Dallas Cowboys Update: The Search for a Coach Continues
The online sports betting websites are buzzing after the Dallas Cowboys lost a game on Christmas Day to the Arizona Cardinals that they never should have lost. It is difficult for the NFL betting lines experts to say that a missed extra point will cost Jason Garrett the chance to become the full-time Cowboys head coach, but it is certain that place kicker David Buehler did not help his chances of being on the Cowboys roster next season, if there is a next season.
The sportsbook promo betting action this week for the Cowboys centers on two topics; the search for a new head coach and who will play quarterback in the Cowboys final game of the season. The coaching search is under way, but owner Jerry Jones says that his list of potential candidates is short. Aside from Garrett, the only other current Cowboy coach that Jones mentioned by name is wide receivers coach Ray Sherman. Jones says that both Garrett and Jones will be given a chance to go through the interview process when the season is over.
Other names that keep coming up are Jon Gruden and Bill Cowher, but Jones expressed some hesitation at hiring a former Super Bowl winning coach. Jones pointed out that no head coach has won a Super Bowl with two different teams, and the goal in Dallas is a Super Bowl.
Along with the high profile coaching names, candidates such as Mike Singletary and Norv Turner are also being discussed. While the media has been throwing names around for the interview process, Jones assured fans and the media that the short list of actual candidates is less than 10 and that this interview process will be much more comprehensive than the process that was used to hire Wade Philips.
Dallas Cowboys Wade Phillips to Return

Ed Werder published an article over at ESPN Dallas earlier today reporting that Wade Phillips will return as the Dallas Cowboys Head Coach next season. It is unclear whether Jerry Jones will sign Wade Phillips to a long term contract or just another 1 year deal, but I am sure that we will find out soon.
If you would of asked me 4 or 5 weeks ago I would have said that he should be let go, but that all changed once December started for me. Wade Phillips and the Dallas Cowboys shut up the critics by posting a winning record in December / January. The team also made the playoffs when most of the so-called experts wrote them off once again. The Cowboys won a playoff game this season, and Tony Romo looked great down the stretch. That said I think that this team needs to get rid of a certain red haired offensive coordinator. More after the jump!
