Actually. Jerry should have fired Wade at the end of last year. Sorry, but it is true. But, firing him now isn't a surprise. Hell. I would've been surprised if Jerry hadn't of fired him right now.

I would be surprised if Gruden came back to coaching. I wish he would. Love that dude on the sidelines. But ESPN pays him well to be on MNF.

This is a sad day for Cowboy haters. I wanted Wade Phillips to be the Cowboy coach for life. That, and Jerry Jones meddling in personnel decisions, would've ensured Dallas suckiness for years to come.

top ten coaching prospects for the cowboys next season

The big names:

Bill Cowher. Cowher's just about the ideal candidate. His Super Bowl rings give him the right to walk into any organization and act like he owns the place. He's intense, he'll get in a guy's face, and he's in a position to demand that Jones allow him all the autonomy he wants. Cowher takes a blue-collar, defense-and-big-men first approach to team building. That's what the Cowboys need.

Jon Gruden. I call this guy "The Saddle" because the Cowboys might want to ride him into a new era of football. In a lot of ways, Gruden is very similar to Cowher. He's got a ring, he's a big, bright name, and he'll also energize people and sell tickets. Fortunately, he is also much smarter than the character he plays on Monday nights.

The hot candidates who would be first-timers:

Perry Fewell. He's currently the defensive coordinator for the Giants, and is on everyone's short list right now. Clearly, he knows how to engineer a high-pressure defensive scheme.

Leslie Frazier. Has been a well-respected candidate for years now, but has never landed a head coaching job. The biggest obstacle here is that Minnesota's probably going to need him next season.

Jim Harbaugh. Hasn't been a head coach at the NFL level, but he was an assistant with the Raiders, and is currently overseeing a brilliant turnaround as head coach at Stanford of the semi-pro league. He'll be a hot NFL candidate next year.

Rob Ryan. His brother Rex's success with the Jets probably helps his cause quite a bit, as does the job Rob is doing in Cleveland right now. But, like everyone else on this list, his lack of NFL head-coaching experience, and thus, likely subservience to Jerry Jones, might not make him the best choice.

The names that are also big, but probably less likely:

Brian Billick. Billick has a Super Bowl ring and wants to get back into coaching, but he isn't the fiery type that gets people excited, like a Gruden or a Cowher.

Marty Schottenheimer. If Cowher doesn't want the job, Schottenheimer would be my next choice. Everything the Cowboys lack right now -- work ethic, togetherness, discipline, toughness -- are the things Schottenheimer has stood for and never failed to instill at any of his coaching stops. No, he's not a wizard in the playoffs, but the Cowboys are 1-7. Perhaps the playoffs are a worry for another day.

Tony Dungy. Dungy says he's retired and has no interest in unretiring, but who knows what can happen when Jerry Jones opens up the wallet. He's also a Super Bowl champion, and commands as much respect as anyone ever has in the league.

Bill Cowher will never coach the Cowboys. His and Jones approach to how to build a franchise are too radically different. Plus, Cowher will demand no meddling by Jones. That is not ever going to happen. Jones having his hand in the football end of the business is more important to him than winning a Super Bowl.

Gruden is possibly best suited to the job.

I have no feelings one way or another for the Browns. Honestly, I wish them and Mangini well. Just not at the expense of the Jets... bigsmile

i just hope he can continue what he's been doing.i thought Denver made the biggest mistake by trading him but i guess he's doing more for the Browns than for Denver,so his trade might have been a blessing in disguise
