Garrett takes Cowboys reins from fired Phillips
Jerry Jones fired Dallas head coach Wade Phillips on the Monday and promoted offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to take over the Cowboys (1-7) on an interim basis. Defensive line coach Paul Pasqualoni replaced Phillips as defensive coordinator.
Jones, the Cowboys' owner-general manager, decided enough was enough following a 45-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday nighttime. It was the Cowboys' 5th straight loss and they've allowed at least 35 points in 3 straight games, which had not happened since Dallas went 0-11-1 in its inaugural season, 1960.
