The morning after a 45-7 loss on Sunday night in Green Bay in 2010 to drop the Cowboys to 1-7, Jerry Jones stood in the team meeting room next to his head coach, Wade Phillips.
Jerry spoke for several minutes to the entire team and said, “When things don’t go the way you planned in sports, particularly football, someone has to pay the consequence.”
Jerry then announced he had fired Wade. Wade told the team how much he enjoyed coaching the team, and walked out. Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett walked in, and Jerry introduced their new interim head coach.
