Wade Phillips Details Getting Fired by Jerry Jones in New Book

Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips discusses his time as the Dallas Cowboys head coach in his book, Son of Bum: Lessons My Dad Taught Me About Football and Life, including when he found out offensive coordinator Jason Garrett was making more money than him and his firing by team owner Jerry Jones.

Deadspin provided an excerpt of the biography which was released Tuesday. The Texas native recalled asking Jones for one more chance to go out on a winning note before getting fired in the middle of the 2010 campaign.
