The dismissal of Brad Childress in Minnesota was inevitable, but Wade Phillips’ firing in Dallas could have been avoided had the Cowboys lived up to their potential.
The Cowboys’ turnaround since Wade Phillips’ firing shows their players quit on their former head coach – and that’s downright shameful.
Both the Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys have been colossal failures this season. The Vikings placed their bet on a 41-year-old quarterback while the Cowboys have failed to live up to their payroll.
The writing was on the wall for the Vikings after everything went their way in 2009. With a roster loaded with talent, the Cowboys’ demise is the bigger stunner.
Brad Childress became the second head coach to fall victim to unfulfilled expectations on a team picked to challenge for a Super Bowl title.

Michael Vick might be a contender by the numbers, but when it comes to narrative he’s the prohibitive favorite.
Michael Vick is showcasing a freakish set of skills that only seemed possible when you designed your own player in Madden. If he keeps this up, he’ll be much more than just a remarkable reclamation project.
If Michael Vick sustains his level of play and stays healthy, it could create a very interesting NFL MVP discussion at the end of the year.
