On Monday, the Dallas Cowboys became the first team this season to fire their coach. Somewhere, Andrew Luck is crossing his talented fingers that Jason Garrett fails worse than his predecessor.
I am not sure if Jerry Jones blames Wade Phillips for Tony Romo’s injury. I am also not sure what Jerry Jones expected out of Jon Kitna. But, what I am sure of is that I can’t fault Jerry Jones for firing Phillips.
Fans are demanding pain-in-the-butts for management. Our season is in ruin, partially because of an injury. Off with someone’s head.
Our most talented player is a rookie with ties to Deion Sanders. Off with someone’s head!
You’re no longer giving out free pretzels during the fourth quarter of home victories? Off with someone’s head!
Perhaps the Cowboys finish off the season 8-0, just barely missing the playoffs. Will the fans be pleased? Perhaps the Cowboys embarrass themselves by finishing 0-8, albeit locking up the first overall pick. Will fans be pleased? Or perhaps the fans become understanding of the struggles of managing the one team with the highest expectations in all of football. Will that make it the apocalypse?
