Dallas on Wednesday night after being told that he was their choice to replace the now-retired Parcells.

I guess Wade gets his 5th head coaching job.

He's a wonderful guy...and a great defensive coordinator. I'd like to see him succeed this time. But...something tells me he may not be cut out for head coaching. Lets face it, he had much more to work with in Buffalo and in Denver; and we all know how those gigs worked out.

Actually it's only his third head job. The other 2 were actiing coach for a few games and that was it.

But he was still the head coach.

So, the Bolts have now lost both coordinators since the G.M announced Marty's coming back as a lame duck head coach for next season. Hey, A.J. Smith, I hope you know what you're doing.
