Jerry Jones dangles a carrot for Wade Phillips
Posted by Mike Florio on December 2, 2009 7:07 PM ET
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones previously has declined to talk about the status of coach Wade Phillips beyond the current season.
The third-year coach, whose contract contains a team option for 2010, could be fired with no buyout obligation.
So is Phillips, who was fired from two prior head-coaching jobs, under pressure?
"I don't know that it's anymore so for Wade than it is for anybody else on this team," Jones said Wednesday, per Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com. "But what we do here and how we get into these playoffs . . . have a game [at home], get a bye. All of those are things that look good for Wade."
Jones left out one key factor: Win a playoff game.
The last such victory came on December 28, 1996.
So if Wade Phillips can do what Chan Gailey and Dave Campo and Bill Parcells and Wade Phillips (in 2007 and 2008) have been unable to do, maybe he'll be back for 2010.
