This is false.
Jason Garrett and Wade Phillips should have been fired the monday morning after the loss at Philadelphia in week 17 of the 2008 season. Not because they lost and missed the playoffs with a ridiculously talented roster but because no one on the staff including the two top guys could control the malcontents on the roster and allowed it to ruin the season. Romo's injury cost them two valuable games but ultimately it was about a locker room out of control.
Had they both been fired Jerry could have hired Mike Shanahan. This would have put Tony Romo in an offensive system almost perfectly matched to his skill set, this would have given Dallas a top end running game by at least 2010 or 2011. Shanahan didn't take crap from anyone and was the guy in charge. With Demarcus ware and anthony spencer in their prime he could have hired a good defensive coordinator and spent his time fixing the offense and most importantly his calling of plays on gameday would have been so much better.
It was an incredible opportunity to match scheme to our talent and they blew it. I also think jerry should have fired switzer after 96 and done whatever it took to hire Parcells in 97. 8, 22 and 88 would have had another shot at a title.
oh well. They almost pulled it off in 09 anyway. It was a big mistake from the jones family though. Mike Shanahan was the perfect fit for this team and was available. It should have been a no brainer.
Instead a number of fantastic players careers were wasted while the jones family tried to prove they were right with garrett.
