The bye follows the Seahawks game. I have maintained for many years Jerry Jones will not fire a head coach in-season unless his head coach has completely lost the roster. Brian Schottenheimer may be barely holding the team together, but it is still functional.
Wade Phillips lost his roster by early November. Not having his starting quarterback helped derail those players even more. If things continue to track as it has, I can *see* Schottenheimer getting the axe before the end of next month IF he loses Dak Prescott along with everyone else. He will not step into the month of December should he lose his starting quarterback's support.
