Super Bowl or bust for Wade?

Coaches from playoff teams aren't usually on the hot seat. Then again, not many coaches preside over teams that haven't won a playoff game since 1996, are expected to go to the Super Bowl in 2008 and have the next head coach, Jason Garrett, ready to step in at a moment's notice. Wade Phillips has the temperament to withstand the pressure. Besides, he's no stranger to being fired. But it doesn't make the pressure any less real. So if the Cowboys don't make the postseason, or if they don't win a game or two once they get there, Wade won't be back in 2009.

With as much talent as the Cowboys have(on paper for right now), they should be the best in the NFC. So yes, Super Bowl or get fired.

Hey "Fan of Football", for a guy who has so little to say, you take up so much space. What gives FoF? There are better ways to show your displeasure for your boredom. Try a rubics cube or something. Sometimes a cold shower can work miracles. But stop the hate and anger FoF. You best get used to all the Cowboy stories/non-stories. Anyways, back to the topic at hand, Wade might not save his job even if he wins it all. Jerry's chomping at the chance to get Garrett in there. And honestly, if Wade can't do it with this group of athletes, then someone else needs to come in.

Super Bowl or Bust - thats the same way us fans feel too.

I will love my Boys regardless but it's getting harder to handle the losses.

Sorry about that. For some reason it's taking forever to leave a comment.

July 2, 2008  08:13 AM ET

Agreed. SB or bust this season. Hopefully the former.

July 2, 2008  08:15 AM ET

Tell him, BoBo. I thought there was something wrong with the thread.
Any non-Cowboy fan that wants to keep the Cowboys threads coming, just keep commenting. We find it amusing.

I wonder what Jimmy Johnson thinks???????

July 2, 2008  08:29 AM ET

Might as pack it in now Wade...it aint happening!!!!!!!

July 2, 2008  08:30 AM ET

Wade is done in 2008...even if they win the Super Bowl.

July 2, 2008  08:32 AM ET

Two things I know: The C boys wont make it to the Superbowl they will get knock off again in the playoff and two, is it just me of Jerry Jones grill is growing by the minute. Man! that guy suck big teeth, he chews food for the whole organization!!! My lord!

July 2, 2008  08:34 AM ET

G-MEN, VIKES, PHILLY, NO have a greater chance of making it to the SB than the Cboys do, believe you me!

July 2, 2008  08:45 AM ET

July 2, 2008  08:51 AM ET

Keep the comments coming, means more Cowboy threads. Your support is appreciated.

July 2, 2008  08:56 AM ET

The Vikings and Philly? What football games have you been watching?

July 2, 2008  08:56 AM ET

Well, they have had a remarkably healthy team the last two years, with many of the same pieces, and Parcells was the coach for one of those years, they had a bye in another. They have been set up for great playoff runs and it hasn't happened. It doesn't mean it won't happen, but even for the best teams in the league, nothing is guaranteed. Afterall, the Pats and Colts have only won one SB in the last 4 years.
