There is growing sentiment that the Dallas Cowboys should fire coach Wade Phillips.
Critics are correct in blaming most of the problems of this 1-6 team on Phillips. But there are other issues that must be rectified if things are to change -- regardless of who the coach is.
Talk to agents, players, scouts and front-office people around the league and ask them about the Cowboys. The list of responses is long.
No structure. No on-the-field leadership. Arrogant. Worn down from training camp. Not enough character guys. Poor decision-making on the field and by the front office. No fear of players losing their job because of poor performance.
That's what you'll hear. And none of the opinions is flattering.
