No.  After jerry dumped him as head coach for Garrett??

Wade is not a real good HC and McCarthy likes to hand the D over to his DC.  Phillips would not let his ego get in the way. He’s a football guy through and through and knows he would make the cowboys D better than it has been.

How idiotic.  While he's proven many times over to be incapable as a head coach, he has been an extremely successful coordinator everywhere he's gone.  He was the furthest thing from their problem this year.  If not for Williams obviously very much deserving to retain his job, I'd be all for the Jets making a run at him.

Rapoport is already reporting that Mike Nolan will be new Cowboys DC.

Phillips will be in Dallas within 24 hours

No. Nolan will be McCarthy's DC. And Haslett will be involved, I think.  Hes one of the guys McCarthy has been confabing with this season, having meetings and analyzing film like they were a coaching staff. We'll see.

Wade is a great DC, and a bad HC.

I also think Wade will have his choice of jobs, and will not go back to the Cowboys, who also no longer run his preferred 3-4

The only thing worse than seeing Bowles as HC was watching Wade pretend to be the HC. He was pure garbage. 

He is the classic "Great DC, poor HC".

Basically, he is too nice.   Players know he won't cut them mid season, but he is one of the very best DC in the last 20 years of the league.
