But despite the possibility that the 'Boys could miss the playoffs this year after being favored to rep the NFC in the Super Bowl, Jerry Jones says Phillips' job is safe.
"I don't have any inclination as I stand here, after this ballgame, about any coaching changes. ... And I don't see (coaching) as an issue," he added. "And it's not that fragile. It's just not that fragile."
[...]"You don't think for one minute Bill Parcells Jr. is going to come in here and do any better, do you? He didn't," Owner Jones said. "I don't think (a coaching change) is a cure all. ... Do we want to go to college and get one?"
The response of reporters -- who seem to be pretty feisty this time of year -- at the press conference was to inquire about Jimmy Johnson's success in Dallas. Jones was not, um, really complimentary of Jimmy's overall career.
"But what a price to pay. We were 1-15," he said. "By the way, he went down to Miami and got run on."
Well, that's surprisingly honest, kind of stupidly brutal and entirely unnecessary. Jones must, at this point, realize that some of the embarrassment of this week's loss to the Ravens falls on his shoulders, but even that obvious fact seems a bit too easy to grasp for someone as, uh, humble as Jerry.
